Creating an Optimism wallet
Because Optimism seamlessly integrates with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), incorporating an Optimism account into your current Ethereum wallet(s) is a straightforward process. To enable Optimism, follow these straightforward steps:
- Visit the Chainlist platform through your web browser.
- Establish a secure connection between your MetaMask wallet and Chainlist by logging in and granting the necessary permissions.
- Once the connection is established, navigate to the platform's interface and locate the "Optimism" (ID:10) option.
- Click on the "Optimism" option to initiate the integration process.
- After successful integration, return to your MetaMask wallet.
- In the MetaMask interface, you'll notice a new feature that allows you to toggle between the Ethereum and Optimism networks. Locate and click on the "Networks" button within MetaMask.
- Use this "Networks" button to easily switch between the Ethereum and Optimism networks based on your specific requirements and preferences.
