MetaMask is one of the most widely used crypto wallets in the world, allowing users to store assets securely and connect with decentralized applications (dApps). While MetaMask supports several blockchain networks by default, some networks must be added manually.
Previously known as Klaytn, the network has now officially rebranded and is currently called Kaia Network. In this guide, you will learn how to add the Kaia Mainnet to MetaMask easily on both desktop and mobile devices.
What Is Kaia Network?
Kaia is the next-generation blockchain platform formed after the merger of Klaytn and Finschia. The goal of Kaia is to build one of Asia’s largest Web3 ecosystems, supporting:
DeFi applications
Blockchain gaming (GameFi)
Metaverse projects
Creator-based digital platforms
The network remains Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible, meaning it can be used with MetaMask and other popular Web3 tools. The native token of the network has also been updated from KLAY to KAIA as part of the rebranding process.
Why Add Kaia Network to MetaMask?
By adding Kaia Mainnet to MetaMask, users can:
Access Kaia-based dApps
Manage KAIA tokens
Explore the growing Kaia ecosystem
Use DeFi and Web3 platforms built on Kaia
Since Kaia is not included in MetaMask’s default network list, users must add it manually.
