Chain

The chain icon represents a blockchain or a chain of blocks, which is a decentralized and distributed digital ledger technology. The chain icon is often used in user interfaces to indicate a secure and transparent way to conduct transactions.

In terms of real-world applications, the chain icon may appear in blockchain-based applications, cryptocurrency exchange platforms, or digital wallets, where users can access and manage blockchain-based features. It may also be used in user interfaces to provide a clear and intuitive way to access blockchain-based features.

From a UX perspective, the chain icon communicates the idea of security and transparency, which is essential for users who value safe and secure transactions. The icon helps users understand that the platform or application they are using provides a secure and transparent way to conduct transactions.

Chain is one of 483 icons in Cryptocurrency Icons, made by Christopher Downer and released under CC0 1.0. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds ChainIcon to components/icons/cryptocurrency-chain.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed ChainIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Chain icon, or any of 483 Cryptocurrency Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 32 × 32 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Chain", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. ChainIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ChainIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

CC0 1.0 puts the icons in the public domain: use them anywhere, with no conditions. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No. CC0 1.0 gives the icons to the public domain, so no credit and no notice is required. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI still start with a comment naming Cryptocurrency Icons, Christopher Downer and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
