Network Configurations

JavaScript (ethers.js v6)

const network = {
  name: 'GOAT Testnet',
  chainId: 48816,
  network: 'testnet',
  rpc: 'https://rpc.testnet3.goat.network',
  explorer: 'https://explorer.testnet3.goat.network'
}
 
 
#### Python (web3.py)
```python
network_config = {
    "name": "GOAT Testnet",
    "chain_id": 48816,
    "rpc_url": "https://rpc.testnet3.goat.network",
    "explorer_url": "https://explorer.testnet3.goat.network"
}

Wallet Connection (MetaMask)

{
  "chainId": "0xBEB0", // 48816 in hexadecimal
  "chainName": "GOAT Testnet",
  "nativeCurrency": {
    "name": "Bitcoin",
    "symbol": "BTC",
    "decimals": 18
  },
  "rpcUrls": ["https://rpc.testnet3.goat.network"],
  "blockExplorerUrls": ["https://explorer.testnet3.goat.network"]
}

Adding Network to MetaMask

You can add the GOAT Testnet to MetaMask programmatically using the following code:

async function addGoatTestnet() {
  try {
    await window.ethereum.request({
      method: 'wallet_addEthereumChain',
      params: [{
        chainId: '0xBEB0',
        chainName: 'GOAT Testnet',
        nativeCurrency: {
          name: 'Bitcoin',
          symbol: 'BTC',
          decimals: 18
        },
        rpcUrls: ['https://rpc.testnet3.goat.network'],
        blockExplorerUrls: ['https://explorer.testnet3.goat.network']
      }]
    });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Failed to add network:', error);
  }
}

Usage Example with ethers.js

import { ethers } from 'ethers';
 
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.testnet3.goat.network');
 
async function getBlockNumber() {
  const blockNumber = await provider.getBlockNumber();
  console.log('Current block number:', blockNumber);
}
