Switch network
- Tap the network name at the top of the screen to open Choose network.
- Pick a network. Your balances, Send, Receive and history switch to that network.
To change which networks appear in the list, go to Menu → Manage networks ("Select your networks"). It shows your Active networks: and Disabled networks:. Open a network and tap Disable network to hide it ("Turn off the network in your wallet, reactivate it at any time.").
- Coming soon: Clone network.
- Platform note: the extension and the Telegram app remember the last network you used.
Good to know
- Networks are separate. Assets on one network don't appear on another. Always send on the network the recipient expects, and check the network shown on Receive before you share your address.
- One-time setup per network. The first time you use your smart account on a network, it has to be deployed. See "Smart contract wallet account needs to be deployed".
- Network fees are paid in that network's own token: ETH, MATIC, AVAX or BNB.
