Adding the Autonomys RPC to MetaMask

This guide will help you set up a MetaMask wallet (any EVM-compatible wallet works) and connect it to the Autonomys EVM development network.

1. Download the MetaMask extension for your browser from the MetaMask website after selecting your preferred language (in the top-right corner), and reading and agreeing to MetaMask’s Terms of Use.

2. Click on Create a new wallet. Read and agree to (or skip) the note on gathering and collecting anonymized usage data (it does not affect wallet creation).

3. Set a secure password that’s difficult to guess. Type it twice before proceeding to the next step. MetaMask automatically assesses the strength of your password.

Note: Your password should include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.

4. Watch a video to learn more about your Secret Recovery Phrase before proceeding to the next step.

5. Write down your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase.

Note: The recovery phrase for the wallet in this guide has been deleted.

6. Confirm that you’ve written down the Secret Recovery Phrase by filling in the missing words.

7. You’ve now created a wallet! Connect to the Autonomys EVM by clicking on the Ethereum Mainnet logo and selecting Add network.

8. In the MetaMask Networks settings, click on Add a network manually.

9. Input the values below to connect to the Autonomys RPC:

Network Name: Autonomys EVM
New RPC URL: https://auto-evm-0.taurus.subspace.network/ws
Chain ID: 490000
Currency Symbol: tAI3

You have now successfully set up a MetaMask wallet and connected it to the Auto EVM! To deploy a smart contract, you first need to get a small amount of tAI3 tokens in your wallet. Refer to the faucet section of the guide to learn more about getting testnet tokens.
