Introduction

MetaMask is a popular cryptocurrency wallet that supports multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and Avalanche. However, it does not natively support NEO. To interact with NEO-based applications, you need to add the NEO Mainnet to your MetaMask wallet.

• Create a new wallet or import an existing one.

2. Configure Network Settings

6. Add Ontology (ONT)

• Ensure that you have entered the correct network details.
• Check if your firewall or antivirus software is blocking the connection to the RPC endpoint.
