How to Setup Your MetaMask Wallet

This guide walks you through installing MetaMask and adding the NVNM Chain network.

Note

MetaMask is the recommended EVM wallet for NVNM Chain as it correctly renders balances for both the NVNM L2 and MANTRA Chain L1.

Installation

Visit https://metamask.io/.
Hit Get MetaMask in the menu bar.
Click Chrome. You will be directed to the Chrome Web Store.
Click Add to Chrome.
On the pop up, click Add extension.
After adding the MetaMask extension, MetaMask will automatically open. You can also make sure it's easily accessible in your toolbar by clicking the jigsaw icon in the top-right of the screen, and hitting the pin icon.

Warning

Only install MetaMask from the official site or your browser's extension store. Avoid third-party download links.

Open the MetaMask extension and choose one of the following:

Create a new wallet — Follow the prompts to set a password and save your Secret Recovery Phrase.
Import an existing wallet — Enter your 12- or 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase.

Warning

Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase with anyone. MetaMask support will never ask for it.
