How to add Nova (SNT) to MetaMask

Nova Network is an open programable smart contract platform built for decentralized applications. It can be used to build fast, scalable, and low-cost Solidity compatible dApps, for both enterprise and retail uses.

In this guide, we walk you through the steps needed to add Nova network to MetaMask wallet.

What is Nova Network (SNT) & MetaMask?

Nova Network is an open-source programable smart contracts platform built for dApps and enterprise-level applications, in one highly scalable ecosystem. It is home to decentralized infrastructure and applications, built to scale global usage and adoption. It is compatible with Solidity, Ethereum, and other EVM networks, making it easy and quick for Ethereum developers to build, deploy, or fork from existing open-source infrastructure built on other networks. SNT is the native token of Nova Network. It is a low supply and scarce asset used to pay for usage fees, to secure our public ledgers, and as a means of exchange.

MetaMask on the other hand is one of the most widely-used Wallets. You can send, receive, and manage tokens and cryptocurrencies from Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Nova network and other blockchains. With MetaMask, you can store NFTs, crypto art, and other crypto collectibles. Its browser extension is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.

Step 1: Install MetaMask Extension on Chrome

This step is only for those who don't have MetaMask installed in their browser. For the purpose of this guide, we are using Chrome browser as an example but the principle steps are same when installing MetaMask in other browsers.

You can install the MetaMask using the official website or go directly to google chrome web store

Check the number of downloads to make ensure the legitimate MetaMask is being installed as there are many fake MetaMask wallets.

Click the Add to Chrome button & you should have your wallet installed.

Once you’ve installed, MetaMask will appear as an extension and can easily be accessed through “Settings” on Google Chrome where you can pin the wallet extension for ease of access.

Step 2: Login to MetaMask Wallet

If you are new to MetaMask, create a wallet after installing MetaMask which will require you to choose a password and store a recovery phrase (Make sure to store your recovery phrase in a safe place).

If you already have a wallet created then log in using your MetaMask password.

In order to log in, click on the MetaMask Chrome extension, enter your password, and click on “Unlock”.

Step 3: Add Nova network to MetaMask Wallet

Our final step is to set up the Nova network on MetaMask wallet after you're logged in. Open the MetaMask wallet on a new browser tab by simply clicking on the MetaMask logo on the top right extension area.

Click the three dots in the top-right and select the “Expand view”.

By clicking on “Expand view” you will be able to interact with your MetaMask wallet interface on a larger screen.

In order to add a new chain network or switch between different blockchain networks, you'll need to click on the network tab which by default will show "Ethereum Mainnet" on the top right-hand corner.

Click on Add Network in order to add Nova network to MetaMask Wallet.

Now you should be able to provide all the required Nova network details.

This includes the network name, new RPC URL, chain ID, currency symbol, and block explorer URL. Simply copy and paste the required chain info from below.
