What is EOS Network?

The EOS network is a decentralized operating system that supports industrial-scale decentralized applications. It utilizes delegated proof-of-stake (DPOS) for block production and prioritizes throughput, scalability and low transaction fees. EOS Mainnet is the primary production network with a chain ID of ’59’ and the EOS token representing its native currency.

  1. In MetaMask, click on “Assets” and then “Add Token”.
  2. Switch to the “Custom Token” tab.
