Network Switching using Metamask in HTML and JavaScript
In this article, we’ll explore how to implement network switching functionality using the MetaMask browser extension on top of HTML and JavaScript. We’ll create a simple example that demonstrates how to switch between different blockchain networks (e.g., Ethereum and Matic).
What is Network Switching?
Network switching allows users to easily switch between different blockchain networks, such as Ethereum or Matic, without having to update their wallet software. This feature is particularly useful for users who want to use multiple blockchain platforms on the same device.
Setting up MetaMask and a Blockchain Wallet
Before we dive into implementing network switching, you’ll need:
- A MetaMask browser extension is installed on your device.
- A blockchain wallet (e.g., Ethereum or Matic) that supports MetaMask extensions.
