Acquiring PHA

Phala tokens exist in multiple environments, and it is important for community members to correctly recognize and verify the token contracts they interact with.

​

PHA as an ERC-20 Token

PHA is an ERC-20 token and can be displayed, transferred, and managed in any EVM-compatible wallet, including:

• MetaMask
• Rabby
• Safe (Gnosis Safe)
• WalletConnect-compatible wallets

This means PHA can be used across the broader Ethereum ecosystem without special configuration.

​

What Is vPHA?

vPHA is the token generated from the Phala staking contract on Ethereum.
Users stake PHA → receive vPHA. vPHA serves several important roles:

• Community governance
• Staking on Phala L2
• Required collateral for GPU mining
• Utility token for future Phala L2 applications

Unlike PHA, vPHA is generally not used for transfers or payments — it represents staked value and governance power.

How to Add Phala L2 Network to Your Wallet

You can add Phala L2 to any EVM wallet (such as MetaMask or Rabby) by manually entering the official network details. Simply open “Add Network,” fill in: RPC https://rpc.phala.network, Chain ID 2035, Symbol ETH, and Explorer https://explorer.phala.network, then save. After adding the network, you may also import PHA and vPHA tokens using the correct contract addresses if needed. Once done, your wallet is ready to interact with Phala L2.

Always Verify Token Contract Addresses
