How to add Arbitrum to your wallet

Arbitrum works with MetaMask and other EVM wallets — you just add the network once. Here is how to add Arbitrum One, fund it with ETH, and start using it.

The easy way

Visit any Arbitrum dApp (like our Arbitrum token creator) and click "Switch network" — MetaMask will offer to add Arbitrum automatically.

Adding Arbitrum manually

In MetaMask, open Networks → Add network and enter:

• Network name: Arbitrum One
• RPC URL: https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc
• Chain ID: 42161
• Currency symbol: ETH
• Explorer: https://arbiscan.io

Getting ETH on Arbitrum

You need ETH on Arbitrum for fees — bridge it from Ethereum or withdraw directly from a supporting exchange.

You are ready

Once added and funded, trade on Camelot/Uniswap or create a token. Your MetaMask address is the same across Ethereum, Base and Arbitrum.

Why add Arbitrum to your wallet?

Adding Arbitrum to your wallet lets you hold Arbitrum assets, send and receive on the network, and connect to its apps. Once Arbitrum is set up in your wallet, you can use Arbitrum DEXs and DeFi, manage tokens, and — when you are ready — create your own token on Arbitrum. A wallet that supports Arbitrum is the gateway to everything the network offers. If wallets are new to you, start with crypto wallets explained.

What you can do once Arbitrum is in your wallet

With Arbitrum added, your wallet becomes your passport to the Arbitrum ecosystem: trade tokens on Arbitrum DEXs, explore DeFi, hold and manage assets, and deploy your own token. That last step is the most empowering — the same Arbitrum wallet that holds your assets is what you use to create a token on Arbitrum, no code required and full ownership kept in your hands.
