How to Add VeChain to MetaMask

Adding VeChain to MetaMask involves several steps since MetaMask does not natively support VeChain. You need to use a custom RPC configuration to add VeChain to MetaMask. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Install MetaMask: If you haven’t already, install the MetaMask extension on your browser or the mobile app on your device.

2. Open MetaMask: Launch the MetaMask extension or app and unlock your wallet.

3. Add a Custom Network:

   • Click on the network dropdown at the top of the MetaMask window (it usually shows "Ethereum Mainnet" by default).
   • Select "Add Network" or "Custom RPC" depending on your MetaMask version.

4. Enter VeChain Network Details:

   • Network Name: VeChain Mainnet
   • New RPC URL: https://vechain-node-url (this is an example; use the specific RPC URL for the VeChain network)
   • Chain ID: 74 (for VeChain Mainnet)
   • Currency Symbol: VET
   • Block Explorer URL: https://explore.vechain.org (or use the specific block explorer URL for VeChain)

5. Save the Network: After entering the details, click "Save" or "Add" to finish adding the VeChain network to MetaMask.

6. Switch to VeChain Network: Now, you can switch to the VeChain network from the network dropdown to interact with VeChain-based assets.

7. Add VeChain Tokens:

   • Go to the "Assets" tab in MetaMask.
   • Click "Import Tokens".
   • Enter the token contract address and other details if required.

8. Confirm and Manage Your Tokens: After adding VeChain tokens, you should be able to see and manage them directly from your MetaMask wallet.

By following these steps, you can successfully integrate VeChain with MetaMask and manage your VeChain assets seamlessly.
