# How To

### **How to Use COTI with MetaMask**

#### **Step 1: Install MetaMask**

* Download MetaMask from the official browser extension store or mobile app store.
* Create a new wallet or import an existing one.

#### **Step 2: Add the COTI Mainnet to MetaMask**

Open MetaMask → **Networks** → **Add a Custom Network**, then enter:

Network Name: COTI
\
RPC URL: <https://mainnet.coti.io/rpc>
\
Chain ID: 2632500
\
Currency Symbol: COTI
\
Block Explorer: <https://mainnet.cotiscan.io\\>
\
Save the network and switch to **COTI**. ([docs.coti.io](https://docs.coti.io/coti-documentation/networks/adding-the-coti-network-to-metamask?utm_source=openai))

#### **Step 3: (Optional) Use Chainlist**

You can also add the COTI network automatically using Chainlist:\

\
Search for “COTI” and click “Add to MetaMask.” ([coinmarketcap.com](https://coinmarketcap.com/academy/article/how-to-connect-metamask-to-almost-any-blockchain?utm_source=openai))

#### **Step 4: (Optional) COTI MetaMask Snap**

If you want enhanced COTI features inside MetaMask, you can install the official COTI Snap:\
