# Wallet Setup for Arbitrum Compatibility

Before you can use Arbitrum, you need to add the network to your wallet. There are two methods: using Chainlist (automatic) or adding the network manually.

***

## Method 1: Using Chainlist (Recommended)

[Chainlist](https://chainlist.org/) is the easiest way to add networks to MetaMask.

1. Go to [chainlist.org](https://chainlist.org/)
2. Click **Connect Wallet** and approve the connection in your wallet
3. Search for **Arbitrum One** in the search bar
4. Click **Add to MetaMask** next to Arbitrum One
5. Approve the network addition in your wallet popup
6. Click **Switch network** when prompted to switch to Arbitrum One

Your wallet is now connected to Arbitrum One.

***

## Method 2: Manual Configuration

If you prefer to add the network manually:

1. Open MetaMask and click the network dropdown at the top
2. Click **Add Network** at the bottom
3. The **Add a Network** page will open — enter the following details:

| Field              | Value                          |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------ |
| Network Name       | Arbitrum One                   |
| New RPC URL        | `https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc` |
| Chain ID           | `42161`                        |
| Currency Symbol    | ETH                            |
| Block Explorer URL | `https://arbiscan.io`          |

4. Click **Save** to add the network
