Add the Rootstock Network to MetaMask
To interact with decentralized applications and assets on Rootstock, users need to connect their wallet to the Rootstock network. MetaMask does not include Rootstock by default, so it must be added manually or through supported integrations.
The Rootstock Explorer provides a quick way to add the network using the Add Rootstock to MetaMask feature.
Why Connect MetaMask to Rootstock?
Connecting MetaMask to Rootstock allows you to:
- Send and receive RBTC.
- Interact with smart contracts and applications.
- View transactions and balances on the Rootstock network.
What MetaMask Needs for a Network
MetaMask supports multiple blockchain networks including Rootstock. Each network requires specific configuration details, such as:
- Network name.
- RPC URL.
- Chain ID.
- Currency symbol (RBTC on Rootstock).
The Rootstock Explorer simplifies this process by automatically providing these details when adding the network.
