At the moment, the cost of gas on the Ethereum (ETH) network is prohibitively expensive, making it difficult for shareholders to engage in the DeFi and NFT markets. Aurora was created to address the aforementioned issue; this article will explain how to connect the Aurora network to the MetaMask wallet.
There are three ways to incorporate Aurora (ETH) into MetaMask.
- How to add Aurora with MetaMask.
- How to add Aurora to MetaMask using a Chainlist.
- How to add Aurora to MetaMask Mobile Applications.
