New to Avalanche - Quick Start Guide

Adding Avalanche network to other wallets

How do I set up MetaMask on Avalanche?
How do I set up MetaMask on Avalanche?
Ava Labs provides a guide to connecting the crypto wallet MetaMask to the
Avalanche blockchain network and acquiring AVAX coins for use.
Written by Rocky Rock
Updated over a week ago

MetaMask is a widely used non-custodial Ethereum wallet (available at
https://metamask.io) that can be easily connected to the Avalanche blockchain
network.



Note: With Core extension and Core web, users can fully unlock Avalanche
functionality such as adding Subnets and other features when using the Core
suite of products.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ADDING AVALANCHE NETWORK TO THE METAMASK WALLET



1. Log in to MetaMask -> Click the Network drop-down -> Select Add network







2. A new window will open up, showing a list of predefined networks. From that
list, click on the Add button next to the Avalanche network.







3. When prompted, click Approve.









4. A pop-up window will display a message according to which the network was
added successfully while providing the option to switch to the Avalanche
network.







Note: Core —the secure crypto wallet designed by Ava Labs— comes preloaded with
a connection to the Avalanche network, which makes the following step
unnecessary. Get a better experience: Get Core today.



As additional info, the parameters of the Avalanche network are:

 * Network Name: Avalanche Network

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

 * ChainID: 43114

 * Symbol: AVAX

 * Explorer: https://snowtrace.io/ (Note: the video still uses the previous
   value; Please be assured that snowtrace.io is the correct value).

SEND AVAX TO THE METAMASK WALLET CONNECTED TO AVALANCHE

Now that you’ve set up MetaMask on Avalanche, you may wish to transfer some AVAX
to your brand-new hot wallet. Here’s how that process works:



If you have funds on the P- or X-Chain, you'll need to move them to the C-chain
before they can be sent to MetaMask. Please read our article on Cross Chain
Transfers for instructions on how to do so.



Once your funds are on the C-Chain, you can send the AVAX from your Avalanche
wallet to your MetaMask wallet.



1. Select "Send".







2. Select "C Contract" as the Source Chain.







3. Enter your MetaMask wallet address by copying and pasting it into the "To
Address" field on your Avalanche wallet.





4. Confirm, and finalize the transaction.
