Could you please elaborate on the process of adding a custom network to MetaMask? I'm a bit new to this and would appreciate a step-by-step guide. Specifically, I'm interested in understanding how to input the necessary details like the network name, RPC URL, chain ID, and so on. Are there any special considerations or common issues I should be aware of when attempting this? I've heard of network congestion being an issue with certain networks, so would this apply to adding custom networks as well? Additionally, how can I ensure the safety and security of my transactions on these custom networks?

If the network you wish to add is already present in the list, simply click on the "Add" button next to it. However, if it's not listed, proceed to the next step.

To add a custom network, you'll need to fill out a form with the required details such as the network name, chain ID, RPC URL, and other relevant information. Make sure to obtain these details from the official source of the network you're trying to add.

After opening MetaMask, locate the section indicating the currently active Ethereum network. This is typically displayed near the top of the interface.

Click on the option to "Add Network." This will trigger a new tab to open within MetaMask, displaying a list of popular and commonly used networks.
