How to Add Goerli to MetaMask

Adding Goerli to your MetaMask wallet is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. Goerli Testnet is an Ethereum test network that allows developers and users to experiment with Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps) in a safe and cost-effective environment. By adding Goerli to your MetaMask wallet, you can easily explore the world of dApps without incurring significant costs.

Here is a 4-step guide to get you started:

  1. Connect your MetaMask Wallet to the ChainList website.
  2. Select the 'Include Testnets' checkbox.
  3. Search for "Goerli" in the 'Search Networks' tab.
  4. Find the Goerli network you want to connect to and click 'Add to MetaMask'. It will be automatically added to your wallet.

What is Goerli?

Goerli Testnet is an Ethereum test network that allows developers and users to experiment with Ethereum-based decentralized applications in a safe and cost-effective environment. It uses a different set of Ether than the main Ethereum network, so developers can experiment with dApps without incurring significant costs

Goerli is a widely used testnet for EVM-based Layer 1 and Layer 2's with METIS, Arbitrum, Optimism, Optimism Bedrock, Coinbase Base and many other chains using it for their testing environment.  The network supports all Ethereum-based development, making it the perfect playground for developers and users alike.
