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.org

  • Chain ID: 56

  • Currency symbol: BNB

  • Block explorer: https://bscscan.com

BSC Testnet

  • Network name: BNB Smart Chain Testnet

  • RPC URL: https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.binance.org:8545

  • Chain ID: 97

  • Currency symbol: tBNB

  • Block explorer: https://testnet.bscscan.com

Tip: in MetaMask, click Add networkAdd 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

  1. Open the Paragon app.

  2. Click Connect and choose your wallet.

  3. 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)

  1. Go to Farms.

  2. Find the pool that matches your LP tokens.

  3. Approve the farm, then Stake your LP.

  4. 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
