# Add or Switch to Harmony chain on Metamask

Harmony is a multi-sharded chain, currently with shard 0, 1, 2 and 3 running on Mainnet.  To execute the code snippet below successfull, you can test on a device that has Metamask extension / add-on installed and visible to your app.

```javascript
// Harmony's Shard ID {0..3}
const shardId = 0;

try {
  const walletAddEthereumChainRequest = await ethereum.request({
    method: 'wallet_addEthereumChain',
    params: [
      {
        chainId: '0x' + Number(1666600000 + shardId).toString(16),
        chainName: 'Harmony Mainnet Shard ' + shardId,
        nativeCurrency: { name: 'ONE', symbol: 'ONE', decimals: 18 },
        rpcUrls: ['https://' + (shardId === 0 ? 'api.harmony.one' : 'api.s' + shardId + '.t.hmny.io')],
        blockExplorerUrls: ['https://explorer.harmony.one/'],
      },
    ],
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}
```
