Set up a wallet

To start using HotbitDEX on the Arbitrum network, you first need to set up a wallet. We recommend using MetaMask, a popular and user-friendly Web3 wallet that supports the Arbitrum network. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Install MetaMask

   If you don't already have MetaMask installed, you can download it from the official MetaMask website. MetaMask is available as a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge, as well as a mobile app for iOS and Android.

2. Create a New Wallet

   Once MetaMask is installed, open the extension or app and follow the instructions to create a new wallet:

   • Click on "Get Started."

   • Choose "Create a Wallet."

   • Set a strong password and click "Create."

   • Securely back up your Secret Recovery Phrase and store it in a safe place. This phrase is crucial for recovering your wallet if you lose access.

3. Add the Arbitrum Network

   To interact with HotbitDEX on Arbitrum, you need to add the Arbitrum network to MetaMask:

   • Open MetaMask and click on the network dropdown at the top, then select "Add Network."

   • Enter the following details:

     Network Name: Arbitrum One

     New RPC URL: https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc

     Chain ID: 42161

     Currency Symbol: ETH

     Block Explorer URL: https://arbiscan.io

   • Click "Save" to add the Arbitrum network.

4. Connect MetaMask to HotbitDEX

   Now that your MetaMask wallet is configured for Arbitrum, you can connect it to HotbitDEX:

   • Visit the HotbitDEX website.

   • Click on "Connect Wallet" and select MetaMask.

   • Approve the connection request in MetaMask.

   You are now ready to start trading on HotbitDEX using the Arbitrum network!
