# Add Real Testnet to your wallet (/docs/chain/wallet-setup)



## Before you start [#before-you-start]

Have your wallet installed and unlocked. Use the [Real Testnet network settings](/docs/chain/networks#real-testnet): network name **Real Testnet**, chain ID **117711**, and native currency symbol **ASSET**. Copy the complete RPC URL, including its blockchain-specific path, and the explorer URL from that page.

Adding a network configures a connection. It does not move funds, create an investor identity, or grant access to a permissioned asset. You do not need to provide a recovery phrase or private key to add these settings.

## MetaMask [#metamask]

### Browser extension [#browser-extension]

1. Open the menu and choose **Networks**.
2. Select **Add a custom network**.
3. Enter the network name, RPC URL, chain ID, currency symbol, and block explorer URL from the network settings.
4. Save the network and select **Real Testnet** in the network selector.

### Mobile [#mobile]

Open the network selector from the Tokens tab, switch to **Custom**, and choose **Add a custom network**. Enter the same settings, save, and select Real Testnet.

Menu placement can vary by release. See MetaMask's official [add-network instructions](https://support.metamask.io/configure/networks/how-to-add-a-custom-network-rpc).

## Rabby [#rabby]

### Browser extension [#browser-extension-1]

1. Open Rabby's settings or **More** menu and find the custom-network/testnet settings.
2. Choose the option to add a network.
3. Enter the Real Testnet RPC URL and check that the detected chain ID is **117711**. Complete the name, currency symbol, and explorer fields with the supplied settings.
4. Save the network. When connecting to a REAL testnet application, confirm that the connection or transaction request uses this custom network.

Custom network settings are separate from replacing the RPC for a network Rabby already supports. Rabby's extension implements this flow in its [custom-network screen](https://github.com/RabbyHub/Rabby/tree/develop/src/ui/views/CustomTestnet). These instructions cover the extension; they do not assume an identical mobile interface.

## Core [#core]

### Browser extension [#browser-extension-2]

1. Open **Settings**, then **Networks**.
2. Select the **+** button to add a custom network.
3. Enter the Real Testnet RPC details and the other network settings.
4. Select **Save**. Check that Real Testnet is the active network.

Follow Core's official [custom-network instructions](https://support.core.app/en/articles/6425528-core-extension-how-do-i-add-custom-networks) if your interface differs. This procedure covers Core extension.

## Check the connection [#check-the-connection]

Open the [testnet faucet](https://testnet.faucet.real.finance) to request test ASSET for transaction fees. Use the same wallet address you intend to transact from. After the faucet transaction completes, inspect the address in the [block explorer](https://testnet.explorer.real.finance).

For asset workflows, continue to the [investor portal](https://testnet.rwa.real.finance) or [issuer portal](https://testnet.tokenize.real.finance). Connecting a wallet is the first step; each portal has its own account and authorization flow.

## If the network will not connect [#if-the-network-will-not-connect]

* **Chain ID mismatch:** use the complete Real Testnet RPC URL and decimal chain ID 117711. Do not substitute Avalanche C-Chain settings.
* **Network already exists:** inspect the existing entry and correct its RPC rather than adding conflicting copies.
* **Zero native balance:** confirm the selected network and wallet address, then check the faucet transaction in the explorer.
* **An asset token is missing:** adding the network does not automatically import every token or establish issuer admission. Check the asset wallet and token address in the portal or explorer.
