5. Network Details
On this page you will have to fill out the details of the network. If you however aren’t sure of these details you can ask the team behind it for it. You can also simply connect to a swap using metamask and it should ask to setup the network for you.
The info in the image above is for HECO chain.
When you have filled everything in just click save and you are done.
Adding Tokens of other blockchains then ETH
Like with ethereum tokens, you can’t just search tokens on other networks. You will manually have to add it by contract address. You can however find these contract addresses. Just go to the blockexplore like Hecoinfo. Search up the token name. Click on it and you will get to a page as shown in the image above. You will then find the contract address under Contract.
Copy this address and then go to metamask under HECO chain and click Add token.
Then paste the Contract address into first box and the rest should fill it self. Now click Next and then Add Tokens.
Done you have now added a new token. This methode works for any ethereum like blockchain on Metamask.
