Chains

wagmi exports the Mainnet (mainnet) & Goerli (goerli) chains out-of-the-box.

import { mainnet, goerli } from 'wagmi'

If you wish to extend to other EVM-compatible chains (like Polygon, Optimism, BSC, Avalanche, etc), you can either import the chain directly from the wagmi/chains entrypoint, or build it yourself.

`wagmi/chains`

The wagmi/chains entrypoint proxies the @wagmi/chains NPM package, an official wagmi package which contains references to popular EVM-compatible chains such as: Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, and more.

Usage

Import your chains from the entrypoint and use them in your wagmi app:

import { configureChains } from 'wagmi'
import { avalanche, bsc, mainnet } from 'wagmi/chains'
 
const { chains, provider } = configureChains(
  [mainnet, avalanche, bsc],
  ...
)

Build your own

You can also extend wagmi to support other EVM-compatible chains by building your own chain object that inherits the Chain type.

import { Chain } from 'wagmi'
 
export const avalanche = {
  id: 43_114,
  name: 'Avalanche',
  network: 'avalanche',
  nativeCurrency: {
    decimals: 18,
    name: 'Avalanche',
    symbol: 'AVAX',
  },
  rpcUrls: {
    public: { http: ['https://api.avax.network/ext/bc/C/rpc'] },
    default: { http: ['https://api.avax.network/ext/bc/C/rpc'] },
  },
  blockExplorers: {
    etherscan: { name: 'SnowTrace', url: 'https://snowtrace.io' },
    default: { name: 'SnowTrace', url: 'https://snowtrace.io' },
  },
  contracts: {
    multicall3: {
      address: '0xca11bde05977b3631167028862be2a173976ca11',
      blockCreated: 11_907_934,
    },
  },
} as const satisfies Chain
