Sidra Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain with its own native token, SDA. To interact with dApps, send or receive SDA, or manage your assets, you first need to add the Sidra Chain network to your wallet. This guide shows you exactly how to do it using the official network parameters, along with a faster alternative method via the Sidra Chain ledger site.
Sidra Chain Network Details (Copy-Paste Ready)
Before you begin, make sure you have the correct information. You will need to enter these details manually if you are adding the network through your wallet’s settings.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Network Name | Sidra Chain |
| RPC URL | https://node.sidrachain.com/ |
| Chain ID | 97453 |
| Currency Symbol | SDA |
| Block Explorer URL | https://ledger.sidrachain.com |
These are the official network parameters provided for Sidra Chain. Because Sidra Chain is fully EVM-compatible, you can use it with MetaMask and other Ethereum-based wallets by simply adding a custom RPC configuration.
Method 1: Add Sidra Chain to MetaMask (Step-by-Step)
MetaMask is the most popular wallet for EVM networks. Here is how to add Sidra Chain in a few clicks.
- Open MetaMask and unlock your wallet.
- Click the network selector at the top of the screen (it usually says “Ethereum Mainnet”).
- Click “Add network” or “Add a network manually” depending on your MetaMask version.
- In the form that appears, enter the following details exactly:
- Network Name:
Sidra Chain - New RPC URL:
https://node.sidrachain.com/ - Chain ID:
97453 - Currency Symbol:
SDA - Block Explorer URL:
https://ledger.sidrachain.com
- Network Name:
- Click “Save” and then “Switch to Sidra Chain.”
You will now see Sidra Chain as an active network in MetaMask. Your SDA balance will appear once you receive tokens to your wallet address.
Method 2: Add Sidra Chain to Trust Wallet (or Other EVM Wallets)
The process is nearly identical for Trust Wallet and most other multi-chain wallets that support custom EVM networks.
- Open your wallet and go to Settings or Network Management.
- Select “Add Custom Network” or the “+” icon.
- Fill in the same five fields listed in the table above.
- Save the network. Trust Wallet will now recognize Sidra Chain and display your SDA balance.
If you are using a hardware wallet like SafePal, the Sidra Chain mainnet is natively supported in recent app updates, so you may be able to add SDA directly from the coin management menu without entering RPC details manually.
Method 3: Quick Add via Ledger.sidrachain.com (Official Site)
If you prefer not to type the parameters manually, Sidra Chain provides a shortcut on its official ledger site.
- Go to https://ledger.sidrachain.com in your browser.
- Look for an “Add to Wallet” or “Connect Wallet” button, often near the network status or account dashboard.
- Click the button and approve the request in your wallet extension or app.
- The site will automatically populate the network name, RPC URL, Chain ID, and token symbol for you.
This is the fastest method, but always double-check that the site URL is exactly ledger.sidrachain.com before approving any wallet prompt.
Troubleshooting & Important Notes
- SDA is required for gas fees. Unlike some networks that use ETH for fees, Sidra Chain uses its native token SDA to pay transaction fees. Make sure you have a small amount of SDA in your wallet before attempting to send tokens or interact with smart contracts.
- Stick to the official RPC. The official RPC URL is
https://node.sidrachain.com/. Using unofficial endpoints can lead to failed transactions or security risks. - Chain ID must be exact. Entering an incorrect Chain ID (
97453) will prevent your wallet from connecting to the correct network. - MetaMask JSON-RPC errors. Some users have reported generic “Internal JSON-RPC error” messages when sending SDA on Sidra Chain. This is usually resolved by ensuring your wallet is up to date and that you are connected to the official RPC endpoint.
