# Using the EVM-layer In addition to a L1 chain, the Aleph Zero ecosystem also boasts a Layer-2 EVM chain, allowing the users to decide which network better serves their use case. Below you will find instructions on how to connect to the EVM network. #### Mainnet If you would like to use the Aleph Zero EVM-layer, you can add it to your favorite EVM wallet: * some wallets, like Talisman or Subwallet will allow you to choose Aleph Zero EVM from the networks dropdown; * other popular wallets, such as MetaMask or Rabby, will require you to add a custom network using the following details: **ChainId**: 41455 **RPC**: **Explorer**: **Token symbol/ticker:** AZERO {% hint style="warning" %} Please note that if you want to connect using MetaMask, you won't be using the Aleph Zero Snap. Instead, you just add Aleph Zero like any other custom EVM network, following [these instructions](https://support.metamask.io/networks-and-sidechains/managing-networks/how-to-add-a-custom-network-rpc/#adding-a-network-manually). {% endhint %} #### Testnet If you are a developer, or you would like to explore the EVM testnet, the details are provided in [Development on EVM-layer](/aleph-zero/build/development-on-evm-layer.md) --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
