HECO is a blockchain, with a bunch of DeFi applications. You can use a web 3.0 wallet to get started on HECO. How do you set up your MetaMask wallet to access this new blockchain? Guide.
If you've never used MetaMask, it's an extension to use a cryptocurrency wallet on your browser. Essentially, MetaMask supports the Ethereum blockchain and the Binance Smart Chain. But lately, it is also possible to use the MATIC, AVAX, FANTOM and HECO blockchain. HECO is the network of the Huobi blockchain, to use this blockchain, you will have to deposit Huobi Token on MetaMask. First you have to switch a parameter on the extension, that's what we will see in this part.
⚠️ The HECO blockchain is a network in its own right, quite distinct from Ethereum or Bitcoin. If you want to send funds on HECO, make sure to select the Huobi Eco Chain network during the transfer process.
Configure MetaMask to accept the Heco network.
After installing MetaMask from the official page, you will find a small fox head in the list of browser extensions. If you can't find it, restart your browser.
Click on the fox and set up your password if you haven't already. Once your wallet is properly configured, you have a fully functional wallet for the Ethereum network. You will need to manually add the Heco (Huobi Eco Chain) network.
To do so, nothing could be easier. First click on the network selector "Ethereum main network" marked on the image with the number 1 and then click on the "Custom RPC" marked with the number 2.
On the next window, you will need to manually set up access to the Heco network. Here is the information to fill in:
• Network Name: Heco Mainnet
• New RPC URL: https://http-mainnet-node.huobichain.com
• Chain ID: 128
• Symbol: HT
• Block Explorer URL: https://scan.hecochain.com
Once the information is added, you can click on "Save" to validate.
The operation is now complete!
You can interact with the Huobi blockchain on the Heco network as you wish. However, check the network selector. It only displays funds on the selected network, so don't panic if you can't find your funds. Just make sure you have selected the right network.
