# Add LAYERK Chain on Metamask

You'll need MetaMask installed and set up first. If not, follow the MetaMask setup steps in the previous section.

**Step-by-Step Instructions**

**Step 1: Open MetaMask**

* Click the MetaMask icon in your browser toolbar
* Unlock your wallet with your password (if prompted)

**Step 2: Open Network Settings**

* In MetaMask, click the network dropdown at the top center (it might say "Ethereum Mainnet" by default)
* Select "Add network" or click "Add network manually" at the bottom

**Step 3: Enter LayerK Chain Details**

Use the information provided below to configure the LayerK network.

| Field              | Value                            |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| Network Name       | LayerK Mainnet                   |
| New RPC URL        | <https://mainnet-rpc.layerk.com> |
| Chain ID           | 529375                           |
| Currency Symbol    | LYK                              |
| Block Explorer URL | <https://explorer.layerk.com>    |

What these fields mean:

* **Network Name** – A custom name for your network
* **RPC URL** – The endpoint MetaMask uses to connect to LayerK
* **Chain ID** – Unique ID for LayerK (avoids conflict with other chains)
* **Currency Symbol** – Native token symbol (for LayerK, it's LYK)
* **Block Explorer** – Lets you view on-chain activity and transactions

**Step 4: Save the Network**

* Click "Save"
* MetaMask will automatically switch to LayerK Mainnet
* You can now use the LayerK network in MetaMask and interact with apps like Homnifi or the LayerK DAO

**Troubleshooting Tips**

* If the RPC URL isn't working, check for typos or visit layerk.com for updated endpoints
* If you see an error saying "Chain ID already exists," you may have added it already; just switch to it
* If transactions don't go through, make sure you have enough LYK tokens for gas fees
