Set up MetaMask to interact with Energy Web Chain

In this section, we'll walk through how to connect to the Energy Web blockchain, and the Volta testnet using the MetaMask browser extension.

PreviousInteracting with Smart Contracts in EW-DOSNextUsing the Ethereum Name Service

Last updated 3 years ago

is a browser extension and a mobile app that handles blockchain account management and helps users securely interact with a . It’s supported in Chrome, Brave, and Safari browsers, as well as it is available for Android and iOS devices. By default, you can connect to the Ethereum Mainnet or any of the Ethereum test network.

If you don’t have MetaMask installed install the extension first. Learn about here.

Connect MetaMask to the Energy Web blockchain

Prerequisite: Metamask plugin is installed in the browser; this section explains how to add the Energy Web blockchain to it.

Option1: Automatic configurator

To configure Metamask to connect to the Energy Web blockchain or to Volta, the fastest way to do that is using the or

Option2: Manual configuration

Manually configuring MetaMask to connect to the Energy Web mainnet

1. Click on the "Networks" dropdown at the top of your MetaMask interface and select "Custom RPC"

2. Add the new network using the following settings

Field

3. Save the settings and switch to the newly added network 'EWC'

Manually configuring MetaMask to connect to the Volta testnet

1. Click on the "Networks" dropdown at the top of your MetaMask interface and select "Custom RPC" 2. Add the new network using the following settings

3. Save the settings and switch to the newly added network 'Volta'

Manually configuring MetaMask to connect to the Consortia RPC

The Consortia RPC is an alternative to using the Energy Web Mainnet RPC.

1. Click on the "Networks" dropdown at the top of your MetaMask interface and select "Custom RPC"

2. Add the new network using the following settings
