Wallet Setup for Avalanche Compatibility

While Metamask is a widely used wallet and the one we suggest for this guide, you are free to choose other wallets. Throughout this tutorial, we will proceed with the assumption that you are using Metamask, as it is a common choice. However, setting up any wallet will likely follow a similar process.

The simplest method to integrate Avalanche into your wallet is via Chainlist. You can accomplish this without any manual input by following these steps:

1. Click ‘Connect Wallet’ and, when prompted, select 'Approve' from your wallet.

2. Search for and select 'Avalanche', then click 'Add to Metamask'.

3. Approve the subsequent notification from your wallet.

4. In the popup that follows, choose 'Switch network'.

5. You are now ready to utilize the Avalanche network.

Alternatively, if you prefer not to use Chainlist, you can manually add Avalanche to your wallet. Follow these instructions:

• Open Metamask and access the network dropdown menu.

• Click 'Add Network' when prompted.

• Enter the following details on the 'Add a network' page:

  • Network name: Avalanche (C-Chain)

  • RPC URL: https://api.avax.network/ext/bc/C/rpc

  • Chain ID: 43114

  • Currency symbol: AVAX

  • Block Explorer URL: Snowtrace

  After entering the details, click 'Save'.

• Your wallet is now connected to the Avalanche network.
