Install MetaMask & add Electroneum (ETN)
Watch the quick walkthrough above: install MetaMask, add the Electroneum (ETN) EVM network, and receive ETN. These notes are a concise reference.
What you’ll learn
- Install the MetaMask browser extension
- Create a wallet & secure your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase
- Add Electroneum Mainnet with Chainlist (Chain ID 52014)
- Find your address / QR code to receive ETN
Before you start
- Use a trusted browser (Chrome, Brave, Edge)
- Only download from metamask.io
- Prepare a strong, unique password
Quick steps
- Install MetaMask from metamask.io.
- Create a wallet, set a secure password, and write down your 12 words (offline).
- Open chainlist.org → search Electroneum → Connect → Add to MetaMask (Chain ID 52014).
- Switch network to Electroneum Mainnet and use your address/QR to receive ETN.
Tip: Your account address is the same across EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, BSC, ETN). Solana is different.
Why MetaMask + ETN?
MetaMask is the most widely used EVM wallet. Electroneum’s EVM network gives you familiar tools with fast, low-cost transactions for tokens, NFTs, and dApps.
Security essentials
- Store the 12 words offline (paper/metal). Never share them.
- Use unique passwords. Consider a hardware wallet for larger balances.
