How to add KOY Network to Anchor
The KOY Network is designed with user-friendly interfaces, simplifying the experience by removing the complexities of key management. For users familiar with the Antelope protocol, the renowned Anchor Wallet by Greymass offers an effortless way to engage with both the KOY mainnet and testnets. Ensure you have the latest version of the Anchor Wallet installed on your desktop or iPhone. Please note, the Android version currently doesn't support adding new chains, but this feature for KOY Networks will be included in an upcoming update.
