# Choose your Chain ID

Choose a Chain ID that uniquely identifies your chain. It will be used to set up MetaMask later.

```
98989897
```

Check that the Chain ID it not taken already using <https://chainlist.org/?testnets=true>.

MetaMask uses ChainList to suggest chain details such as name and currency, and will complain if you use an existing Chain ID. So make sure to choose a new unique Chain ID.

If you will deploy your chain for public use, then add your chain to [ChainList](https://chainlist.org/) as well.
