# Adding BlockX to Metamask

The [MetaMask ](https://metamask.io/)browser extension or mobile web allows us to access Ethereum-compatible applications. It can be used to connect to BlockX through the official testnet or through a BlockX node. 

Metamask also allows importing of different blockchains, making it a great solution for BlockX and similar ecosystems. 

*Below is an intuitive guide for adding the BlockX chain to Metamask:*

1. Open your MetaMask web extension (browsers - chrome, brave, Firefox, Opera)   or mobile web (iOS/Android), then click on the circle in the upper right corner to open settings.

  4\. Enter the following details below:

**BlockX Mainnet**

Network Name: BlockX 

RPC URL: <https://web3.blockxnet.com>

Chain ID: 19191

Symbol: BCX

Explorer:  <https://explorer.blockxnet.com>

**BlockX Testnet (Atlantis)**

Network Name: BlockX Atlantis Testnet

RPC URL: <https://atlantis-web3.blockxnet.com>

Chain ID: 19077

Symbol: BCX

Explorer:  <https://testnet-explorer.blockxnet.com/>

&#x20; 5\. **Hit Save**

From here, you will have the same wallet as your Ethereum or other EVMs. No need for a separate app for you to access your funds.

It will open up your Metamask to confirm the adding of BlockX Network, scroll to the bottom then click Approve. If it prompted you to switch the network to BlockX, you can also do so. \

Make sure that the Chain ID and the Network URL is the same as above. It might also show a logo different than that of BCX later on but as long as you're connecting with the right RPC or Network URL and correct Chain ID of 100 you're in the right network. We'll work in adding the proper logo later on.

### Manual Import

Select **My Accounts** and click **Import Account**. You will then see the following:

Using your terminal, you can export your primary key using this command. Make sure that you replace `key` with your own key, and change the `keyring-backend flag to "file"`.

```
blockxd keys unsafe-export-eth-key mykey
```
