# wallet\_changeNetwork

## Switch the active network in the user's Xverse wallet 

The `wallet_changeNetwork` method allows your DApp to prompt the user's wallet to switch between different blockchain networks. This feature is essential for workflows that require switching networks, such as bridging assets between different chains or testing features on testnets.

The app must have first [connected to the wallet](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect/connecting-to-the-wallet/connect-to-xverse-wallet) and obtained [account read permissions.](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect/xverse-wallet-permissions) 

{% hint style="info" %}
You can fetch the networks that the user's wallet is currently connected to, using [`wallet_getNetwork`](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect/wallet-methods/wallet_getnetwork). 
{% endhint %}

### Parameters

```typescript
import Wallet from 'sats-connect';

async function example() {
  const res = await Wallet.request('wallet_changeNetwork', {
    name: 'Signet'
  });
  if (res.status === 'error') {
    console.error(res.error);
    return;
  }

  console.log(res.result);
}
```

## :white\_check\_mark: changeNetwork Result&#x20;

The method will&#x20;

* prompt the user to switch their Xverse wallet to the network your app specified.![](https://3630714736-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F33DLypUqgcjkBSmN0gZn%2Fuploads%2FWKYwVqbJYafeKtczHox2%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=cd585673-0bc0-40c8-8c6c-76815a33840f)
* return `null` if the user accepts to switch their wallet to the new network -> **Null response**

The account switch in the wallet will emit a [networkChange](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect/xverse-wallet-events#networkchange-event) event which your app can catch.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your app can then fetch the user's active Xverse account under the new network with the [`wallet_getAccount`](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect/wallet-methods/wallet_getaccount) method.
