How to add Celo to MetaMask

Our first IDO on the Celo network is upon us - ImpactMarket. So let’s not waste any time. To participate, you’ll need to add Celo to your MetaMask.

Here’s a quick and simple step-by-step tutorial on how to add the Celo network on MetaMask:

1- Download MetaMask from their official website.
They have a browser extension that works on Chrome, Firefox, Brave and Edge, and a mobile iOS and Android app.

2- Create a wallet by following the instructions.
Once you get to the backup seed phrase, make sure to write it down on a piece of paper rather than storing it on your computer or phone.

3- Congratulations!
