Evmos to MetaMask Wallet

Evmos is a decentralized proof of stake blockchain in the Cosmos ecosystem. It aims to bring Ethereum dApps to the Cosmos ecosystem, and allow developers to create their own EVM-compatible blockchains by forking Evmos.

In this guide, we'd walk you through the steps needed to add Evmos network to MetaMask wallet.

What is Evmos & MetaMask?

Evmos is a highly scalable blockchain running on a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, built with the Cosmos software development kit (SDK) on the Tendermint Core Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus methodology. EVMOS, the native token on Evmos, is used for paying transaction fees, staking to secure the network, and taking part in Evmos’ governance.

MetaMask on the other hand is one of the most widely-used Wallets. You can send, receive, and manage tokens and cryptocurrencies from Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and other blockchains. With MetaMask, you can store NFTs, crypto art, and other crypto collectibles. Its browser extension is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
