I believe if you are reading this you must have some knowledge about VeChain (VET) and do not know how to add VET to MetaMask, this article is for you. So Let's find out how to add VET to MetaMask and whether you can get VeChain on MetaMask.
Can you get VeChain on MetaMask?
Unlike most altcoins, VET and VTHO are not based on Ethereum. Instead, they run on Thor, VeChain's native blockchain. This means that popular software wallets like Metamask are not compatible with VeChain tokens.
How to access VET to MetaMask?
VET has its own mainnet and is no longer an ERC20 token in the Ethereum network. If you can see the VET funds in the address of the VeChain browser:
- Export the private key for that specific Ethereum address from your MetaMask wallet (make sure to move any ETH or ERC20 tokens out of the address before exporting the private key or seed phrase/secret recovery phrase).
- Import that private key into any VET wallet that supports the same private key format.
Which wallet can store VeChain?
VeChain Sync is the official desktop wallet. Users can connect their Ledger devices to VeChain Sync and access and manage VET, VTHO or VIP180 tokens. It is designed to provide a seamless user experience for VeChain applications and offer unlimited potential for developers and users as a dApp environment.
I hope this article will help you to learn how to access VET to MetaMask and whether you can get VeChain on MetaMask. Be careful when importing that private key or seed phrase/secret recovery phrase as it gives access to all the funds you may have in your Ethereum address.
