# Use with Metamask
Using free, public blockchain RPC can sometimes lead to slower page loads in dApps, or worst-case, make them not work at all. However, it is possible to use premium paid RPC endpoints, such as Fiews, to ensure a better experience.
Using Metamask with Fiews has some benefits, including, but not limited to:
* Access to a pool of blockchain nodes, used by production apps and Chainlink nodes, among others
* Proprietary TX broadcasting logic, ensuring your transactions are broadcast across the network, reducing the wait times for miners and explorers to pick up your transactions.
Here's a quick guide on how you can use Metamask with Fiews:

If you already have a Fiews subscription, feel free to skip to **Step 2**.
{% endhint %}
## Step 1: Get a Fiews subscription
Head over to [the Fiews dashboard](https://dashboard.fiews.io/register) and create a new subscription. Once activated, it will look something like this:
Take note of the RPC URL for the network you want to use. The RPC URL will begin with `https://...`. Keep in mind that these URLs contain your private API key, and should not be shared with anyone.
## Step 2: Set up Metamask
In Metamask, you can choose to either add a new network or edit the RPC of an existing network you've previously added.
### Option A: Adding a new network
In your Metamask, click the network name you're currently connected to, and click the **"Add network"** button at the bottom of the list.
Here you'll have to fill out 5 fields:
**Network name:** This is a name for you to identify which network this configuration is for. For instance, you can name Polygon **"Polygon Fiews"**.\
**New RPC URL:** This is the RPC URL for the network. You'll find the Fiews RPC URL as described in **Step 1** of this guide.\
**Chain ID:** This is the chain ID for this network. Check out the table below if you're not sure.\
**Currency Symbol:** This is the ticker of the currency used on this chain, e.g. "ETH" or "MATIC". Check out the table below if you're not sure.\
**Block Explorer URL:** Give it the link of the block explorer of this chain, so you can quickly view your transactions in this explorer. Check out the table below if you're not sure.
### Option B: Modifying an existing network
{% hint style="info" %}
Metamask does not allow you to change the RPC URL for Ethereum mainnet. If you want to use Fiews for Ethereum you'll have to add a new network to Metamask.
{% endhint %}
In Metamask, click the account visualization in the top right corner. Then click **Settings**. Scroll down and click **Networks**.
From this list, find the network you want to change and click it.
You will be given the same input fields as in option A, except pre-filled with the values you already had. The only thing you want to change is the **New RPC URL** field, which will be the Fiews RPC URL as described in Step 1.
## Step 3: Use the updated network! 🎉
The network should now be ready, and you can select it in the network dropdown in Metamask. When using the network you created/updated, you are using a Fiews RPC endpoint!
