Add Ethereum Network Manually in MetaMask

This section provides a tutorial example on how to add an Ethereum network manually in MetaMask.

If an Ethereum network is not predefined in MetaMask, you can add it manually as described below:

1. Gather access information for the Ethereum network. For example:

Network name: Holesky Testnet
Network RPC URL: https://ethereum-holesky.publicnode.com
Network/Chain ID: 17000 
Currency symbol: ETH 
Block explorer URL: https://holesky.etherscan.io

2. Open MetaMask extension and click on the network icon at the top-left corner. I see a list of predefined networks.

3. Click the "Add network" button. I see MetaMask running in the full page mode with more predefined networks.

4. Click "Add a network manually" at the end of the list. I see an input form.

5. Enter the network access information in the form:

Network name: Holesky Testnet
Network RPC URL: https://ethereum-holesky.publicnode.com
Network/Chain ID: 17000 
Currency symbol: ETH 
Block explorer URL: https://holesky.etherscan.io

6. Click the "Save" button to finish adding the network.
