Advanced Tips After You Log-In | MetaMask® 🧠✨
You’ve installed MetaMask, secured your recovery phrase, and logged in. Awesome! 🎉
But what comes after you hit Log-In | MetaMask®? Let’s go beyond the basics and explore how to level up your wallet experience — from networks to gas fees and more. ⚙️
1. Add Custom Networks 🌐
By default, MetaMask runs on the Ethereum Mainnet. But it also supports:
🔹 Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
🔹 Polygon (MATIC)
🔹 Avalanche
🔹 Arbitrum & Optimism (Layer 2 solutions)
To add a network:
- Click your account icon > Settings > Networks
- Tap “Add Network”
- Enter the RPC URL and Chain ID (available from official network docs)
- Save and switch anytime!
Now you can access faster, cheaper blockchains.
2. Explore Advanced Gas Settings ⛽
When you log in to MetaMask and make a transaction, you’ll see gas options:
🟢 Low: Cheaper but slower
🟡 Medium: Balanced
🔴 High: Fast but costly
Click “Advanced Options” to set your own gas price (GWEI) and gas limit — ideal when you want more control, especially during congestion.
📌 TIP: Use etherscan.io/gastracker to check real-time gas fees.
3. Use Multiple Wallets in One App 🔐
Need a separate wallet for NFTs or testing?
- Click your profile icon
- Select “Create Account” or “Import Account”
- Instantly switch between addresses with ease
Each address has its own balance and transaction history.
4. Connect to DApps Safely 🛡️
After logging in, you’ll often see a “Connect Wallet” prompt. Before you approve:
✅ Check the site’s URL
✅ Review the connection permissions
✅ Don’t sign suspicious transactions
Use sites like OpenSea, Uniswap, Zapper, and Snapshot — all MetaMask-friendly.
🔗 Disconnect from sites you no longer use: Go to MetaMask > Connected Sites > Remove.
5. Back Up Like a Pro 📋
You can always view your recovery phrase by going to:
Settings > Security & Privacy > Reveal Secret Recovery Phrase
🔒 Write it down. Store it securely.
🔒 Consider using a hardware wallet with MetaMask for extra protection.
