What Is Flare Network?

Flare is a next-generation blockchain designed to bring secure, decentralized access to data from other chains and the internet. Its main focus is on interoperability—helping different blockchains communicate with each other—and providing developers with tools to build apps that can respond to real-world data.

One standout feature is that Flare is EVM-compatible. That means developers and users familiar with Ethereum can easily transition to Flare without learning a whole new system. It also supports smart contracts, allowing developers to create a wide range of decentralized apps (dApps), from DeFi platforms to NFT marketplaces.

Flare is especially appealing to users who want access to multiple ecosystems—like Ethereum and XRP—without needing to leave one network behind. With its data-oriented infrastructure, Flare aims to power dApps that are smarter and more connected than ever before.

How to Add Flare Network to MetaMask

To use Flare-based apps or send and receive FLR tokens, you first need to manually add the network to your MetaMask wallet. Here’s how to do it step by step:

1. Open MetaMask
   Make sure you’re logged into your MetaMask wallet through your browser extension or mobile app.
2. Click the Network Dropdown
   At the top of MetaMask, you’ll see the current network selected—usually it says “Ethereum Mainnet” by default. Click this dropdown.
3. Select “Add Network.”
   In the dropdown menu, click “Add Network”. Depending on your version of MetaMask, you might also see an option like “Add a network manually.”
4. Enter the Flare Network Details
   You’ll be prompted to fill in the network information. Enter the following: Mainnet settings (as of current data):
   • Network Name: Flare
   • New RPC URL: https://rpc.flare.network
   • Chain ID: 14
   • Currency Symbol: FLR
   • Block Explorer URL: https://flare-explorer.flare.network
   (Note: Always verify the latest details from the official Flare documentation before entering anything. Settings may change over time.)
5. Click “Save.”
   Once you’ve entered the details, click “Save.” MetaMask will now switch you to the Flare network.

That’s it! You’ve successfully added Flare to your MetaMask wallet.

Tips

• Only use official sources for RPC info
  Double-check RPC URLs and network data on the official Flare website or documentation. Avoid copying this information from untrusted third parties.
• Never share your MetaMask seed phrase
  Your seed phrase gives full access to your wallet. No support team, developer, or service should ever ask for it.
• You’re ready to go
  With the Flare network added to MetaMask, you can now send and receive FLR tokens, use dApps on the Flare network, and explore its growing ecosystem.

Connecting to the Flare network is a simple but important first step toward exploring a more connected and data-driven blockchain world. Whether you’re a developer or a curious user, adding Flare to MetaMask opens the door to a wide range of decentralized tools and opportunities.
