Arbitrum is an EVM-compatible chain, meaning it can easily work with MetaMask, as well as most browser-based wallets. Click on the network drop-down menu, and select "Add Network" from the bottom. Add in the following details:

RPC: <https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc>

Chain ID: `42161`

Symbol: `ETH`

## Add the Ethereum Network to Metamask <a href="#changing-your-metamask-network" id="changing-your-metamask-network"></a>

Ethereum is already included as the default network in MetaMask, so you don’t need to add it manually. When you first install MetaMask, you’ll see Ethereum Mainnet as the pre-selected network at the top of the wallet. If you ever switch away, you can return to it by opening the network drop-down and selecting **Ethereum Mainnet**.

RPC: <https://eth.llamarpc.com>

Chain ID: `1`

Symbol: `ETH`

## Bridging to/from Arbitrum/BNB

The Radiant DAO recommends [Stargate Finance](https://stargate.finance/) due to its deep liquidity reserves and user interface. However, [Multichain](https://app.multichain.org/#/router), [Celer Bridge](https://cbridge.celer.network/#/transfer), and [Synapse Protocol](https://synapseprotocol.com/?inputCurrency=USDC\&outputCurrency=USDC\&outputChain=10) are excellent options.

## Acquiring $RDNT

The $RDNT token is widely available across numerous decentralized and centralized exchanges.&#x20;

* [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap)
* [1inch](https://app.1inch.io/)
* [Sushi](https://app.sushi.com/swap?chainId=42161)
* [DefiLlama](https://swap.defillama.com/)

Centralized exchanges:

* [Kucoin](https://www.kucoin.com/price/RDNT)
* [Huobi](https://www.huobi.com/en-us/exchange/rdnt_usdt/)
* [Bybit](https://www.bybit.com/en-US/trade/spot/RDNT/USDT)
* [MexC](https://www.mexc.com/exchange/RDNT_USDT?_from=search_spot_trade)
* [OKX](https://www.okx.com/trade-spot/rdnt-usdt)
* [Gate.io](https://www.gate.io/zh/trade/RDNT_USDT)

## Acquiring ETH

Because Arbitrum was designed as a Layer 2 to exist on top of the Ethereum Network (and uses ETH for its on-chain native token), almost all of the well-established DEXes support trading over Arbitrum. Some commonly-used options include:

* [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap)
* [1inch](https://app.1inch.io/)
* [Sushi](https://app.sushi.com/swap?chainId=42161)
* [DefiLlama](https://swap.defillama.com/)

## Acquiring BNB

Radiant dLPs on Binance Chain require pairing $RDNT with BNB coin. BNB was created as a utility token for discounted trading fees in 2017, but its uses have expanded to numerous applications, including payments for transaction fees. You may acquire BNB via:

* [Pancakeswap](https://pancakeswap.finance/)
* [Ellipsis](https://ellipsis.finance/)
* [1inch](https://app.1inch.io/)
* [DefiLlama](https://swap.defillama.com/)
