Connecting MetaMask to the Oasis Emerald Mainnet
Oasis Name Service, a detailed guide on how to connect your MetaMask to the Oasis Emerald Mainnet.
MetaMask can be downloaded on Chrome and Firefox, or on iOS and Android if you’re a mobile user. For the purposes of this tutorial, they’ll use the Firefox version, but the instructions will be more or less the same for every platform.
Firstly, you’ll want to head over to the MetaMask Download page. From there, select whichever platform you’re using, and follow the steps to install it on your device.
Next, follow along with the setup specified by the app. Go ahead and click Create a Wallet. Write down the backup seed phrase somewhere secret (preferably not on an Internet-connected device). Without this phrase, your funds can’t be recovered if your device is damaged or lost. Confirm that you’ve written them down on the next page.
Configuring the wallet
You might notice straight away that they’re still dealing with an Ethereum wallet. At best, this won’t work with Oasis Emerald Mainnet DApps.
Let’s change that. Click on the logo of your account at the top right. In the dropdown menu, click on Settings.
In the settings menu, click on ‘Networks’. In this menu, you will see a list of networks to which your MetaMask wallet is connected. Click on the ‘Add Networks’ button.
Now Enter the details of the Oasis Emerald Mainnet network. The following information must be entered: Network Name, New RPC URL, ChainID, Symbol and Block Explorer URL.
• Network Name: Emerald Mainnet
• New RPC Url: https://emerald.oasis.dev
• Chain ID: 42262
• Symbol: ROSE
• Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.emerald.oasis.dev/
Congratulations, you have successfully connected your MetaMask wallet to the Oasis Emerald Mainnet network!
