# Metamask
|
|
|
|
Connect your Metamask wallet with Ethermint. {synopsis}
|
|
|
|
## Adding a custom Network for Ethermint
|
|
|
|
Open the Metamask extension on your browser, you may have to log in to your Metamask account if you
|
|
are not already. Then click the top right circle and go to `Settings` > `Networks` > `Add
|
|
Network` and fill the form as shown below.
|
|
|
|
::: tip
|
|
You can also find the full `ChainID` form the `genesis.json` file. To get the
|
|
[EIP155](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-155.md) chain ID from the Cosmos
|
|
chain ID, check the [Chain ID](./../../basics/chain_id) documentation page.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is the list of fields that you can use to paste on Metamask:
|
|
|
|
- **Network Name**: Ethermint
|
|
<!-- TODO: add RPC URL -->
|
|
- **New RPC URL**: http://localhost:8545
|
|
- **Chain ID**: 9000
|
|
- **Currency Symbol (optional)**: PHOTON
|
|
- **Block Explorer URL (optional)**:
|
|
|
|
## Import Account to Metamask
|
|
|
|
Then close the settings, and go to `My Accounts` (top right circle) and select `Import Account`. You should see and image like the following one:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you can export your private key from the terminal using the following command. Again, make sure
|
|
to replace `mykey` with the name of the key that you want to export and use the correct `keyring-backend`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ethermintd keys unsafe-export-eth-key mykey --keyring-backend test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Go back to the browser and select the `Private Key` option. Then paste the private key exported from
|
|
the `unsafe-export-eth-key` command.
|
|
|
|
Your account balance should show up as `1 APHOTON` and do transfers as usual.
|
|
|
|
::: tip
|
|
If it takes some time to load the balance of the account, change the network to `Main Ethereum
|
|
Network` (or any other than `Localhost 8545` or `Ethermint`) and then switch back to `Ethermint`.
