How to add Blast network to MetaMask

You can add the Blast network to MetaMask in two ways: through an automatic connection or manual configuration. Both options are fairly simple and can be done in no time.

Go to MetaMask settings

To start, access the settings in your MetaMask wallet:

Select ‘Networks’ in the menu on the left side.

Now click on ‘Add Network’ in the upper part of the window.

Enter the following details:

Network Name: BlastMainnet

New RPC URL: https://rpc.blast.network

Chain ID: 1

Currency Symbol (optional): BLAST

Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.blast.network/

Once you've entered all the details correctly, click on ‘Save’ to add the Blast network to MetaMask.

After saving the settings, Blast will be integrated into your MetaMask wallet, and you'll be able to interact with the network.

You can toggle between networks using the dropdown menu at the top of MetaMask.

How to add Blast tokens to MetaMask

Adding Blast tokens to your wallet allows you to see and use individual assets based on the Blast network. Here's how to do it step-by-step.

Finding Blast token contract address

Every token on the Blast network has a unique contract address. To locate it:

Open Blast Explorer and navigate to the specific token you want to add.

On the token page, scroll down to the 'Token Contract' section.

Copy the token's contract address. It's usually a 42-character alphanumeric code, beginning with '0x'.

Always make sure you're using trusted websites to avoid scams or incorrect addresses.

Importing token information into MetaMask

After finding the token's contract address, you can add it to MetaMask:

Open your MetaMask and click on the 'Tokens' tab in the lower part of the wallet.

Select 'Add Token' from the menu.

Choose 'Custom Token' from the available options.

Paste the token contract address that you copied from Blast Explorer into the corresponding field.

Select the Blast network from the dropdown menu.

The remaining token details, such as the symbol and decimals, will be filled in automatically.

Finally, click on 'Next' and then 'Add Token' to confirm and integrate the token into your MetaMask wallet.

The token will now appear in your MetaMask wallet. This process can be repeated if you want to add any other Blast-based token to MetaMask. Just make sure that you find the right token on Blast Explorer and copy the token's contract address into MetaMask's "Token contract address" section.

The bottom line

As you can see, learning how to add Blast to MetaMask (or any other network really) is a pretty straightforward process. The same is then true for adding individual tokens to Blast.

Picking the right crypto wallet is an important step for every cryptocurrency investor and user. MetaMask is a software wallet, and although it's very convenient and versatile, it isn't the safest option.

If you choose to use a software wallet such as MetaMask, I'd recommend you combine it with a good hardware wallet. You can read our comprehensive overview of the hardware wallets if you'd like to learn more.
