# CoinEx Smart Chain (CSC)

CSC is an EVM protocol, which is excellent in many ways. 

\
For one, this means you can use Metamask without issues! All you need to do is add the RPC information to your metamask and that's it. 

{% hint style="success" %}
MM RPC information: 

**RPC:** [https://rpc.coinex.net](https://rpc.coinex.net/)

**Network name:** Coinex Smart Chain (or name it as you wish)

**ChainID:** 52

**Symbol:** CET

**Explorer:** [https://www.coinex.net](https://www.coinex.net/)
{% endhint %}

If you are new to Metamask let's show you how to add a new RPC. It's super easy.

## Adding CSC to Metamask

#### Step 1 – Installing Metamask

If you do not have Metamask installed just yet, you can find the extension for the browser and additional documentation on the official [Metamask Website](https://metamask.io/). 

Metamask Download links can be found on this page – <https://metamask.io/download/>

> While it does state on the site it supports only Chrome. Chromium based browsers can work, however, use Metamask on other browsers at **your own risk** as it might not be as stable as on Chrome.&#x20;

Metamask also offers a thorough FAQ section for all the new users who are just learning how to use the extension. This FAQ can be found here - <https://metamask.io/faqs/>&#x20;

#### Step 2 – Add CSC RPC

With the extension installed you will need to create or import a wallet. For more details on that please consult the [Ethereum](https://docs.blockchaincuties.com/blockchain-cuties-universe-knowledge-base/bcu-mechanics/supported-blockchains/ethereum) section.&#x20;

When you've made yourself a new wallet, or imported your already existing one, it is time to add the CSC network to your Metamask.\
\
Open up the extension and select the drop-down for the networks at the top of the extension window.&#x20;

That's it. Now you can switch between ETH and CSC with just a few clicks in Metamask.&#x20;

## How to add $CET to your CSC wallet.&#x20;

There are a few ways you can get $CET to use for transactions on CSC.&#x20;

1. Purchase the token on its [native exchange](https://www.coinex.com/info/CET) (recommended)
2. Swap it using the CoinEx [Swap Tool](https://www.coinex.com/swap)
