How to Send XDC to MetaMask

Step 1: Create a MetaMask Account

• Visit the official MetaMask website and click "Download."
• Select the appropriate browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and install it.
• Open the MetaMask extension and click "Create a Wallet."
• Follow the prompts to create a password and seed phrase.
• Store your seed phrase safely, as it's the only way to recover your account if you forget your password.

Step 2: Add the XDC Network to MetaMask

• Open the MetaMask extension and click on the network name at the top of the interface (default: Ethereum Mainnet).
• Scroll down and click "Add Network."

• Enter the following details:

  • Network Name: XinFin Mainnet
  • New RPC URL: https://rpc.xinfin.network
  • Chain ID: 50
  • Symbol: XDC
  • Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.xinfin.network

Step 3: Get the XDC Contract Address

• Open the XDC website (https://xinfin.network).
• Click on the "Developers" tab and select "Contracts."
• Copy the contract address from the "XDC Token Contract" section.

Step 4: Send XDC to Your MetaMask Address

• Acquire XDC from an exchange or another XDC wallet.
• Open your XDC sending wallet.

• Select the "Withdraw" or "Send" option and enter the following details:

  • Recipient Address: Your MetaMask XDC address (you can find this in the MetaMask account details)
  • Amount: Specify the amount of XDC you wish to send
  • Network: Select the XinFin Network
  • Contract Address: Paste the XDC contract address copied earlier

Step 5: Confirm and Process the Transaction

• Review the transaction details carefully to ensure the recipient address and amount are correct.
• Click on "Confirm" or "Send" to initiate the transaction.
• The transaction may take several confirmations to complete, depending on the network traffic.

Step 6: Verify the XDC in Your MetaMask Account

• Once the transaction is complete, the XDC should appear in your MetaMask wallet.
• To check your XDC balance, switch to the XinFin Network in MetaMask and check the balance under the "Assets" tab.

Step 7: Troubleshoot Potential Issues

• If the XDC is not appearing in your MetaMask account after completing the steps, check the following:

  • Ensure the correct contract address was used.
  • Verify that the XinFin Network is selected in MetaMask.
  • Confirm that the transaction was successful on the XinFin explorer.
  • Contact the XDC support team for assistance if needed.
