A Comprehensive Beginner’s Guide on How to Add Fantom to MetaMask

Posted on July 21, 2023

MetaMask is undoubtedly the world’s most popular wallet.

In this guide, we will teach you how to add the Fantom blockchain to MetaMask in order to explore its ecosystem. Please keep reading.

As mentioned before, MetaMask is now a multichain wallet. Fantom is one of the many blockchains it supports. This network is powered by its native token FTM and employs the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.

How to Add the Fantom Network to MetaMask

Please follow the steps below to add Fantom to the MetaMask wallet.

Step 1: Download and Install MetaMask

To add Fantom to MetaMask, you need to download and install the wallet first. You can download MetaMask’s mobile app or browser extension. In this article, however, you will focus only on the browser extension, which can be added to several browsers, including Brave, Edge, Opera, Firefox, and Chrome.

Note that there are multiple scam websites pretending to offer Metamask. Therefore, you should only download it from the wallet’s official platform, metamask.io. Once you visit the site, click the “Download” button, then select the browser you would like to add the wallet and click “Add to Browser.” That’s it; MetaMask is successfully downloaded.

When you open MetaMask, it will ask whether you have an existing wallet or want to create a new one. We will teach you how to create a wallet in this article.

Step 2: Create a New wallet

After clicking the “Create New Wallet” button, MetaMask will request you to create a password. And once you confirm it, a seed phrase will be displayed on the next page. It is wise to note it down because you will use it to access the wallet in case you cannot remember your password.

Click the “Next” button and then input the seed phrase. After doing this, MetaMask automatically connects to the Ethereum network.

Step 3: Add Fantom Network

Only Ethereum is available on MetaMask. Other networks need to be added. To add the Fantom blockchain, go to the network drop-down menu and click the “Add Network” button, which will take you to another page where you’ll fill in the following details: In the “Network Name” box, input Fantom; in “New RPC URL,” enter https://rpc.ftm.tools, in “Chain ID” write 250, in “symbol” type FTM, and in “Explorer” key in https://ftmscan.com. Now click “Add” to complete the process.

Pro tip: You can add Fantom to MetaMask through ftmscam.com. Here is how to do it: On the website, scroll to the bottom-right side of the homepage, and you will see the “Add Fantom Network to MetaMask” button. Click on it, then approve the activity. That’s it. You have added Fantom to your MetaMask wallet.

How to Use Fantom on Metamask

With the Fantom network already added to MetaMask, you can start exploring its features, which include collecting NFTs, receiving and sending FTM tokens, as well as interacting with DApps built on this blockchain.

But how do you import FTM Tokens to MetaMask? Well, this is done manually. Here is how to go about it:

Step 1: Go to ftmscan.com to find FTM’s smart contract, then copy it.

Step 2: Go back to MetaMask and click the “Import Tokens” button.

Step 3: Input the “FTM” smart contract address.

Step 4: Click the “Add Customer Token” button and then “Import Tokens.”

After doing this, the token symbol should now appear on the wallet.

FTM is used to pay gas fees for all transactions taking place on the Fantom blockchain. It is also worth mentioning that FTM exists only in 3 formats, including as a Fantom-based token, BEP-2 token, and ERC-20 token.

Conclusion

As we have seen, the process of adding networks to the Metamask wallet is super simple. The big task involves keeping your crypto assets safe. That said, always store your seed phrase in a secure place and never share it.
