How to Add Astar to MetaMask

As noted, the Astar Network can be conveniently added to your MetaMask Wallet as it is a compatible network built using the Solidity programming language. We recommend using the Chainlist App to add the network to your wallet, as it provides verified Chain ID and RPC endpoints to ensure a secure connection.

To get started, simply follow these three steps:

  1. Go to ChainList and connect your MetaMask Wallet.
  2. Look for 'Astar Network' in the search bar at the top of the page.
  3. Tap 'Add to MetaMask' and the verified Astar RPC information will be automatically added to your extension.

What is Astar Network?

Astar Network is a Layer 1 blockchain that has a growing development community that is mainly based in Japan. The network provides infrastructure for building decentralized applications with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) programming language with in-built interoperability messaging and cross-chain messaging.

Astar is designed to provide developers with increased scalability, greater transaction throughput (TPS), faster finality and lower latency compared to other Layer 1 blockchains. You can find more information about Astar on their website.

Bottom Line

Adding Astar Network to your MetaMask Wallet is simple and secure with the help of the ChainList App. Astar Network is a Layer 1 blockchain based in Japan with a growing development community, providing fast and scalable solutions for decentralized applications.

The three-step process outlined in the guide, which involves using the ChainList App, ensures a secure connection to the verified blockchain information.
