The Sei network has officially joined MetaMask’s list of natively supported networks, making it easier than ever to connect. This update eliminates the need for manual setup and opens the door to faster, more secure transactions on Sei’s high-performance blockchain. Here’s what you need to know about using Sei on MetaMask and why this integration matters.
What Changed With the Native Sei Integration in MetaMask?
MetaMask and Sei have teamed up to deliver a direct connection between wallet and network. Now, when you open your MetaMask wallet—on desktop or mobile—you can simply select Sei from the network dropdown without typing in RPC URLs or Chain IDs. The integration also unlocks built-in swaps, bridges, and token purchases right from MetaMask’s interface. A dedicated page in the Portfolio view highlights Sei-based dApps, NFTs, games, and tokens, making it easier to explore the ecosystem.
How Do You Use the Native Sei Connection?
The process is now almost instant. Open MetaMask, click the network selector, choose Sei from the list, and you’re connected. No more manual entries, fewer mistakes, and a more secure experience. From there, you can transact with any Sei-compatible app using your EVM address.
Can You Still Add Sei to MetaMask Manually?
Yes. If the native integration isn’t available for some reason, you can still add Sei manually:
Network Name: Sei
New RPC URL: https:// evm rpc sei-apis com
Chain ID: 1329
Currency Symbol: SEI
Block Explorer URL: https:// seitrace com
Once saved, it works just like the native version.
Why Is This Important for Sei Users?
Sei v2 supports both EVM and native Sei addresses, so MetaMask users can interact with the chain using their familiar 0x addresses. This expands Sei’s reach, making it more accessible to ethereum/">Ethereum users while enhancing interoperability in the multi-chain world.
Conclusion:
With MetaMask’s native Sei integration, onboarding to the network is now as easy as clicking a menu. For most users, this is the simplest, safest way to get started, but knowing the manual method keeps you ready for any scenario.
