HSC connects users, assets, and decentralized applications efficiently, allowing developers and users to enjoy an efficient and low-cost on-chain experience. In this guide, we walk you through the steps you need to add Hoo Smart chain to MetaMask Wallet.

What is Hoo Smart Chain (HSC) & MetaMask?

HSC is a decentralized, energy-efficient public chain that provides developers with an efficient and cost-effective on-chain environment to run DApps and store digital assets. It provides an easy-to-scale and high-performance public chain that creates an open blockchain platform, lowering the barrier to access for decentralized applications.

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.

Step 1: Install MetaMask Extension on Chrome

This step is only for those who don't have MetaMask installed in your browser. For the purpose of this guide, we are using Chrome browser as an example but the principle steps are same when installing MetaMask in other browsers.

You can install the MetaMask using the official website or go directly to google chrome web store

Once you’ve installed, MetaMask will appear as an extension and can easily be accessed through “Settings” on Google Chrome where you can pin the wallet extension for ease of access.

Step 2: Login to your MetaMask Wallet

If you are new to MetaMask, create a wallet after installing MetaMask which will require you to choose a password and store a recovery phrase (Make sure to store your recovery phrase in a safe place).

If you already have a wallet created then log in using your MetaMask password.
