Can I Add zkSync to MetaMask?

Yes, you can add zkSync Era, a ZK rollup layer 2 on Ethereum, to MetaMask. Just enter the zkSync network details under MetaMask's custom network settings, and you’re ready to go. This setup grants full access to dApps, smart contracts, and other EVM tools on zkSync Era, offering lower fees and high throughput with Ethereum’s L1 security.

How to Add zkSync to MetaMask

You can easily add zkSync Era to MetaMask using ChainList, a tool that provides verified network details for EVM-compatible chains like zkSync.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Visit ChainList: Go to the ChainList website and connect your MetaMask wallet.
2. Search for zkSync Era: In the search bar, type "zkSync Era."
3. Add the Network: Select zkSync Era from the results and click "Connect Wallet."
4. Complete Setup: Follow MetaMask’s prompts to confirm and add zkSync Era to your networks.

zkSync Era RPC and Chain ID

To manually add zkSync Era to MetaMask, use the network settings below. Be sure to verify details with the official zkSync documentation for accuracy:

• Network Name: zkSync Mainnet
• RPC URL: https://mainnet.era.zksync.io
• Chain ID: 324
• Currency Symbol: ETH
