The Blast chain ID is 81457 (0x13e31 in hex). Blast is an Ethereum Layer 2 known for native yield on ETH and stablecoins. Gas is paid in ETH. Below are the exact settings MetaMask asks for, public RPC endpoints we tested on October 27, 2026, and a one-click button to add the network.
Blast Network Details for MetaMask
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Network name | Blast |
| RPC URL | https://rpc.blast.io |
| Chain ID | 81457 |
| Currency symbol | ETH |
| Block explorer | https://blastscan.io |
Copy these values exactly. If the RPC URL returns a different chain ID than the one you enter, MetaMask stops with a chain ID mismatch warning: that usually means a typo or an RPC for another network.

We sent eth_chainId and eth_blockNumber to each endpoint from Europe on October 27, 2026; the table lists only endpoints that answered with chain ID 81457. The latest block was 42,151,236. Public endpoints are free and rate limited: for an app or a bot, use a paid provider or your own node.
