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: https://rpc.alephzero.raas.gelato.cloud

Explorer: https://evm-explorer.alephzero.org/

Token symbol/ticker: AZERO

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.

Testnet
