# Getting Started with ClubMOS Blockchain

Most activity on the ClubMOS Blockchain occurs through decentralized applications (dApps), including:

* Decentralized exchanges (DEX)
* Staking platforms
* NFT marketplaces
* Governance portals
* Token issuance platforms
* Business and enterprise tools

To interact with these applications, you need a Web3 wallet that connects your browser to the blockchain network.

***

## MetaMask

MetaMask is one of the most widely used EVM-compatible wallet extensions.

It allows users to:

* Store private keys securely
* Sign blockchain transactions
* Deploy and interact with smart contracts
* Connect to decentralized applications
* Manage multiple networks from one interface

By default, MetaMask connects to Ethereum.

To use ClubMOS, you must manually add ClubMOS as a custom network.

***

## Using MetaMask with ClubMOS

With MetaMask, you can:

* Create a new wallet
* Import an existing wallet using a Secret Recovery Phrase
* Connect hardware wallets (Ledger, etc.)
* Use the same wallet address across EVM-compatible chains

Since ClubMOS is EVM-compatible:

* Wallet addresses use the standard 0x format
* Ethereum-based tools work seamlessly
* Smart contracts behave consistently

Once connected, you can use your **CMX balance** to pay gas fees and interact with dApps.

## ClubMOS Mainnet Configuration

Use the following details to connect to the ClubMOS Mainnet:

| Parameter         | Value                      |
| ----------------- | -------------------------- |
| Network Name      | ClubMOS                    |
| Currency Symbol   | CMX                        |
| Chain ID          | 2255                       |
| HTTP RPC Endpoint | <https://rpc.mosscan.com>  |
| WebSocket RPC     | wss\://mainnet.mosscan.com |
| Block Explorer    | <https://mosscan.com>      |

***

## ClubMOS Testnet Configuration

The Testnet is used for development and testing.

Testnet tokens have no monetary value.

| Parameter         | Value                             |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Network Name      | ClubMOS Testnet                   |
| Currency Symbol   | CMX                               |
| Chain ID          | 1155                              |
| HTTP RPC Endpoint | <https://rpc-testnet.mosscan.com> |
| WebSocket RPC     | wss\://testnet.mosscan.com        |
| Block Explorer    | <https://testnet.mosscan.com>     |
| Faucet            | <https://faucet.clubmos.com>      |

## What is the Difference Between HTTP RPC and WebSocket RPC?

#### HTTP RPC

Used for:

* Sending transactions
* Deploying smart contracts
* Reading blockchain data
* Querying balances

#### WebSocket RPC (WSS)

Used for:

* Real-time block updates
* Event subscriptions
* Smart contract event monitoring
* Live dApp updates
* `eth_subscribe` streaming

WebSocket enables persistent real-time connections, while HTTP is request-based.

## How to Add ClubMOS to MetaMask

1. Open MetaMask
2. Click the Network Selector (top dropdown)
3. Select **Add Network**
4. Choose **Add a network manually**
5. Enter the ClubMOS network details (Mainnet or Testnet)
6. Click **Save**
7. Switch to the ClubMOS network

Once added, you can:

* Send and receive CMX
* Interact with smart contracts
* Approve token transactions
* Provide liquidity
* Stake CMX
* Participate in governance
* Deploy CRC-compatible tokens

***

## Transaction Model

When using ClubMOS:

* All transactions require CMX as gas
* Average block time is \~2 seconds
* Transactions have deterministic finality
* Gas fees are predictable and low
* State transitions are EVM-compatible

***

## Faucet (Testnet Only)

To test applications on Testnet, request free test CMX tokens from:

<https://faucet.clubmos.com>

Faucet tokens are required to:

* Deploy test contracts
* Execute transactions
* Simulate staking
* Test governance interactions

***

## Developer Compatibility

ClubMOS is compatible with:

* MetaMask
* Hardhat
* Remix
* Foundry
* Web3.js
* Ethers.js

Simply configure:

* Chain ID
* RPC endpoint
* Currency symbol (CMX)

No custom wallet modifications are required.

***

## Why ClubMOS is Easy to Use

* Familiar MetaMask interface
* EVM-compatible infrastructure
* Fast \~2 second block time
* Low transaction costs
* Simple network configuration
* Real-time WebSocket support
* Transparent block explorer

ClubMOS combines beginner accessibility with infrastructure-grade reliability for developers and enterprises.
