  5. After adding Metamask to your browser, you can open your Metamask in the top right of your browser similar to any other browser extension.
  6. From here you can choose to either import a wallet, or create a new one. Metamask gives very explicit instructions on how to import or create a new wallet, so if you just follow the prompts you’ll have no issues.

     How do I add other chains to Metamask?

     How do I use dapps on mobile?
  • Simply click the three little bars at the top left of the app, and then select Browser. This Browser allows you to connect to websites that have a web3.0 connection capability through the Metamask app itself.
     What do I do if a transaction is stuck?
  • There are a few options: you can either wait to see if the transaction will go through, or, you can go to transaction history and trying clicking “speed up”, or, you can resend the transaction with the same nonce and higher gas.
     How do I resend a transaction with the same nonce?
  • Go to Settings in Metamask, then Advanced Settings, then Nonce Editing, and turn that function on. Once turned on, go back and repeat the exact same transaction that is stuck. However, before confirming, when you are prompted to enter the gas, go to advanced gas editing, you will be given an option to edit the gwei and the nonce. Set the gwei higher than the average market price, and set the nonce as the same nonce that is stuck. This should unstick your transaction easily.
