Are you new to Meter Network?

This step-by-step tutorial will help you navigate the Meter Network easily.

Do you have MetaMask installed to access the Meter Network? If no, follow the step 1. In addition to MetaMask, you can check the wallets currently supported on Meter Network on our ecosystem page.

Step 1: Setting up a MetaMask account

MetaMask by default has setup for Ethereum Network. Each blockchain is a different network setting within the wallets which is identified by the Chain ID, rpc URL (helps query blockchain data), the native gas token and the blockchain explorer.

Step 2: Setup Meter Network in MetaMask

As native gas token is specified during the Meter Network setup, MetaMask does not have information about any other tokens specific to the Network.

Since a network would typically support 100's of ERC20 tokens, users prefer to access tokens that they interact with by providing the ERC20 contract information. We recommend adding MTRG token contract to the wallet.

Step 3: Setup MTRG in MetaMask

Users would need MTR as the gas token to transact on Meter Network. If you do not have MTR but have MTRG, you can use gasless swap to swap some MTRG into MTR. Gasless swap also supports BNB and ETH tokens in addition to MTRG.

Meter Mainnet does not have a faucet.

Gasless Swap is available on Meter Web Wallet.

Step 4: Get MTR for gas

There — you are now all set to experience the blazingly fast Meter Mainnet.

Do not forget to check out our ecosystem page to see the host of decentralization applications deployed on Meter Network.

Some Additional Information

Transactions on Meter Network are incredibly cheap with a native transfer costing as low as 0.0021 MTR (~ 0.1 cent). The base gas price on Meter Network is 100 GWEI
