Using MetaMask with the Electroneum Smart Chain

Welcome to the comprehensive guide on integrating MetaMask with the Electroneum Smart Chain (ETN), an EVM-compatible blockchain. This guide will walk you through each step to ensure a smooth and secure experience.


Getting Started

Before diving in, ensure you have MetaMask installed. If not, download it from the . Also, make sure that you understand .


Adding the Electroneum Smart Chain

You can navigate to , search for ETN, and pull in the information for the Electroneum Smart Chain (mainnet or testnet) that way, or if you prefer, you can add our network manually you can:

  1. Open MetaMask

    • Launch the MetaMask extension or app and unlock it.

  2. Network Selection

    • Navigate to the network dropdown at the top and select "Custom RPC" or "Add Network".

  3. Network Details

    • Fill in the Electroneum Smart Chain details as follows:

      Field
      Value

      Network Name

      Electroneum Mainnet

      New RPC URL

      Chain ID

      52014

      Currency Symbol

      ETN

      Block Explorer

    • Click "Save". The network should now be selected.

  4. If you are interested in the Electroneum Smart Chain Testnet, add the testnet network to Metamask:

    Field
    Value

    Network Name

    Electroneum Testnet

    New RPC URL

    Chain ID

    5201420

    Currency Symbol

    ETN

    Block Explorer


Importing Your Wallet

  1. Import Access

    • Click your profile icon and select "Import Account".

  3. Finalize Import

    • Complete the process to see the account in MetaMask.


Managing Transactions

Checking Transactions

  • Select the account and view the "Activity" tab for a history of transactions. Use the Electroneum Smart Chain block explorer for detailed insights.

Sending Transactions

  • Use the "Send" button, enter recipient details, amount, and adjust the gas fee. Confirm to send and track under "Activity".


Tips and Best Practices

  • Security: Prioritize the security of your MetaMask wallet. Consider hardware wallets for significant assets.

  • Gas Fees: Understand the dynamics of gas fees on the Electroneum Smart Chain to manage costs effectively.

  • Smart Contracts: Engage with audited and reputable smart contracts to mitigate risks.


This guide aims to equip you with the knowledge to navigate the Electroneum Smart Chain using MetaMask effectively. For further assistance, refer to the MetaMask Support and Electroneum community resources.


Incorporating this structure into your GitBook will help users navigate the content easily and make the learning process more engaging. Adding screenshots, diagrams, or even short video tutorials for each step can significantly enhance the user experience.
