Interacting with Meter Mainnet Using MetaMask
Meter mainnet now supports two transactions (tx) formats:
- 1.The native Meter tx: which is more expansive and supports staking, on-chain auctions, validator transactions, and future multiple chains/shards. This tx format is used by the Meter mainnet wallet which is a PC/Mac application downloadable from the Meter website or Github.
- 2.Ethereum tx: This is designed for backward compatibility with existing Ethereum dApps and ecosystem including wallets like Metamask.
Metamask communicates with the Meter mainnet through an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) emulation layer. The user will have to configure a custom RPC network inside MetaMask. Here is how to do so.
For the browser plugin version of Metamask:
The easiest way to configure Metamask for your browser extension is to select Meter Network from "Support Networks" in the Meter Passport Wallet.
If you are configuring manually, there following are the details:
- 1.Select the network drop-down menu, and then click on the 'Add Network' at the bottom.
2. Enter the following information for the Custom Network and click "Save":
If you are using the mobile app version of Metamask, new Network settings can be added through the Network dropdown --> 'Add Network' --> 'Custom Network'
