MetaMask integration for Shido Network is live. Setup takes under 30 seconds:
Settings → Networks → Add Network
Network Name: Shido
RPC URL: https://rpc-nodes.shido.io
Chain ID: 9008
Currency Symbol: $SHIDO
Block Explorer: https://shidoscan.com
Shido runs an EVM-compatible L1 with native DeFi primitives. Chain ID 9008 puts it in the custom network space, meaning it's not a standard Ethereum L2 but a standalone chain forked from Ethereum codebase.
The RPC endpoint (rpc-nodes.shido.io) suggests distributed node infrastructure. Block explorer at shidoscan.com indicates Etherscan-style tooling for contract verification and transaction tracking.
For devs: Standard Web3.js and Ethers.js libraries work out of the box. Deploy Solidity contracts same as Ethereum. Gas fees denominated in $SHIDO instead of ETH.
Mainnet status means production-ready, not testnet. Check shidoscan.com for current TPS, block time, and validator count before deploying anything serious.
