1. Step 1Trade Cash For Crypto If you already own BNB you want to trade, skip this step and go directly to step two.

   If you don't currently own crypto, then the first step is to get some. In this step you will be buying some Ether BNB. You are buying Binance Coin because you can directly swap it for BAN in step 3.

2. STEP 2Send BNB to a Crypto Wallet

   Now that you have BNB in your Binance.US exchange account you need to send it to an Binance-compatible wallet. The industry standard crypto wallet that we will be using for this is Metamask.

   1. Visit Metamask.io
   2. Download the browser extention for Chrome on desktop or the Metamask app for iOS or Android.
   3. Complete the wallet set up process taking special precaution to record your Secret Recovery Seed Phrase. You will lose your funds forever if you lose access to your wallet and can't recover it with your backup recovery phrase.
   4. Navigate to chainlist.org to add the Binance Smart Chain to your Metamask.
   

   How to send Binance Coin (BNB) to Metamask

   1. Copy your new Metamask wallet address by clicking "Receive" and then click "Copy."
   2. Navigate to your Binance.US wallet and click "Withdraw" on your Binance Coin balance.
   3. Select "BEP20" on the BNB withdrawal screen.
   4. Paste in the Metamask wallet address you copied earlier. Make sure you are using your Binance Smart Chain account address!
   5. Double check the address you pasted vs the address in your Metamask to make sure no copy/paste errors occurred.
   6. Once you're 100% satisfied that the addresses match, "withdraw" your BNB from Binance.US.
   

   Now that you have your Metamask wallet set up, let's move on to buying some Banano.

3. STEP 3Connect Metamask to a Price Aggregator

   Now that you have BNB in your Metamask wallet, you will find the best price to buy BAN.

   How to Find the Best Price for Banano

   There are many decentralized exchanges on Binance Smart Chain where you can buy Banano. You could simply pick one of them and use it and hope that it's the best price.

   But the best option is to use a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator to find the best price possible without having to compare each one manually. A DEX aggregator like 1inch.io uses the power of open defi programs to compare prices across all marketplaces. 1inch saves you time and money by automatically choosing the best price and then placing that trade for you.
