What is Steem Virtual Machine Testnet?

Steem Virtual Machine Testnet is an EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible blockchain network. Any EVM wallet — MetaMask, Rabby, OKX Wallet, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet — can connect and transact on Steem Virtual Machine Testnet once you add the network configuration.

Why do you need to add Steem Virtual Machine Testnet to your wallet?

MetaMask and most wallets only come pre-configured with Ethereum Mainnet. To transact, swap tokens, or use dApps on Steem Virtual Machine Testnet, you need to add the network first. Entering an incorrect Chain ID or RPC can put your assets at risk. Use the "Add to wallet" button above — data sourced directly from chainid.network, the canonical Ethereum chain registry.

How to add Steem Virtual Machine Testnet to your wallet

  1. 1

    Click Add to wallet

    Press the "Add to wallet" button above. MetaMask, OKX Wallet, Rabby Wallet or Trust Wallet will show a popup asking you to confirm adding the Steem Virtual Machine Testnet network.

Important notice

  • Always verify Chain ID 8163 before confirming — attackers sometimes create fake networks with similar names but different Chain IDs
  • You need STEEM tokens in your wallet to pay gas fees for transactions on Steem Virtual Machine Testnet
  • Data on this page is sourced from chainid.network — the community-verified Ethereum chain registry
  • If the "Add to wallet" button doesn't work, your wallet may not support wallet_addEthereumChain — add the network manually using the details below

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to add Steem Virtual Machine Testnet to MetaMask?
Yes, if you use the "Add to wallet" button on this page. Data is sourced from chainid.network — the community-audited Ethereum registry. Adding a network does not expose your private key or grant any permissions to the dApp.
What is Steem Virtual Machine Testnet Chain ID?
The Chain ID of Steem Virtual Machine Testnet is 8163. This unique number identifies the network and prevents MetaMask and other EVM wallets from mixing up transactions across different chains.
Do I need STEEM tokens to use Steem Virtual Machine Testnet?
Yes. Every transaction on Steem Virtual Machine Testnet requires STEEM to pay gas fees. You can purchase STEEM on exchanges and bridge it to Steem Virtual Machine Testnet, or use a faucet if this is a testnet.
What is the Steem Virtual Machine Testnet RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint is the server address your wallet uses to communicate with the Steem Virtual Machine Testnet blockchain — sending transactions, reading balances, and checking state. One popular Steem Virtual Machine Testnet RPC is https://evmrpc.blazescanner.org. This page shows live latency for each RPC so you can pick the fastest one.
My wallet says Steem Virtual Machine Testnet already exists when I click Add — what do I do?
That's completely normal. If Steem Virtual Machine Testnet is already in your wallet, it will simply switch to that network instead of adding a duplicate — no error or conflict.
I added Steem Virtual Machine Testnet but the network won't load — what's wrong?
The most common cause is a broken or overloaded RPC endpoint. Your wallet uses RPC to connect to the blockchain — if the RPC is down, the network won't load even if it was added correctly. Fix: copy a different RPC from the list above (prefer green low-latency ones), then go to Settings → Networks in your wallet and replace the old RPC with the new one. Watch the tutorial video above for step-by-step instructions on updating your RPC.
