The endpoint returned a different chain ID: 0x539 (Ganache)

Question

I am trying to connect Metamask to ganache by creating a custom RPC with the following details:

New RPC URL: HTTP://127.0.0.1:7545

Chain Id: 5777

But I keep getting the error message The endpoint returned a different chain ID: 0x539

Answer 1

You either need to update your custom MetaMask Network to match the default chainId returned by Ganache (which is 1337) or, if you are using ganache-cli use a command like ganache-cli --port 7545 --chainId 5777 to change the chainId to 5777.

If you are using Ganache GUI you can't change the chainId, so you'll need to change it in MetaMask instead.

Answer 2

Try locking the account and when you are asked to sign in again use the option import wallet using mnemonic or seed phrase copy that from ganache and should be good to go

Answer 3

You appear to be using Ganache GUI, so this may not directly help you, but I can at least provide an explanation.

With Metamask 8.1.3 and above, local Ganache-cli blockchains began breaking due to a mismatching ChainId.

Fixing with the CLI is a matter of:

• Upgrade ganache-cli to v.6.11.0 or above, then start it with the --chainId flag, for example: ganache-cli --deterministic -i 5777 --chainId 5777
• Then setup your custom RPC in Metamask with the same chainId.

You may be able to simply upgrade your Ganache GUI version and achieve the same thing.

Answer 4

I was having the same error and locking the metamask and using Ganache mnemonic worked for me.
