Moonriver (MOVR) can be added on MetaMask with the “Add network” option. Often the first port of call for new cryptocurrency users, MetaMask securely delivers EVM-connected blockchain networks to user service. In order to create a new network on the wallet, it is necessary to have the chain ID and some URL information. Some blockchain networks have buttons on their websites that are integrated with the wallet. When these buttons are clicked, a network can be added to the wallet automatically. If this option is not available, it is possible to add a network manually.
Metamask has attracted attention due to its easy installation and usability for almost any device and browser. Users can add support for over 50 different blockchain mainnets and testnets. On the other hand, MetaMask only supports EVM based entities. To interact with non-EVM chains such as Solana, Terra, Waves or Near, you need to obtain a separate local wallet.
