wallet_changeNetwork

Switch the selected network within the wallet.

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 and obtained account read permissions.

You can fetch the networks that the user's wallet is currently connected to, using wallet_getNetwork.

• prompt the user to switch their Xverse wallet to the network your app specified.

• 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 event which your app can catch.

Your app can then fetch the user's active Xverse account under the new network with the wallet_getAccount method.
