How to create New ETN (Electroneum) Metamask Wallet and Transfer ETN to it
Here is how I created a new ETN wallet in Metamask and transferred ETN into it.
1. Created a new metamask wallet in a desktop browser extension (I used Edge browser)
2. Backed up my seed phrase from the metamask wallet (people often forget this)
3. Followed the steps listed on the official Electroneum twitter post: https://x.com/electroneum/status/1770058226492432834
4. Launch the MetaMask extension or app and unlock it.
5. Click on network dropdown at the top and select “Add Network”
6. Click Add a network manually
7. Fill in these Network Details:
Network Name: Electroneum Mainnet
New RPC URL: https://rpc.electroneum.com
Chain ID: 52014
Currency Symbol: ETN
Block Explorer: https://blockexplorer.electroneum.com
Click “Save”. The network should now be selected.
8. Next, I went to https://chainlist.org website and connected my metamask wallet to the website (not sure if this is needed to be done, since some people didn’t do it, but I did it anyway, since it was listed in the Electroneum instructions). I later found out that people can either manually enter the ETN network details into metamask, or do the wallet connect on chainlist instead, which automatically enters the network details for you. you don’t have to do both, like I did. 🙂
9. You’re done! Your metamask wallet now has ETN functionality
You will notice that the Metamask Wallet Address stays the same as you’re switching between different networks (Ethereum, Electroneum, etc.) in the Wallet. When you connected ETN chain to your wallet, your wallet address did not change. So you’re basically sending your BNB, ETH, and now ETN to the same Metamask Wallet address.
You will also notice that your metamask wallet shows Account 1 at the top. If you want more wallet addresses, you just create additional accounts. I went ahead and created another account (Account 2) which gave me a second wallet address I can use for ETH, BNB, and ETN.
Testing my wallet:
Today I decided to test my wallet to make sure it works, by transferring ETN from a Crypto Exchange (Gate_com) to my Account 1 Metamask ETN Wallet, and then transfer ETN from Account 1 wallet to Account 2 wallet. Both transfers completed successfully in under 5 seconds. Since the exchange charges a fee to withdraw, I paid around 50 cents for the withdrawal from gate. But when transferring my ETN between my two metamask wallets, the fee was 0.000031 ETN, which is 0.00000020 USD. This is even cheaper than transferring XLM.

There was a plan to release a new update by Richard Ells today, but the video contains many references to new exchanges and new third party wallet compatibility that we have been unable to get a firm legal opinion on releasing in time. This is important to ensure compliance with all legal & regulatory constraints & guidelines. The video has been replaced with a simple, factual update:
- Two new exchanges are listing ETN, one of which is a top 10 ranking exchange
- Many more exchanges will be considering adding ETN over the coming weeks
- Metamask (the third party smart contract compatible wallet) is now operational, simply visit https://chainlist.org or https://chainlist.wtf and click CONNECT to use the ETN Network
- A public node has been released at http://rpc.electroenum.com this will enable you to connect many other third party smart contract compatible wallets.
- Other third party wallets tested and working include Coinbase mobile wallet (Need to add ETN as a custom network), ONEKEY & TORUS (again need to add a custom network and enter the public node address of http://rpc.electroneum.com and you might need the block explorer https://blockexplorer.electroneum.com
- LEDGER – It is possible to use LEDGER right now via METAMASK but the code has been written and submitted to Ledger as an application to allow Electroneum to be easily selected by relatively novice users. We will keep you posted on their response.
- Universities – Talks continue with a number of universities who run smart contract courses for them to become validators, we will post updates to that progress

Please remember to be extremely careful when utilising third party wallets and applications. Be mindful of scams and be careful of any private keys or seed phrases you create with third party software. Remember if someone gains access to your private key(s) or your seed phrase(s) you can (and probably will) lose your ETN or other cryptocurrency.
