MetaMask Setup for Energy Web Chain

In this section we describe the process to connect to the Energy Web Chain mainnet and the Volta testnet using the MetaMask browser extension.

MetaMask is a browser extension and a mobile app that handles blockchain account management and helps users securely interact with a decentralized application. 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.

Connect MetaMask to the Energy Web Chain

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

Option 1: Automatic configurator To configure MetaMask to connect to the Energy Web blockchain or to Volta, the fastest way to do that is using the Energy Web MetaMask configuration toolbox or Chainlist.
