Resetting Botanix Testnet in MetaMask

Were you one of the early adopters and tried the Botanix Testnet in the previous version? Make sure that you delete the Botanix Testnet in your wallet and that you add it again using our . If you don't do this, you might experience some issues.

Install an EVM wallet

The Botanix EVM is fully equivalent with Ethereum. Because of that, it works with all EVM wallets right out of the box, such as MetaMask. (If you're not familiar with the identity manager, wallet, and web3 passport that is MetaMask, ).

Wallets for testnet

Not all EVM wallets support testnets. For our testnet, we recommend the use of MetaMask or Rabby. Another option is to use Brave Wallet but make sure that Brave Wallet is set as your default wallet in that case.

Connect to the testnet

There are two different ways you can connect to the testnet.

Automatically

If you want to automatically connect to the Botanix testnet, simply navigate to our and we will guide you through the process.

Manually

To add the Botanix Testnet manually to your wallet, use the following information:

Network Name: Botanix Testnet
New RPC URL: https://node.botanixlabs.dev
Chain ID: 3636
Currency Symbol: BTC
Block Explorer URL: https://testnet.botanixscan.io/ 

(Optional) Install bitcoin wallet

Compatible with Mutinynet

As we run our testnet on the Mutinynet version of signet, you will need a wallet that is compatible with the network.

These instructions have been made by one of our Botanist Ambassadors, CyrilS.

You don't really need a bitcoin wallet to try out our testnet but in case you would like to get the full experience, you can follow these guidelines to install a wallet that is compatible with Mutinynet.

  1. Click on the hamburger menu, choose "Change Network" and "Add a network"

All you need to interact with Botanix is to download MetaMask, which you can .
