Can I Add Plasma to MetaMask?

Yes, Plasma is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain explicitly built for stablecoins, with native support for USDT transfers and other payment-focused features.

By entering the Plasma RPC settings in MetaMask, you can connect your wallet and access the network. Once added, MetaMask lets you send USDT with zero gas fees, use custom gas tokens, and interact with stablecoin-focused apps at high speed and low cost.

How to Connect Plasma to MetaMask

The simplest and most reliable way to connect Plasma to MetaMask is through ChainList, a verified directory of EVM networks. 

Using ChainList ensures the Plasma RPC details are imported automatically, reducing the chance of errors or malicious endpoints when setting up manually.

Steps to Add Plasma via ChainList:

1. Open ChainList: Go to the official ChainList website and connect your MetaMask wallet.
2. Search Plasma: Type “Plasma” into the search bar.
3. Add Network: Click Add to MetaMask next to Plasma.
4. Approve Connection: Confirm the request in MetaMask to finish setup.

Plasma Mainnet RPC and Chain ID

If you’d rather set up Plasma in MetaMask manually instead of using ChainList, enter the following verified details:

• Network Name: Plasma Mainnet Beta
• RPC URL: https://rpc.plasma.to
• Chain ID: 9745
• Currency Symbol: XPL
• Block Explorer URL: https://plasmascan.to/

Always verify these settings against Plasma’s official mainnet documentation before adding them to MetaMask to ensure you’re connecting securely to the correct network.

Plasma Testnet RPC and Chain ID

For developers or users testing Plasma before mainnet deployment, add the Testnet to MetaMask with these verified settings:

• Network Name: Plasma Testnet
• RPC URL: https://testnet-rpc.plasma.to
• Chain ID: 9746
• Currency Symbol: XPL
• Block Explorer URL: https://testnet.plasmascan.to/

Once connected, you can deploy and test smart contracts, interact with dApps, and simulate stablecoin transactions in a safe environment. You can always double-check the Plasma testnet docs to see if there are any changes.

What is Plasma Chain?

Plasma is a Layer 1 blockchain optimized for stablecoins, offering zero-fee USDT transfers, custom gas tokens, and confidential payments at the protocol level. Built on Reth, it is fully EVM-compatible, allowing developers to deploy contracts and use existing Ethereum tooling without modification.

Its consensus, PlasmaBFT, is a pipelined Fast HotStuff variant that delivers high throughput and finality within seconds. With a native Bitcoin bridge and deep stablecoin liquidity at launch, Plasma provides a specialized infrastructure for global payments and programmable finance.

Final Thoughts

Adding Plasma to MetaMask lets you transact in USDT without gas costs, experiment with custom gas tokens, and test applications on a secure network. 

Use ChainList for quick setup or manual RPC for direct control, and always verify details against official sources to ensure safe connectivity.
