The XDC Network is attracting the projects and community towards itself with its lowest gas fee and high-speed transaction which is 2000+ TPS. Most of the people are interested in the XDC Network but currently, they are using Ethereum Network.

So BlocksScan is introducing a new RPC which will help us to handle both the transaction, functions without changing any code or we can say smart contract.

In this guide, we will show you how to set up Metamask for BlocksScan RPC.

Install the Metamask Extension

Visit the browser extension and download the MetaMask extension.

Create a MetaMask Wallet or Import it from Secret Recovery Phrase

If you are creating a new one, Setup your password and keep your secret recovery phrase somewhere safe.

Click import wallet if you have an existing wallet.

Setup MetaMask to connect to BlocksScan RPC

Switch the connected Network by clicking on the tab “Ethereum Mainnet” Network.

Now we are adding the Custom RPC using BlocksScan RPC

By clicking on the “Ethereum Mainnet” you will find the “Add Network” button.

Now enter the details about BlocksScan RPC settings:

BlocksScan RPC details are as follows:

For Mainnet:

Network Name: XDC Network

New RPC URL: https://eRPC.BlocksScan.io

ChainID: 50

Symbol: XDC

Block Explorer URL: https://xdc.blocksscan.io/

For Apothem Network:

Network Name: XDC Apothem Network

New RPC URL: https://apothemrpc.blocksscan.io/

ChainID: 51

Symbol: XDC

Block Explorer URL: https://apothem.blocksscan.io

Once you have entered all the details, click on the Save button.

Congratulations, “XDC Apothem Network” is successfully added!

You are connected to the BlocksScan Apothem RPC with your Metamask Wallet!

Now you can connect “XinFin Network” using BlocksScan Ethereum compatible RPC.

Note:

While using Metamask for the XinFin Network, your address prefix will be ‘0x’ instead of ‘xdc’.

Before sending any transaction, please check the Address prefix and amount carefully.

For new users, We would recommend you to start the transactions with small amount.
