How to Add the Hyperledger Fabric Mainnet to MetaMask

MetaMask is a popular cryptocurrency wallet that can be used to store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies. It also supports connecting to various blockchains, including the Hyperledger Fabric mainnet. Adding the Hyperledger Fabric mainnet to MetaMask allows you to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) built on the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain.

Prerequisites

Before you can add the Hyperledger Fabric mainnet to MetaMask, you will need to have the following:

• A MetaMask wallet installed
• An RPC endpoint for the Hyperledger Fabric mainnet

2. Add the Hyperledger Fabric Mainnet RPC Endpoint

Once you have MetaMask installed, you need to add the Hyperledger Fabric mainnet RPC endpoint. To do this, click on the "Settings" tab in MetaMask and then select the "Networks" tab.

Click on the "Add Network" button and enter the following information:

• Network Name: Hyperledger Fabric Mainnet
• RPC URL: https://rpc.hyperledger.org
• Chain ID: 1
• Currency Symbol: FAB
• Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.hyperledger.org

3. Import the Hyperledger Fabric Mainnet CA Public Key

Enter the following information:

• RPC URL: https://rpc.hyperledger.org
• Chain ID: 1
• Currency Symbol: FAB
• Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.hyperledger.org
• CA Public Key: 0x... (replace this with the public key of the Hyperledger Fabric mainnet CA)

4. Add a New Account

Once you have imported the CA public key, you can add a new account to MetaMask. To do this, click on the "Account" tab in MetaMask and then click on the "Create Account" button.

5. Select the Hyperledger Fabric Mainnet
