Quickstart

Add Calix to your wallet, get test tokens, and start exploring the chain in minutes.

1. Add Calix Mainnet to your wallet

Open MetaMask (or any EVM-compatible wallet) and add the network manually:

Field	Value
Network Name	Calix Chain
RPC URL	https://calixchain.io/rpc
Chain ID	999 (0x3E7)
Currency Symbol	CLX
Block Explorer	https://calixchain.io/scan

2. Use the Testnet

For experimentation, use Calix Testnet — no real CLX required. Add it to your wallet and grab free tokens from the faucet.

Field	Value
Network Name	Calix Testnet
RPC URL	https://rpc-test.calixchain.io
Chain ID	9999 (0x270F)
Currency Symbol	tCLX
Faucet	https://faucet.calixchain.io

3. Explore the chain

Browse blocks, transactions, tokens, and contract activity on Calix Scan — the native block explorer. No wallet required to read chain state.

4. Connect with ethers.js

Query the chain or build a dApp using any JSON-RPC library:

import { ethers } from "ethers";

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider("https://calixchain.io/rpc");
const blockNumber = await provider.getBlockNumber();
console.log("Latest block:", blockNumber);

Subscribe to new blocks over WebSocket:

const ws = new ethers.WebSocketProvider("wss://calixchain.io/rpc/ws");

ws.on("block", (blockNumber) => {
  console.log("New block:", blockNumber);
});
