ghostNFT is live on multiple EVM Chains.

ghostNFT has been deployed on multiple EVM-compatible chains, and having access to all of these chains is highly beneficial.

Adding a network to Metamask allows you to connect to and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) running on that network. Metamask supports a variety of EVM-compatible chains, including:

  • Ethereum
  • Goerli (TestNet)
  • Astar
  • Aurora
  • Avalanche
  • Binance
  • Celo
  • Ethereum Classic
  • Fantom
  • Fuse
  • Gnosis
  • Harmony
  • Metis
  • Moonbeam
  • Polygon
  • Linea (TestNet)

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to add a network to Metamask across different EVM-compatible chains.
