Navigating the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) starts with one essential tool: a reliable crypto wallet. For users engaging with Binance Smart Chain (BSC), the TokenPocket (TP) wallet offers a seamless, secure, and user-friendly experience. This comprehensive guide walks you through every step—from downloading and setting up your wallet to transferring assets and distinguishing between Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain—all optimized for mobile use.
Whether you're new to blockchain or transitioning from another platform, this tutorial ensures you can confidently manage your digital assets on BSC.
How to Download the Wallet
To begin your journey, download the official TP wallet application from its verified source.
Visit the official website at tokenpocket.pro and select the appropriate version for your mobile device. Install the app directly from the site, ensuring you avoid third-party sources that may distribute compromised versions.
Once installed, open the app to proceed with wallet creation or import.

How to Create a Binance Smart Chain Wallet
Creating a new wallet is straightforward but requires careful attention to security details.
- Upon launching TP Wallet, tap "I don’t have a wallet", then select Binance Smart Chain from the available options.
- You'll be prompted to set a wallet name and a strong password. Choose a unique password that combines letters, numbers, and symbols for maximum protection.
- After creation, you’ll enter the backup phase, which is crucial for long-term asset safety.
Backing Up Your Recovery Phrase
You will see a 12-word recovery phrase (mnemonic seed). This phrase is the master key to your wallet—never share it and store it securely offline (e.g., on paper or a hardware device).
- Carefully write down each word in the exact order displayed.
- Tap "Backup Complete, Proceed to Verification".
- Reorder the words in the correct sequence during verification to confirm accuracy.
Once verified, your wallet is active. Navigate to the Discover tab at the bottom to explore decentralized applications (DApps) built on Binance Smart Chain.
🔐 Security Tip: Never take screenshots of your recovery phrase or store it in cloud services like email or notes apps.
Existing users can add additional wallets by tapping the top-left icon and selecting Add Wallet, then choosing either create or import.
How to Transfer Tokens Using Your Wallet
Transferring assets on BSC is fast and cost-effective thanks to low gas fees.
- From your wallet dashboard, select the token you wish to send.
- Tap the Transfer button located at the bottom left.
Choose your preferred method:
- Direct Transfer: Manually enter the recipient’s address.
- Address Book Transfer: Use saved addresses for frequent transactions.
- QR Code Scan: Quickly scan a QR code to auto-fill recipient details.
Transaction Settings
Before confirming:
- Double-check the recipient address and amount.
- Select a network fee (gas fee): Low, Medium, or High—depending on urgency.
- Optionally, use Advanced Options to include a message (as text or hex data) with your transaction.
Transactions are irreversible once confirmed, so always verify details thoroughly.

How to Import an Existing Wallet
If you already have a BSC-compatible wallet, importing it into TP Wallet is simple.
- On startup, choose "I have a wallet", then select Binance Smart Chain.
Import using one of these methods:
- Recovery Phrase (12/24 words)
- Private Key
Ensure no one is watching your screen during import. After successful authentication, your balance and transaction history will sync automatically.
For multi-wallet users: Tap the top-left menu > Add Wallet > Select chain > Import via phrase or key.
This flexibility makes TP Wallet ideal for managing multiple identities or portfolios across different chains.
How to Withdraw Crypto to Your BSC Wallet
Let’s say you’re withdrawing BNB from Binance Exchange to your TP Wallet using the BEP20 (BSC) network.
- Log in to your Binance account.
- Go to Wallet > Spot Account.
- Click Withdraw, search for BNB, and click continue.
- In the network selection dropdown, choose BEP20 (BSC) — this is critical.
- Paste your TP Wallet’s BSC-compatible address.
- Enter the amount and confirm withdrawal after double-checking all fields.
⚠️ Warning: Always use BEP20 for BSC deposits. Using BEP2 (Binance Chain) may result in lost funds if not supported by your wallet.
It usually takes just 1–3 minutes for funds to appear in your TP Wallet.
Understanding Binance Chain vs. Binance Smart Chain
A common point of confusion among users is the difference between Binance Chain (BC) and Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
- Binance Chain, launched in April 2019, focuses on high-speed trading and native token issuance (like BEP2 tokens).
- Binance Smart Chain, introduced later in 2020, enables smart contracts and DeFi applications—similar to Ethereum but with lower fees and faster blocks.
Despite being separate blockchains, they run in parallel and support cross-chain interoperability through the BNB Bridge. The native token, BNB, serves both networks:
- As BNB-BEP2 on Binance Chain
- As BNB-BEP20 on Binance Smart Chain
In TP Wallet:
- Selecting "Binance Chain" lets you manage BEP2 assets.
- Choosing "Binance Smart Chain" gives access to BEP20 tokens and DApps like PancakeSwap, Venus, or BakerySwap.
Understanding this distinction prevents errors during transfers and unlocks full access to DeFi opportunities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I use the same recovery phrase for multiple chains?
Yes. A single 12-word recovery phrase can generate wallets across multiple chains—including Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, and others—because they use standardized derivation paths.
Q2: What happens if I lose my recovery phrase?
Without it, you cannot recover your wallet or assets. There is no central authority to reset access. Always back up securely and redundantly (e.g., metal backup).
Q3: Why isn’t my balance showing after deposit?
Ensure you selected the correct network (e.g., BEP20). If sent via another network (like ERC20 or BEP2), check cross-chain bridges or contact support—but recovery isn't guaranteed.
Q4: Is TP Wallet safe?
TP Wallet is non-custodial—meaning only you control private keys. However, security depends on user behavior: avoid phishing sites, never share keys, and keep software updated.
Q5: Can I stake BNB in TP Wallet?
Yes. Through integrated DApps under the Discover tab, you can stake or participate in liquidity pools directly within the app ecosystem.
Q6: Do I need BNB for transactions on BSC?
Yes. All transactions require gas paid in BNB (BEP20). Keep a small amount in your wallet to cover future fees.
With this guide, you now have everything needed to securely download, create, transfer, and manage assets on Binance Smart Chain using TP Wallet. As DeFi continues to grow, mastering these fundamentals empowers you to take full control of your financial future.
