%2520(1).webp)
Summary: Hemi, a modular Layer-2 blockchain connecting Bitcoin and Ethereum, can easily be added to MetaMask via ChainList (Chain ID 43111) or manual RPC setup.
Its Ethereum-compatible Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM) runs standard Ethereum smart contracts and uniquely embeds a Bitcoin node, enabling Bitcoin-secured DeFi applications.
ChainList Overview
ChainList is the most trusted aggregator of EVM-based Layer 1 and 2 networks. It allows users to instantly connect their MetaMask to verified Chain and Network IDs, ensuring a safe connection.
Supported Networks
100+ Layer 1 and Layer 2 chains
Development Team
Built by the Defillama team
Compatible Wallets
MetaMask only
Can I Add Hemi to MetaMask?
Yes, Hemi Network can be added to MetaMask using custom RPC settings. It runs on the Ethereum-compatible Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM), enabling direct deployment of Ethereum smart contracts and access to Bitcoin-integrated DeFi apps.
After setup, you can use your MetaMask wallet to access Hemi dApps, trade Bitcoin and Ethereum assets, and leverage DeFi applications secured by Bitcoin-grade finality.
How to Add Hemi to MetaMask
The easiest way to add Hemi Network to MetaMask is through ChainList, the most trusted aggregator for EVM-compatible networks. The platform allows users to search for any blockchain and connect with verified RPCs at the click of a button.
Quick steps to get started via ChainList:
- Visit ChainList – Open ChainList and connect your MetaMask wallet.
- Find Hemi Network – Search "Hemi" in the provided search bar.
- Select Network – Click "Add to MetaMask" next to Hemi Network.
- Confirm Setup – Approve the prompts in MetaMask to complete the process.
Hemi RPC and Chain ID
To manually connect Hemi Network to MetaMask without using aggregators like ChainList, enter these details:
- Network Name: Hemi Mainnet
- RPC URL: https://rpc.hemi.network/rpc
- Chain ID: 43111
- Currency Symbol: ETH
- Block Explorer: https://explorer.hemi.xyz
Always verify current network details via Hemi’s official documentation.
About Hemi
Hemi is a modular Layer-2 blockchain designed for interoperability between Bitcoin and Ethereum, powered by its custom Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM), an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) environment embedded with a full Bitcoin node.
It leverages a unique Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus mechanism that achieves Bitcoin-level finality, enabling trustless asset transfers ("Tunnels") and secure Bitcoin-aware decentralized applications (hApps) without modifying Ethereum smart contracts.
Final Thoughts
Getting Hemi onto your MetaMask wallet is easy, whether you use ChainList or plug in RPC details manually. The integration blends Ethereum’s smart contract ease with Bitcoin-level security, offering something genuinely fresh in DeFi.
Just double-check official docs before diving in!
