How to Add KardiaChain to MetaMask

KardiaChain is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain focused on interoperability and real-world adoption, particularly in Southeast Asia. Although KardiaChain is EVM-compatible (meaning it works with Ethereum-based tools), it’s not included by default in MetaMask. To use the KAI token or access KardiaChain’s decentralized applications (dApps), users need to manually add the network to their MetaMask wallet.

This guide walks you through the reasons for connecting KardiaChain to MetaMask, and how to do it securely and step by step.

Why Add KardiaChain to MetaMask?

Adding KardiaChain to MetaMask allows you to:

  • Store and manage KAI tokens in a familiar wallet interface
  • Connect to KardiaChain-based dApps, such as staking platforms or NFT marketplaces
  • Access the broader KardiaChain ecosystem using tools you already know

Whether you’re staking, sending tokens, or interacting with smart contracts, MetaMask can serve as a gateway—once the network is configured correctly.

What You’ll Need

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  • MetaMask installed on your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave) or mobile device
  • A basic understanding of how to switch networks in MetaMask
  • Optional: A small amount of KAI tokens ready to send or use after setup

How to Add KardiaChain to MetaMask

Follow these steps to manually add the KardiaChain network:

  1. Open MetaMask
    Launch the MetaMask extension in your browser or open the mobile app.
  2. Click the Network Dropdown
    At the top of the wallet, click the current network (e.g., “Ethereum Mainnet”).
  3. Select “Add Network.”
    Scroll down and choose “Add Network” (on browser) or “Add a Network Manually” (on mobile).
  4. Enter the KardiaChain Network Details
    Fill in the following fields:
    • Network Name: KardiaChain
    • New RPC URL: https://rpc.kardiachain.io
    • Chain ID: 24
    • Currency Symbol: KAI
    • Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.kardiachain.io/
  5. Click Save
    After saving, MetaMask will switch to the KardiaChain network, and you’ll see KAI as the default token.

You’re now ready to interact with KardiaChain using MetaMask.

How to Get KAI in Your Wallet

Once the network is set up, you can send KAI tokens to your MetaMask wallet using the wallet address displayed at the top (starting with 0x...).

Here are a few ways to get KAI into your wallet:

  • Transfer from an exchange: If you bought KAI on KuCoin, Gate.io, or MEXC, withdraw it directly to your MetaMask address on the KardiaChain network.
  • Send from another wallet: If you already hold KAI in the Kardia Wallet or other compatible wallets, you can transfer it to your MetaMask address.
  • Use a bridge (if needed): In some cases, bridging tools may be available to move assets from other chains to KardiaChain. Always use official or verified bridges.
  • Always double-check the network details before adding them. Incorrect settings can cause failed transactions or lost tokens.
  • Only interact with trusted dApps and platforms. Stick to verified links from official KardiaChain sources.
  • Never share your seed phrase or private key with anyone. Your wallet security is your responsibility.

Adding KardiaChain to MetaMask is a straightforward way to engage with the network using tools you’re already comfortable with. Whether you’re holding, staking, or exploring dApps, this setup puts you one step closer to participating in the KardiaChain ecosystem.
