# Sei V2 MetaMask Setup Guide

A straightforward guide to setting up MetaMask on Sei

Love it or hate it, MetaMask is considered the leading wallet for EVM Crypto, and this holds true for Sei V2's EVM layer. This guide is largely for those who have been here since Sei V1 and want to get their account set up on MetaMask, but the details will be useful for new members too

### Prerequisites

* You have MetaMask installed
* (Optional) You have an existing Sei wallet

## Add Sei Network to MetaMask (5 Clicks)

Sei is not a default chain in MetaMask, so we need to provide MetaMask with its details

1. Go to <https://chainlist.org/?search=sei>
2. Click Connect Wallet\

3. Click Confirm to allow it to set up the network\

5. Then Approve\

🎉 You've added Sei to MetaMask 🎉&#x20;

## Link you EVM and Sei Address (6 Clicks)

Each private key has two addresses: your 0x address (EVM) and Sei (native) address. Linking them is just a few clicks.

1. Go to <https://app.sei.io/>
2. Click Connect Wallet
3. Click Approve
4. Complete the Captcha \

5. Click Link Addresses
6. Sign the message

🎉 You've linked your EVM and Native address 🎉&#x20;

## (Optional) Add an existing Sei Wallet to MetaMask

If you have an account with Sei already on it, then you can import that same wallet into MetaMask (yes, even if it is a sei-address). I’m using Compass for this, but the process is similar for any wallet provider.

1. Get your private key. For **Compass** you click on ☰\
   ![](https://3841759365-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdUQcU0vViNe6jUvJHhQL%2Fuploads%2FzVtTDvIVcYVv0C7tbcRE%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=a61c5ee7-0fd1-4df7-9ef5-3c9279622b52)
2. Now go to **MetaMask**, go to your Account\
   ![](https://3841759365-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdUQcU0vViNe6jUvJHhQL%2Fuploads%2FotKysSoh4uoOGdOfZLUy%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=ace8574f-cd16-4d45-9bec-c75be987549c)
3. Click on Add account or hardware wallet\
   ![](https://3841759365-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdUQcU0vViNe6jUvJHhQL%2Fuploads%2F4RR0jjSv0UJC9gKejGCq%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=4db30d86-64bd-4ca0-9d5f-343b8b712549)
4. Click Import Account\
   ![](https://3841759365-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdUQcU0vViNe6jUvJHhQL%2Fuploads%2F4NCo6ag8A85iegZx7FrU%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=0eeefdd8-7048-4e5e-b678-eba13619d4c6)
5. Finally paste in your private key

🎉 You have imported your wallet into MetaMask 🎉
