Symblox Guide for PC

Friendly reminder:

  1. It is recommended that users use Velas DeFi Wallet, which also supports Ethereum addresses. MetaMask wallet does not currently support Velas addresses.
  2. The MetaMask wallet does not currently support Android operating system, and Velas DeFi wallet does not currently support desktop version.
  3. The UX for mobile version is similar between MetaMask and Velas Defi Wallet, however, the PC guide is strictly for MetaMask.

Step 2: Click “Connect wallet” on the upper right-hand corner, then select “MetaMask” and click “Next”.

After connecting, click on the fox icon in the upper right-hand corner. The default network is “Main Ethereum Network”, click on the drop-down list and choose “Custom RPC”.

Input the following settings for Velas Mainnet.
