If you want to add networks to MetaMask, accessing Chainlist is one of the easiest ways to do it.
-
Head to the Chainlist site at chainlist.wtf.
-
Firstly, you'll need to connect your wallet to the site. Select 'Connect wallet' in the top right to do so.
When successful, the address of our selected account will replace the 'Connect wallet' button:
-
Now use the search bar to find the network you want to connect to. Once you've found it, click the button 'Add Chain'.
-
MetaMask itself will now spring into action, and will present you with an approval menu. Click 'Approve' to proceed.
-
This will be followed by a menu asking you whether you want to switch to the new network immediately. Confirm or reject this depending on your needs; either way, the new network will be added.
-
Head to the Chainlist site using the MetaMask in-app browser.
When you're in the browser, you can either tap the address in the menu bar at the top and navigate to https://chainlist.wtf/ or hit the magnifying glass in the toolbar at the bottom and search from there.
-
On Chainlist, you need to connect your wallet. Your currently selected account will be the one that's automatically connected, though you can easily swap by going back to your wallet view, changing the account, and heading back to Chainlist in the browser to connect.
When your wallet is connected, the selected account address will be displayed where the 'Connect wallet' button was.
-
Next, find the network you want to connect to by searching. When you find the network, hit 'Add Chain':
-
Now you'll just need to approve the addition of the network.
There will then be a subsequent option to confirm that you want to immediately switch to the new network. This step is optional, and you can easily change networks at any time regardless.
For details on how to add custom networks by inputting their details manually, see our article on the topic.
Please note we do not maintain the network information on Chainlist. Make sure the network details are accurate before adding them.
