Get Started (BNB Chain)
Welcome! This guide walks you from zero → first trade → liquidity → farming → rebates on BNB Smart Chain (BSC). It’s written for both Mainnet and Testnet (we’re running public testnet)
1) Install a wallet
MetaMask (Chrome/Brave/Firefox), Rabby, or any WalletConnect wallet works.
Create / import your wallet and back up your seed phrase securely.
2) Add BSC networks to your wallet
You can use either Mainnet or Testnet.
BSC Mainnet
Network name: BNB Smart Chain
RPC URL:
https://bsc-dataseed.binance.orgChain ID:
56Currency symbol:
BNBBlock explorer:
https://bscscan.com
BSC Testnet
Network name: BNB Smart Chain Testnet
RPC URL:
https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.binance.org:8545Chain ID:
97Currency symbol:
tBNBBlock explorer:
https://testnet.bscscan.com
Tip: in MetaMask, click Add network → Add a network manually → paste the values above.
3) Fund your wallet
Mainnet: send a little BNB to your wallet for gas.
Testnet: get tBNB from a public faucet (for gas). If you’re testing swaps with stablecoins, mint/get test tokens from common testnet sources.
You only need a very small amount of (t)BNB to cover gas.
4) Connect to Paragon
Open the Paragon app.
Click Connect and choose your wallet.
Ensure your wallet network matches the app network (Mainnet or Testnet).

5. Make Your First Swap
Go to Swap:
select tokens
enter amount
approve (first time only)
confirm swap


What you’ll see (on Paragon)
Paragon Shield (MEV & privacy) toggle. Keep it on for best execution.
Intents & Batching (testnet): your swap is treated as an intent. Our solver batches trades and tries to beat your
minOut.“You saved …” banner after the trade if we found surplus. You can claim the cashback instantly.
6. Provide Liquidity
Add liquidity to earn fees:
choose a pair (e.g. XPGN / USDT)
deposit both tokens
receive LP tokens

LP Earnings
swap fees
Flow surplus (if your pool is used)
7) Farm (boost rewards)
Go to Farms.
Find the pool that matches your LP tokens.
Approve the farm, then Stake your LP.
You’ll earn $XPGN on top of LP fees, plus LP Flow earnings if your pool is utilized.
You can Unstake any time. Standard AMM risks (like impermanent loss) apply.

8. Stake XPGN (Governance)
Deposit XPGN to participate in:
governance
fee distribution
protocol rewards

9. Rebates & Earnings
You can earn from multiple sources:
Trader
cashback from better execution
LP
flow earnings
swap fees
Locker
protocol fee distribution
These are surplus-based and independent of emissions. If there’s no surplus on a trade, there’s simply nothing to claim for that trade.
10. Advanced Features
Intent-based execution
batching & solver routing
governance-driven emissions
index tokens (P10)
11. Testnet Notes
lower liquidity
higher slippage may be needed
features actively tested
12. Common Fixes
Allowance error → approve again
Wrong network → switch to BNB Chain
Slippage error → increase slippage slightly
13. Safety
non-custodial protocol
always verify token addresses
start small
14. Next Steps
Try:
a swap + cashback
LP + Flow earnings
farming XPGN
staking for governance
