Can someone tell me how to run Tron network on metamask wallet or this isn't possible? Since RSK mainnet and BSC are possible on metamask why not Tron so before doing anything stupid that's why I think I should ask you guys

Metamask wallet is an ERC20 tokens wallet, not for TRC20, I will suggest you to use TrustWallet that support both (ERC20 and TRC20) and also supporting BSC (BEP20)

Metamask doesn't support Tron network, it's only support RSK, BSC, Goerli, Kovan, Rinkeby, and Ropsten network. So, there's no way to run Tron network on Metamask.

You ask me, whom should I ask? :P Of course there's a reason why the developer didn't add Tron network on Metamask.

If you looking for wallet which only support Tron network, you can choose Tronlink.

Currently Metamask wallet only supporting network of BSC for BEP20 tokens, Ethereum for ERC20, Polygon, Harmony and Avalanche. And Metamask dont support yet for TRON network. We can use others personal wallet for TRC20 tokens, like wallet of Trustwallet, Mathwallet, Atomic, Coinomi, Token Pocket and Safepal.

The Metamask extension can create, sign and broadcast the transactions encoded in RLP (Recursive Length Prefix) over various networks. Metamask supports the Ethereum mainnet by default. Its "Chain Id" is 1 (0x01).

Ropsten, Kovan, Rinkeby ang Goerli are the official testnets of Ethereum.

Binance Smart Chain is not an Ethereum testnet, but its transactions have a similar structure. Its "Chain Id" is 56 (0x38).

The RSK mainnet "Chain Id" is 30 (0x1E).

All the coins you mentioned are based on the ECDSA secp256k1 elliptic curve and have the following transaction format:
nonce, gasPrice, gasLimit, to, value, data, v (containing the chainId), r, s


TRON is based on a different cryptography and its transactions have a unique structure. My guess is that the Metamask developers will not be implementing the TRX blockchain in the foreseeable future, so you need to download another wallet or extension.

for now it may not be for tron in metamask , I don't know the day after tomorrow
 but it might not be realized because the tron network does not support metamask. if you want to use a multichain wallet, I recommend using a trustwallet which is easier

I think the Tron network also has extensions like metamask. You can use TRON LINK if you use a wallet browser.
because so far we can't use it in metamask.

You can not do that but there is another extinction wallet like metamask that can be used for the Tron network. You can use the Tronlink app extinction which is available for Google Chrome, Brave, and Firefox Browser. It also supports dApps for Tron network and multi wallets functionality. Its similar to Metamask and very easy to use.

Tron was not ethereum compliant and that will never possible to use tron on metamask. Any blockchaint that alreadyt ethereum compliant can use metamask. You must remember this if it's not all of the blockchain can be ethereum compliant. You must see the specification of tron blockchain first.

I think it's not possbile, I'm not an expert though but metamask use different source code and only support Ethereum-Forked Coin/Token or anything related so it's normal since RSK & BSC basically was forked from Ethereum and use same source code and address but with only some improvisation, Maybe you can try to use Tronlink if you want to connect to Tron-Based dApps, Please correct me if i'm wrong, Cheers!

Metamask Doesn't support tron network. It only supports BEP20, ERC20, Matic Network, Harmony and some more. I searched your question on Google " Why Metamask doesn't support Tron network?" But I didn't get any information correct. If you are looking for multichain wallet then you should use Trust Wallet because it support all Networks. If you want only Tron good wallet then you can use Tronlinkpro and klever.

I've never tried it either, although Metamask is a multi-functional wallet, and Tron also has its own wallet App that everyone can use,
so not many people ask about this in the forums.

Metamask does not support TRC20. Because there is no collaboration between Metamask and Tron. But why BEP20 can run on Metamask, because BEP20 works with Ethereum network. Metamask is Ethereum's base network, but only needs to change Mainnet if running BEP20.


Yes. Trust Wallet support with all crypto networks. So that all tokens can be transferred to the Trust Wallet based on the smart contract of each platform. It's just that we need to create a multi-coin Trust Wallet. We can store tokens from Eos and Waves smart contracts.

U can use tronlink for alternative, afaik metamask isnt working for tron network.

Each chain has their own specific networks and wallets to be used. For Tron, there are a lot of wallets that supports it and that's why you don't have to look for Metamask on it.

Example of Metamask for Tron is Tronlink.

I do not know about the support of Metamask wallet for Tron before but I just know that Tron is not supported by Metamask. I have never used Metamask wallet before and I do not know if it supports BEP20 which some posters have included above, but BEP20 can also be good for USDT, but I prefer TRC20 though which also have very low transaction fee unlike ERC20.

in the future tron will still stay not compatible with metamask, metamask was created with ETH in mind and if a chain have similar structure with ETH (with the RPC and stuff) then it could work.
other than that metamask might as well create another app specifically made for tron.
If tron decide to alter their whole blockchain then that's possible as well but that's not likely to happen.

Metamask wallet so far does not support the TRX network in other uses or use one that supports both so that the coins are not lost in the world or somewhere

Tron was using the different protocol combined with the different hash and it's not the same like ethereum. BSC and RSK were using the same hash that usedby ethereum and that's why both can be used on the metamask.

Tron is not able to be added to the metamask as it has a different configuration. You will never able run tron on  metamask forever until tron will become ethereum compliant like BSC and RSK

For now Metamask only supports, RSK, BSC.  In the future, it's possible that Metamask can support the Tron network.  Tron is also one of the oldest and most advanced networks.  With the cheapest fees and fast transactions for now.  I think Metamask deserves to update the tron ​​network.
But it all depends on the progress of the metamask itself.  It's possible that the metamask of updating the system is wider and higher.  Because in the world of cryptocurrency nothing is impossible.  Everything is possible with the advancement of the cryptocurrency wallet itself.

No, TRON network is not compatible with Metamask. Metamask is specially made for using with Ethereum network but as BSC network is compatible with Ethereum format and addresses, BSC chain and it's token could be used with Metamask with a workaround. Tron follows a different blockchain and address format and has it's own set of wallets and extensions.

metamask is a browser extension, if you want to use dapps you can use TRONLINK as that's for TRON. if the team however can make an update to metamask where TRC assets can be stored there is nothing wrong with that. its going to be convenient for crypto users for they can import all their assets to just one browser extension that's a good development.

Tron Network is different and has no resemblance to Ethereum that's why it is not supported on Metamask yet, while the RSK, Polygon, BSC, and others are an identical copy of Ethereum because their codes are base on Ethereum thats why their address started in 0x, By the way, dont make things more complicated just choose another wallet that supports Tron network any other than Metamask. the good one is the Trust wallet, Imtoken, Tokenpocket and many more.

hi i have some problem.. i accidentally sent my TRON to my metamask wallet.. is there any way i can retrieve it? 🥺🥺

I am afraid that no, you can't.
Metamask doesn't support this chain.
When you send tokens that are not supported on this chain or exchange you just lose them. And you can return them only when this token appears on it. And to send from one chain to another you need bridges, but do not just send your coins.

As there is no support neither on Metamask nor on the Tron chain, you can't even ask for help. It is always your responsibility.

As far as I know you can use the Tron chain only in wallets like Trust wallet and Tron link. Metamask doesn't support this chain. On Metamask you can work only with chains that are connected with Ethereum. For example BSC or Polygon that is a sidechain upon Ethereum. You could notice that the address on your Metamask starts with 0x, and it suits all these chains. But in Tron your address starts with TV, so no connection to Metamask.

Its designed that way considering that Metamask is erc20 based then crossing in other chains is possible but i dont know why they havent crossed out on TRX network.
It would be actually good if it would be possible but for now then deal on things on what it is.

Before we tell a long story about the Mainnet, actually Ethereum and BSC have something in common. Similarity in the number of wallet addresses, similarity in private keys. You can receive BSC tokens in your Ethereum wallet without changing anything. Take the Ethereum private key, import it into the Trust Wallet, immediately display the BSC token.
Changed mainnet to be able to display BSC based tokens on the metamask platform. And of course metamask does not support the Tron network, which is of course different in many ways.

[SOLVED]

Hi, just like you here I also transferred TRX to Metamask and I was scared to learn that it didn't support the TRON network.

Okay. But you can recover your TRX by following these steps:

1) Go to https://bscscan.com/

2) Copy the address from your Metamask wallet and paste it into the search site https://bscscan.com/
Click on the address of your wallet that will appear.

3) In "TOKEN" you will see an arrow to click. Click on it and there will be your TRX.
Click on it!

4) Now, under "Profile Summary" you will see:

Contract:
Decimals:
...

Copy the contract!

5) Go to Metamask and click Add Token!

6) Enter the contract you copied and that's it. You now have TRX in your Metamask.

I hope I helped you.

Tron has its own derivatives in terms of its network and I believed it's only running all alone on its network which cannot be link with metamask. Don't try to do this on your metamask, there's a lot of wallet app that can be downloaded in order to run tron network, compatibility issue is a must here. Please follow what's recommended and don't try to make it possible when there's a technical issue behind it.

Someone has been creating a good post for you but if that was coming from the native chain of tron and you're loosing it but in this case i know that if you are transferring the tron BSC to the metamask. that means your tron is still getting stored in your BSC wallet. Just try to change your network to the BSC and then add the contract. You will able to see whether your tron was in your wallet or not.
You can also check it on the bscscan

if the ERC20 network in metamask is not connected or not supported, if anyone wants MetaMask the same as the TRC20 address the same as the BSC I have writing with the android application https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5351276.msg57551920#msg57551920

That's right, for the Tron wallet there are only two good options, namely the use of the Tronlink application and also Trustwallet which both support the Tron wallet so there is no need to use Metamask anymore for support.

I think tronlink is also almost the same as metamask. I see many people also recommend using this wallet.
I also use tronlink browser wallet. but I think it's more convenient to use in a trust wallet.

The tron network is not supported by Metamask. Only BEP20, ERC20, Matic Network, Harmony, and a few others are supported. For your Q,  I didn't get any of the facts right. If you're looking for a multichain wallet, Trust Wallet is a good option because it supports all networks.

All Ethereum networks for metamasca can be found on this resource
https://chainlist.org/
"Chainlist is a list of EVM networks. Users can use the information to connect their wallets and Web3 middleware providers to the appropriate Chain ID and Network ID to connect to the correct chain."
Always check the information on the official websites

The Metamask wallet now only supports the BSC network for BEP20 tokens, Ethereum for ERC20 tokens, Polygon, Harmony, and Avalanche. Metamask does not currently support the TRON network. For TRC20 tokens, we can utilize personal wallets such as Trustwallet, Mathwallet, Atomic and Safepal.

Now the choices are starting to be many, it's just that it depends on one's comfort in using them, Tronlink, Metamask, and Trustwallet are almost the same in terms of use and the same, but what distinguishes the three is in their use and features, so it won't be wrong if you want to use all three also as long as it is still very comfortable for you.

I think there are many TRON wallets available and many also get good value for TRON storage, maybe you want TRON to be able to enter metamask to make every transaction easier but it doesn't seem like this can happen considering TRC‌ 20 is the technical standard used for smart contracts on blockchain TRON to implement tokens with the TRON Virtual Machine (TVM).

you can use Tron Link or trust wallet to use projects using TRC20, currently metamask does not support TRON network and also will not support TRC20 platform as it is a completely separate platform and completely different from ERC20 and BEP20 .

Can you explain what you mean by this ? because I have never entered metamask through the TRON network, because TRON itself has provided special extensions or special applications in terms of accessing TRON by everyone and it is also easier.

Just use google for Tron wallets that work with the TRC20 network, Trust wallet is the optimal version IIRC. Regarding Metamask, it is based on the ERC20 network you can't store or send/receive transactions related to the TRX network.
1)Vision wallet
2) TronLink can be used for both mobile and desktop
3)Guarda (Desktop, Mobile, Browser Extension, Web wallet)
4) Trust Wallet (Mobile)
5)Atomic Wallet (Desktop and Mobile)

I also think so because I also never found TRC20 via metamask, but other than that I often see and use it, so the exception is the TRON network in metamask, and this I haven't found until now via metamask, this is what makes me confused, really he can login via Metamask for Tron network ;D

currently tron can be in many wallets such as trustwallet, safepal and several other wallets. for metamask, it seems to prioritize networks with the first name 0x.... that means that BSC and ETH networks are prioritized in metamask, even though other networks through custom have started entering metamask. however, for tron it has not been possible until now

Tron wallet cannot be imported to metamask because Metamask mostly supports most Wallets address that start with 0x. BSC, Polygon, Avax, fantom and some wallets can be imported to metamask because there are somehow related to Ethereum. Tron is entirely different and these blockchain networks

Yes, and when viewed in general it is very clear that Metamask only supports Blockchain which was originally related to the Ethereum network or the coin was built with the Ethereum Network even though after that there was already its own network like the coins you mentioned.
