Here's the official guide from Metamask on [How to create an additional account in your wallet](https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015289452-How-to-create-an-additional-account-in-your-wallet), if you don't already have one you'd like to use with Taraxa. ## Adding Custom Networks in Metamask Most ETH-compatible wallets allow you to add a "custom network". As long as that network is ETH-compatible - which Taraxa is - everything just works. You have two options to add Taraxa as a custom network into Metamask: adding it [via Chainlist](https://chainlist.org/chain/841), or doing it manually yourself. ## ## Add Taraxa to Metamask: via Chainlist The first way to get add the Taraxa network onto Metamask is via [Chainlist](https://chainlist.wtf/). We highly recommend that you reference [Metamask's Chainlist Documentation](https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058992772). Here's a step-by-step guide for adding Taraxa to Metamask via Chainlist, * Go to [Chainlist](https://chainlist.wtf/) * Click on "Connect Wallet" on the upper-right corner

* Choose "Metamask" in the pop-up

* Once Metamask is connected, your wallet address will show up on the upper right corner

* Next, search for "Taraxa" in the search bar, and you should be able to see Taraxa's Mainnet and Testnet networks in the search results

* Click on "Add Chain" for the network you wish to join, for example, the Taraxa Mainnet

* You'll see a Metamask pop-up, here's where you can confirm the [Taraxa network's connection details](/taraxa-network/wallet/taraxas-network-connection-details.md) are correct, and then click on "Approve"

* Next, Metamask will ask if you'd like to switch to the new network

* Finally, when you open the Metamask browser plugin, you should be able to see "Taraxa Mainnet" at the top, and you're done!

## ## Add Taraxa to Metamask: via Custom Networks You also have the option to simply add the Taraxa network into Metamask manually. The end result is exactly the same. We highly recommend that you reference [Metamask's Custom Network Documentation](https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043227612-How-to-add-a-custom-network-RPC#h_01G63GGJ83DGDRCS2ZWXM37CV5).

* A browser tab will pop out and show Metamask's Add a Network settings, choose "Add a network manually" at the bottom

* Here you'll see a brief form for you fill in details of Taraxa's network

* You can reference the connection details in the [Taraxa's network connection details](/taraxa-network/wallet/taraxas-network-connection-details.md) page, here is a screenshot for connecting to the Taraxa's mainnet network, once you finished entering the connection details just click on "Save"
