Add Avalanche C-Chain to MetaMask

This article was updated in January 2024 to reflect updated ways to add Avalanche C-Chain to MetaMask by the CoinGecko team.

Unlike other cross-chain projects, Avalanche runs two chains: Avalanche X-chain and Avalanche C-chain. The Avalanche X-chain is only used to receive and send Avalanche tokens (AVAX) and cannot be used on Web3 platforms or added to Web3 wallets like MetaMask. The X-chain can only be accessed from the Avalanche wallet.

The Avalanche C-chain can be added on MetaMask used across DeFi and other decentralized application platforms.

You can add Avalanche to MetaMask directly from a preset list of popular custom networks.
