HECO (Huobi ECO Chain) is a decentralized, high-performance public blockchain launched by Huobi Global. It supports smart contracts and is compatible with Ethereum tools. Users access HECO for DeFi apps, token swaps, and secure digital asset management.
To use these features, a secure HECO log in is essential. Whether you’re connecting through MetaMask, WalletConnect, or a hardware wallet, logging in gives you full control over your assets. This guide will help you understand how to access your HECO wallet, fix login issues, and keep your account safe.
There is no username-password login for HECO. Instead, you connect your wallet to interact with dApps on the HECO network. Here's how:
Download the MetaMask extension
Create or import your wallet
Add the HECO network using these details:
Network Name: HECO Mainnet
New RPC URL: https://http-mainnet.hecochain.com
Chain ID: 128
Currency Symbol: HT
Block Explorer URL: https://hecoinfo.com
Once added, select HECO network in MetaMask
Visit any dApp like mdex.com
Click Connect Wallet and choose MetaMask
Choose WalletConnect if you're on mobile
Scan the QR code using a wallet app like Trust Wallet
Approve the connection
Security Tip: Only connect your wallet to trusted dApps. Never share your seed phrase.
Sometimes you may face issues when trying to log in. Here’s how to fix them:
Go to Settings > Networks > Add Network
Enter the correct HECO Mainnet details
Make sure you have enough HT (Huobi Token) for gas fees
Check the network status on HECOInfo
Refresh the browser
Disconnect and reconnect MetaMask
Clear site cookies if the dApp isn’t responding
Use an alternate RPC URL like https://heco.chainup.net if the default one fails.
