Connecting To Your Shared GoChain Node

Note:  Both Shared and individual nodes are launched from the same page.  If you choose Blockdaemon as your cloud provider, it is a shared node. If you choose AWS or Google  then it is an individual/personal node

Connecting to your GoChain node varies slightly depending on whether it's a shared or personal node:

Shared Node connection instructions

Select your GoChainn node from your list of available nodes

Once your node is synced and ready, click on the connect tab in the action menu.

Step 2: Choose connection method / shared

Copy your node's IP address (http://gochain-mainnet.bdnodes.net:8545).

There a number of wallets to connect to your shared GoChain node, but the easiest, we believe, is via MetaMask

Connecting to MetaMask with Shared Nodes

In MetaMask extension / app: 

1. Select the drop-down arrow on the top left next to the fox:

   Select Custom RPC 

Enter in Settings the New RPC URL  (http://gochain-mainnet.bdnodes.net:8545)

Select Save

You are now connected
