# Getting Started

### Create a Wallet 

To get started on Bitdollars, the first thing you'll need is to set up a wallet that supports Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Wallets are available both on desktop computers and on smartphone devices. You'll need to choose the wallet that fits your needs best.

When you're setting up a wallet, be sure to: 

1. ✅ Download and install only the latest version from an official source. 
2. ✅ Follow the setup guide carefully. 
3. ✅ Safely back up your recovery phrases. 
4. ❌ NEVER share your recovery phrases with anyone, under any circumstances. 
5. ❌ NEVER input your recovery phrase to a website or app, other than your wallet app

**Smartphone/Mobile or Desktop wallet?**

Mobile device wallets and desktop-based wallets have different strengths and weaknesses. Consider which fits your needs better to help decide which type of wallet to use. Smartphone/Mobile wallets allow you to access your crypto almost anywhere. Wallets are available on both Android and iOS devices.

You can find more in-depth information about each wallet below, as well as download links and installation guides:

**Desktop/Web Browser wallets**

Desktop wallets are available on your home computer or laptop computer. Wallets on your computer can run as standalone applications, or as web browser plugins for popular browsers like Chrome and Firefox.

### **Get BEP20 tokens**

The native tokens of Binance Smart Chain (BSC) are BEP20. To do most things on BSC, you will need to pay gas, which comes in the form of BEP20 BNB. You will also need the BEP20 version of any token you want to trade, stake etc. on BSC

**Connect your wallet to Bitdollars**

You've made a wallet and gotten your BEP20 tokens, now you just need to connect your wallet with Bitdollars and you're good to go!
