When you try to add a new MetaMask network, you will need to enter some information. That includes:

💡 Network Name – You can select any name for the network. However, I encourage you to add a meaningful name, so that you can easily figure it out.

💡 New RPC Rule – This would be a URL, which will act as the entry point into the Blockchain.

💡 Chain ID – This is a unique ID number, which is provided by the Blockchain network that you interact with.

💡 Currency Symbol – This is an optional parameter. You can pick an appropriate symbol from the ticker.

💡 Block Explorer URL – This is also an optional parameter. It is a URL that you can use to access Block Explorer. If you wish to get detailed information related to transactions, you may think about using this feature.
