# Connect to Metamask

Pando blockchain is fully interoperable with [Metamask](https://metamask.io/). To connect Metamask to the **Pando Mainnet & Testnet** follow below guide for more detail.

## Adding via Chainlist

### To the Mainnet

1. Head to the Chainlist site at [chainlist.wtf](https://chainlist.wtf/).
2. Firstly, you'll need to connect your wallet to the site. Select '**Connect wallet**' in the top right to do so.

4\. MetaMask itself will now spring into action, and will present you with an approval menu. Click '**Approve**' to proceed. This will be followed by a menu asking you whether you want to switch to the new network immediately. Confirm or reject this depending on your needs; either way, the new network will be added.

**Network Name**: Pandonet\
**New RPC URL**: <https://eth-rpc-api.pandoproject.org/rpc>\
**Chain ID**: 3601\
**Currency Symbol**: PANDOP\
**Block Explorer URL (optional)**: <https://explorer.pandoproject.org/>

### To the Pando Testnet

If you want to connect Metamask to the **Pando Testnet** instead, use the following parameters:

**Network Name**: Pando Testnet\
**New RPC URL**: <https://testnet.ethrpc.pandoproject.org/rpc>\
**Chain ID**: 3602\
**Currency Symbol**: PTX\
**Block Explorer URL (optional)**: <https://testnet.explorer.pandoproject.org/>

### To the Pando Local Privatenet

First we need to run a Pando local privatenet with the Pando/Ethereum RPC Adaptor. The ETH RPC adaptor running at `http://localhost:18888/rpc` interacts with the Web3.js library by translating the Pando RPC interface into the ETH RPC interface.

Next, use the following parameters to connect Metamask to the **Pando Local Privatenet**:

**Network Name**: Pando Privatenet\
**New RPC URL**: <http://127.0.0.1:18888/rpc>\
**Chain ID**: 3601\
**Currency Symbol**: PTX
