## Step 1: Install a Wallet

### MetaMask (Recommended)

## Step 2: Add BNB Smart Chain

IMP Money runs on BNB Smart Chain (BSC). Add the network to your wallet:

### Network Settings

| -------------- | ---------------------------------- |

| RPC URL        | <https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org> |
| Chain ID       | 56                                 |
| Symbol         | BNB                                |
| Block Explorer | <https://bscscan.com>              |

### Quick Add

Most wallets auto-detect BSC. When connecting to imp.money, you'll be prompted to switch/add the network automatically.

## Step 3: Get BNB for Gas

1. Buy BNB on an exchange (Binance, Coinbase, etc.)
2. Withdraw to your wallet address
3. Make sure you select **BNB Smart Chain (BEP20)** network

## Step 4: Get USDT

You'll deposit USDT into IMP Money:

1. Buy USDT on an exchange
2. Withdraw to your wallet on **BNB Smart Chain (BEP20)**
3. USDT contract on BSC: `0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955`
