1. Can I add KCC to Metamask?
Yes. The Kucoin Community Chain (KCC) network is EVM-compatible. That means it’s simple to add to Metamask.
Developers can use the power of Ethereum to deploy and run dApps on KCC for a fraction of a cent.

2. How to Add KCC Network to Metamask
This section will show how to add the KCC network and its native token (KCS) to your Metamask Wallet. When you add the KCC Network, KCS will be added automatically for you.
To connect to the KCC Network via Metamask you need the right custom RPC points: network name, New RPC URL, Chain ID, and Currency symbol.
Before You Start:
- Ensure you have a computer or mobile device with an internet connection
- Ensure you have a web3 crypto wallet like Metamask installed on your browser or mobile device (iOS and Android).
NOTE: If you haven’t installed Metamask on your browser or mobile devices please head to the Metamask official website, download the application and create a wallet. Always keep your recovery phrase in a safe place.
Without further ado, let’s get started with our 5-Step Guide:
STEP 1: Unlock your Metamask Wallet
The first step is to unlock our Metamask browser extension or mobile Android/iOS device. Click the browser extension (or mobile app) and enter your secure password in the box.
STEP 2: Click on the Network Dropdown Box
When you unlock your wallet, you’ll see the name of your default network (E.g., Ethereum Mainnet) as well as a dropdown arrow. Click that option to see a list of all your available networks.
Note: On mobile devices, select the hamburger menu.
STEP 3: Click Add Network Button
At the bottom of your list of available networks, you’ll see an Add Network Button. Hit this button to add a new network to Metamask.
Note: On mobile devices, go to Settings and Select Networks
STEP 4: Click on “Add a Network Manually”
Following that, you’ll see a screen with the option to automatically add other networks. Unfortunately, Kucoin Network is not on that list. So, we will need to add it manually.
Click on [Add the Network Manually]
Note: On mobile devices, Click on “Add Network.”
Step 5: Input KCC RPC Network Details and Save
The final step is to input the RPC network details. RPC (remote procedure call) is a URL that allows you to connect to a server node (for example, the Kucoin server) and interact with that Blockchain.
There are two kinds of Kucoin networks. The production or real network, known as KCC Mainnet, and the Kucoin testing network, known as KCC Tesnet.
If you are not a developer that wants to test their dApps before implementing them on the “real” blockchain, you can disregard the KCC Tesnet information.
Note: On mobile devices switch to custom networks and fill up the KCC RPC custom Details. Then, click “Add.”
Fill in:
KCC Mainnet Info:
- Network Name: KCC MAINNET
- New RPC URL: https://rpc-mainnet.kcc.network
- ChainID: 321
- Currency Symbol: KCS
- Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.kcc.io/en
Adding KCC Blockchain Explorer is optional, but it is always a good idea to fill out all of the information and know where to verify all KCS blockchain transactions.
KCC RPC Testnet Info:
- Network Name: KCC Testnet
- New RPC URL: https://rpc-testnet.kcc.network
- ChainID: 322
- Currency Symbol: tKCS
- Block Explorer URL: https://scan-testnet.kcc.network
After you input all the details, just click “Save” and Voilá!, your default network (E.g, Ethereum Mainnet) will be switched automatically to the KCC Network.
Now you are ready to interact with the KCC Ecosystem!
