Add BOT Chain to MetaMask so you can see your balance, sign transactions and use dApps on mainnet and testnet. Other EVM wallets work the same way.

​
What you’ll do

  • Add BOT Chain testnet by hand (Chainlist doesn’t list it correctly).
  • Add BOT Chain mainnet through Chainlist or by hand.

​
Prerequisites

BOT Chain also has its own wallet, BO Wallet. See BOT Chain’s quick guide for details.

​
Network values

The faucet and BOTScan show the testnet token as BOT. You can use either tBOT or BOT as the symbol in your wallet; tBOT makes it easier to tell the networks apart.

​
Add testnet by hand

1

Open the network settings

In MetaMask, open the network menu at the top left and choose Add a custom network.
MetaMask Manage networks list with the Add a custom network button at the bottom
2

Enter the testnet values

Fill in each field from the Testnet tab above, then click Save.
MetaMask network form named BOT Chain Testnet with chain ID 968, RPC rpc.bohr.life, symbol tBOT and explorer scan.bohr.life, with MetaMask warnings suggesting the name Datagram and the symbol DGRAM
MetaMask shows orange warnings on this form. They’re expected; see the note below.
3

Switch to the network

Choose BOT Chain Testnet from the network menu. Your balance shows in tBOT.
Chain ID 968 is registered to a different network, Datagram, on Chainlist and in the public chain registry. Don’t add testnet through Chainlist.Because of that, MetaMask warns that the network name may not match chain 968 and suggests Datagram. It also warns that the currency symbol doesn’t match and suggests DGRAM. Ignore both suggestions and keep BOT Chain Testnet and tBOT. The warnings are safe to dismiss only if the RPC URL is exactly https://rpc.bohr.life and the explorer is https://scan.bohr.life. If either is different, stop and check the Networks page.

​
Add mainnet

  1. Open BOT Chain Mainnet on Chainlist.
  2. Check that the chain ID is 677 and the explorer is scan.botchain.ai.
  3. Click Connect Wallet and approve the connection in MetaMask. The button then changes to Add to MetaMask. Click it and approve the request.
Chainlist page for BOT Chain Mainnet showing chain ID 677, currency BOT, explorer scan.botchain.ai and the RPC list
Mainnet uses real BOT. Practise on testnet first, and never paste a seed phrase or private key into a website. See Security.

​
Verify it worked

  1. Switch to BOT Chain Testnet in MetaMask.
  2. Copy your address and open https://scan.bohr.life/address/YOUR_ADDRESS in your browser.
  3. The balance on BOTScan matches the balance in MetaMask.
If your balance is zero, claim tokens from the faucet.

​
Troubleshooting

The chain ID field must match the RPC URL. Use 968 with https://rpc.bohr.life and 677 with https://rpc.botchain.ai. Check for a trailing space or a typo in the URL.
For chain 968 this is expected, because the public registry lists a different network under that ID. Continue only if the RPC URL is exactly https://rpc.bohr.life.
Check that MetaMask is on BOT Chain Testnet, not mainnet or another network. Then check the address on BOTScan testnet. If BOTScan also shows 0, the claim didn’t go through; see Get testnet tokens.
