The Sepolia chain ID is 11155111 (0xaa36a7 in hex). Sepolia is the main public Ethereum testnet for apps and smart contracts. Its ETH has no market value and comes from faucets. 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.
Sepolia Network Details for MetaMask
| Field | Value |
|---|---|

| RPC URL | https://rpc.sepolia.ethpandaops.io |
| Chain ID | 11155111 |
| Currency symbol | ETH |

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.
