If you are a developer or a user of blockchain applications, you are probably familiar with Metamask. It’s a popular wallet that allows you to interact with Ethereum and other blockchain networks. One of the key features of Metamask is the ability to switch between different networks, such as the Ethereum mainnet, testnets, and other custom networks. In this tutorial, we will focus on adding the Mumbai Testnet to your Metamask wallet.
The Mumbai Testnet is a test network specifically designed for the Polygon (previously Matic) blockchain. It allows developers to test their applications and smart contracts without using real funds. Adding the Mumbai Testnet to your Metamask wallet will give you access to a wide range of testing tools and resources.
To add the Mumbai Testnet to your Metamask wallet, you first need to open your wallet and make sure you are on the Ethereum mainnet. Then, click on the network selection dropdown and choose “Custom RPC”. This will open the network settings page.
In the network settings page, you need to enter the following details:
- Network Name: Mumbai Testnet
- New RPC URL: https://rpc-mumbai.maticvigil.com/
- Chain ID: 80001
- Symbol: MATIC
- Block Explorer URL: https://explorer-mumbai.maticvigil.com/
Once you have entered these details, click on “Save” to add the Mumbai Testnet to your Metamask wallet. You should now see the Mumbai Testnet in the network selection dropdown. You can switch to the Mumbai Testnet by selecting it from the dropdown.
Now that you have successfully added the Mumbai Testnet to your Metamask wallet, you can start testing your applications and smart contracts on the Polygon blockchain. Remember, the Mumbai Testnet uses test tokens, so you don’t need to worry about using real funds. Happy testing!
