Due to their mechanism and way of operating, wallets are the closest thing to electronic banking of any bank.
These wallets are the interface between the user and the record in the Blockchain, in fact, the wallets do not store your cryptocurrencies, they are only the means to organize and review the balance in quantity and in dollars.
The most common wallets are Software wallets otherwise called Hot Wallets and through them, you can store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies without intermediaries.
There is another type of wallet built based on Hardware, they are referred to as Cold Wallets, in this article we will only focus on Software wallets.
After this short introduction, let's look at the different wallets. There are two types according to their use, web3 or browser extension and mobile for use on smartphones.
Let's take a closer look at Metamask, as it is one of the most used by users. The data to add the Rootstock network and Money On Chain tokens are the same for any wallet that requires it.
The most well-known and used wallet by crypto users, there is no doubt about its great presence and that users have adopted it well despite some details that have generated some controversy.
By default the token is not configured, so we must add it manually, although particularly in this wallet the Rootstock network is not added either.
As a first step we will select the drop-down list, marked by the arrow.
Then choose Add network.
Select Add network manually.
In Configuration, it will ask for a series of values that are listed below.
NETWORK NAME
Rootstock, although the name is up to each user, the ideal is to call it Rootstock.
NEW RPC URL
STRING IDENTIFIER
30
CURRENCY SYMBOL
RBTC
BLOCK EXPLORER URL
With this data you have already configured the Rootstock network and now the next step is to add the token. These next steps are similar to the ones we performed when adding the token to the Liquality wallet.
Here is a video explaining How to add the Rootstock (RSK) network to Metamask 2023.
Although we have added Rootstock as a network, the only token that loads automatically is RBTC because it is the native one.
We return to the list of networks and you will be able to see Rootstock's, you just have to select it.
Select Import tokens.
Here it already asks for exactly the same data that also appears below. When finished, select Add Custom Token and it will be added to the Rootstock token list.

This value is indistinct so you can associate it with the name that seems best to you, I would simply name it MOC.
TOKEN SYMBOL
MOC, DOC, or BPRO depending on the one you are importing.
DECIMALS
