I am attempting to create a polkadot.js wallet as per this forum post here [Subspace Wallet?](https://forum.autonomys.xyz/t/subspace-wallet/61)

I have created the wallet just fine, but when I go to the `...` menu, and click the dropdown for which chain to use I do not see Subspace Testnet as an option.

See Screenshot.

Am i missing something?

# Cause

This is a common occurrence with the Polkadot.js Wallet. It occurs because your extension metadata is out of date, so the extension doesnt know subspace testnet exists.

# Fix

- Make sure Polkadot.js extension is installed and ready to go.

1. Go to the Subspace/Polkadot Explorer here: [Polkadot/Substrate Portal](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fna.gemini-1b.subspace.network%2Fws#/explorer)

2. You will be prompted to allow the extension to connect, click `Yes, allow this application access`  

3. Click `Settings`  

4. Click `Metadata`  

5. Click `Update metadata`  

6. You will get a popup from the extension asking you to confirm click `Yes, do this metadata update`  

7. You will now see `Subspace Testnet` as an option on the “Allow use on any chain” dropdown.
