Connect MetaMask
sanect exposes a standard EVM JSON-RPC, so MetaMask, ethers.js, web3.py, viem — anything that speaks EVM — works out of the box.
Add the network
Or add manually: Settings → Networks → Add network → Add a network manually.
Mainnet
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Network name | sanect |
| New RPC URL | https://rpc.sanect.com/ |
| Chain ID | 7628 |
| Currency symbol | SNCT |
| Block explorer URL | https://scan.sanect.com |
Testnet
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Network name | sanect testnet |
| New RPC URL | https://rpc.testnet.sanect.com/ |
| Chain ID | 76287 |
| Currency symbol | SNCT |
| Block explorer URL | https://scan.testnet.sanect.com |
That's it — MetaMask is now talking to sanect.
TIP
The staking dApp calls wallet_addEthereumChain automatically when MetaMask doesn't know the chain yet, so most users never have to add the network by hand.
Sanity check from a terminal
# Mainnet
curl -s -X POST https://rpc.sanect.com/ \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'
# -> {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x1dcc"} <- 0x1dcc = 7628
# Testnet
curl -s -X POST https://rpc.testnet.sanect.com/ \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'
# -> {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x129ef"} <- 0x129ef = 76287Address formats
sanect uses eth_secp256k1 keys (EVM-compatible). Your account has two equivalent representations:
- EVM (
0x…) — what MetaMask shows. Use this for EVM contracts and dApps. - Cosmos bech32 (
snct1…) — whatsanectdand the REST API show. Use this for staking, delegation, governance.
They're the same underlying public key — just two encodings. Most explorers will show both.
Funding
Mainnet — there is no faucet on mainnet. Acquire SNCT via the DEX or bridge assets from Ethereum using Hyperlane.
Testnet — the staking dApp ships with an in-app faucet — connect MetaMask and claim 100 SNCT per address per 24h. For larger amounts, ask the team or run a local devnet (see Run a full / RPC node -- local mode).
Next step
→ Run a full / RPC node if you want your own endpoint instead of using the public one.
