Or add it automatically from [Chainlist](https://chainlist.org/chain/698)

**Developers**\
For developers, we recommend using Ankr for reliable and scalable RPC endpoints. Visit <https://www.ankr.com/rpc/matchain/> for more details.

## **Adding Matchain Mainnet to MetaMask**

#### *Option 1: Automatic Addition*

1. Navigate to the [Rollup Info Page](https://rollup-info.altlayer.io/oram-primary-compromise/matchain_mainnet).
2. Click the "Connect Wallet" button.
3. Follow the prompts in MetaMask to add the Matchain network.

#### *Option 2: Manual Addition*

1. Open MetaMask and click on the network dropdown at the top.
2. Select "Add Network" and then "Add a network manually."
3. Enter the details listed above:
4. Click "Save" to add the network.

Looking for Testnet? For 99% of projects we would NOT RECOMMEND using Testnet, if you still need a testnet use [opBNB testnet](https://docs.bnbchain.org/bnb-opbnb/developers/network-faucet/).

## Network details

Matchain is identical to opBNB so we use opBNB testnet. [Faucet](https://docs.bnbchain.org/bnb-opbnb/developers/network-faucet/)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.matchain.io/getting-started/using-mainnet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
