# Getting Started

### Getting Started with Green Chain 🪴

🔗 Connect Your Wallet

To begin using Green Chain, the first step is to connect your Web3 wallet. This allows\
you to interact with the platform, make investments, and manage your tokens.

We recommend using MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any other wallet compatible with\
BNB blockchain.

1. Visit Green Chain\
   Go to <https://greenchain.io>.
2. Click Connect Wallet\
   In the top-right corner of the page, you’ll see the Connect Wallet button. Click\
   on it to begin the connection process.
3. Approve the Connection\
   A pop-up will appear in your wallet asking for permission to connect. Approve the\
   connection, and your wallet will be securely linked to the Green Chain platform.
