Adding new networks to your Temple Wallet is a straightforward process that unlocks its full multichain potential. As a versatile multichain wallet, Temple Wallet seamlessly integrates access to the Tezos ecosystem alongside a growing number of EVM-compatible (Ethereum, Polygon, Etherlink, etc.) blockchains, providing a unified experience for managing your diverse crypto assets and interacting with decentralized applications (dApps).

By following this step-by-step guide, you've learned how to easily navigate the Menu, access Settings, manage your Networks, and utilize the Add network function within the Temple Wallet Extension. Whether you're quickly adding a popular EVM network like Celo using the convenient auto-fill feature based on the network name, or manually inputting the specific RPC URL, Chain ID, Symbol, and Block Explorer details for a less common or custom configuration, Temple Wallet makes network expansion intuitive.

Remembering to verify these crucial details before clicking Save ensures a correct and secure connection to your desired blockchain. Once successfully added, your custom network will appear clearly listed under the Custom Networks section, distinct from the default networks and ready for immediate interaction.

This capability is essential for users looking to bridge assets, participate in DeFi protocols, collect NFTs, or engage with dApps across various blockchain environments directly from their trusted Temple Wallet interface. Effectively managing your custom networks allows you to leverage Temple Wallet as your central hub for navigating both the Tezos landscape and the expansive world of EVM chains.
