How to Connect W Chain to MetaMask Wallet (Step-by-Step Guide)

Whether you’re swapping tokens, adding liquidity, or just exploring the W Chain ecosystem, the first step is to connect your MetaMask wallet. This simple guide will walk you through everything you need to do — even if you’re a complete beginner.

What is MetaMask?

MetaMask is a popular crypto wallet and gateway to blockchain apps. It’s available as a browser extension and mobile app, and it lets you connect to Ethereum-compatible (EVM) blockchains — like W Chain.

What is W Chain?

W Chain is a next-gen Layer 1 blockchain focused on scalability, decentralization, and DeFi performance. If you’re planning to use dApps like W-Swap, you’ll need to first add W Chain to MetaMask.

How to Connect W Chain to MetaMask?

Step 1: Install MetaMask

If you don’t have MetaMask yet:

Go to https://metamask.io

Download and install the browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Brave) or mobile app.

Create a wallet or import an existing one using your seed phrase.

Always back up your seed phrase securely and never share it with anyone!

Step 2: Open MetaMask and Add Network

Open the MetaMask extension.

Click the network dropdown (at the top, usually it will say “Ethereum Mainnet”).

Click “Add a custom network”

Step 3: Enter W Chain Network Details

Use the following W Chain configuration (replace placeholders with actual details):
