# Connect to MetaMask

📍**Open MetaMask**\
Launch the MetaMask extension in your browser and unlock your wallet using your password.

📍**Access Network Settings**\
Click on the **network dropdown** at the top of MetaMask (it might show "Ethereum Mainnet" or a previously selected network).\
Then select **“Add network”** or scroll down and click **“Add a network manually”**.

📍**Enter Network Details**\
You’ll now see a form to fill in your custom network details. Enter the following (replace with your network-specific values):

1. **Network Name**: Any name (e.g., `CogitusdemoNetwork`)
2. **RPC URL**: `https://rpc-cogitusdemonetwork.zeeve.net/SIp4Xce0n12yTrBPxA/ext/bc/h49dwEVWNSoUmpwtFtfBJVrtKN4Y6wFhAE2rXNZeWYoFRYQHJ/rpc`
3. **Chain ID**: `98761`
4. **Currency Symbol**: `AT` (or your native token symbol)
5. **Block Explorer URL**: `https://explorer-cogitusdemonetwork.zeeve.net`

📍**Save the Network**\
After entering all the details, click the **“Save”** button. MetaMask will automatically switch to your newly added Avalanche L1 network.

📍**Verify Connection**\
Check the network name in the dropdown to ensure it’s selected. You can now view balances, send tokens, and interact with dApp deployed on your Avalanche L1 network.
