In this guide, you will learn how to use the MetaMask extension on Google Chrome to send and receive tokens, and interact with the Cronos network.
First, you will need to connect your MetaMask wallet to the Cronos network:
Click the "My Account" button in the top right corner. Then select "Networks" in the settings menu.
Click "Add Network":
Name: Cronos
New RPC URL:https://evm.cronos.org;
Chain ID: 25
Symbol:CRO
Block explorer URL:https://explorer.cronos.org/
After saving the network configuration, we should be able to see the token in your address.
Alternatively, We can export the private keys by using the unsafe-export-eth-key command with cronosd. For example:
It will show your private key and you can copy it for the next step. Click the "My Account" button at the top right corner again. Then, select "Import Account":
Paste your private key string from the previous step and click "Import".
Once it has been connected, you should see your token balance and you can then begin performing transactions using your MetaMask wallet!
Please note that the address format in Cronos is in there form of bech32 crc... , we can use cronosd debug addr to convert an address between hex and bech32. For example:
Remarks: You will need to add 0x at the beginning when using the Ethereum HEX address shown as above. For example: Address (hex): 2F743F55AC49A446484988505244941DEDA1B60A implies that 0x2F743F55AC49A446484988505244941DEDA1B60A will be the address in Ethereum.
If you come across any issue with your MetaMask account or if you have used your imported account to perform transactions in the legacy testnet, you can reset it by using the Reset Account function.
Simply go to Setting/Advance and click Reset Account:
