How to Add Zeta Chain to MetaMask

Zeta Chain is a decentralized Layer 1 public blockchain that enables cross-chain communication between different Layer 1 blockchains. This guide will show you how to add the Zeta Chain network to your MetaMask wallet.

Step 1: Install MetaMask

Download and install MetaMask extension to your preferred browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.)

Step 2: Create a MetaMask Account

If you haven't already created a MetaMask account, follow the on-screen prompts to create one.

Step 3: Add Zeta Chain Network

1. Click on the "Network" dropdown menu in the top right corner of your MetaMask interface.
2. Select "Add Network" from the menu.

3. Enter the following details:

   • Network Name: Zeta Chain
   • New RPC URL: https://evm.zetachain.com
   • Chain ID: 360
   • Currency Symbol: ZETA
   • Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.zetachain.com/
4. Click "Save".

Step 4: Confirm Network Addition

You should now see "Zeta Chain" listed in the Network dropdown menu.

Step 5: Get Test ZETA Tokens (Optional)

To test the functionality of the Zeta Chain network, you can get test ZETA tokens from their faucet: https://faucet.zetachain.com/

Step 6: Transfer Test ZETA Tokens

Once you have test ZETA tokens, you can transfer them to your MetaMask wallet by using the Zeta Explorer: https://explorer.zetachain.com/.

Step 7: Use Zeta Chain Applications

You can now use your MetaMask wallet to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) built on the Zeta Chain network. Examples of dApps include:

• ZetaSwap: A cross-chain DEX
• ZetaBridge: A cross-chain bridge

Additional Notes:

• Zeta Chain is still in its early stages of development, and the network address may change in the future.
