Configure Wallets

This guide explains how to set up and connect your MetaMask wallet to the Artela EVM++ chain. Follow these steps to access and manage your assets on the chain.

Step 1: Install MetaMask​

  1. Download MetaMask

  2. Create or Import a Wallet

    • If you are new to MetaMask, create a wallet and securely store the recovery phrase.
    • If you already have a wallet, use the "Import Wallet" option to access it.

Step 2: Configure the Artela EVM++ Network​

To connect MetaMask to the Artela EVM++ chain, you need to manually add the network:

  1. Open MetaMask and click on the network selector (top-right corner).

  2. Select "Add Network" (or "Add Network Manually").

  3. Enter the following network details:

    • Network Name: Artela EVM++
    • RPC URL: https://rpc.artela.network
    • Chain ID: 11820 (Note that the chain ID of the artela EVM++ chain is the middle part of the chain ID in the configured cosmos format, such as 11820 of artroll_11820-1)
    • Currency Symbol: ART
    • Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.artela.network

  4. Save the network configuration.

MetaMask will switch to the Artela EVM++ network automatically.

Step 3: Fund Your Wallet​

  1. Acquire ART Tokens

    • If you are testing, use the Artela faucet to obtain test ART tokens.
    • If on the mainnet, acquire ART tokens from supported exchanges or other sources.

  2. Transfer Tokens

    • Share your wallet address with the sender.
    • Use Artela's explorer to verify token transfers.

Step 4: Verify Wallet Connection​

  1. Open MetaMask and ensure the selected network is Artela EVM++.
  2. Check your wallet balance for ART tokens.
  3. Use Artela-compatible decentralized applications (DApps) to confirm the connection.

Troubleshooting​

  • RPC Errors: Double-check the RPC URL and network details.
  • No ART Tokens: Ensure your wallet is funded or access the faucet for test tokens.
  • Connection Issues: Restart MetaMask or your browser and try again.
