The Metis chain ID is 1088 (0x440 in hex). Metis Andromeda is an Ethereum Layer 2. Gas is paid in METIS. 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.
Metis Network Details for MetaMask
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Network name | Metis Andromeda |
| RPC URL | https://andromeda.metis.io/?owner=1088 |
| Chain ID | 1088 |
| Currency symbol | METIS |
| Block explorer | https://andromeda-explorer.metis.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.
Metis RPC URLs (Tested October 27, 2026)
| RPC endpoint | Returned chain ID | Response time |
|---|---|---|
https://andromeda.metis.io/?owner=1088 | 1088 | 351 ms |
https://metis-rpc.publicnode.com | 1088 | 182 ms |

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 1088. The latest block was 23,331,660. Public endpoints are free and rate limited: for an app or a bot, use a paid provider or your own node.
