Why Switch Network/Address

When using the MetaMask wallet, you need to switch chains, which is related to the characteristics of Web3.

Web3 is built on different blockchains, each with its own ecosystem and applications.

For example, the Ethereum blockchain has rich smart contract applications, and many DeFi projects and NFT markets are based on it.

The Binance Smart Chain has fast transaction speed and low fees, attracting many users and projects that pursue efficient and low - cost transactions. When you want to access applications or assets on a specific chain, you must switch to the corresponding chain.

If you don't, the wallet can't recognize the assets and transactions on that chain. Switching chains allows the wallet to connect to the target blockchain network and smoothly interact with Web3 applications on the chain.

In the Web3 world, different blockchains have their own unique ecosystems. So, when using a wallet, it's crucial to choose a compatible wallet and switch to the correct chain. MetaMask is a well - known Ethereum wallet, mainly suitable for Ethereum and its compatible side - chains.

It supports the rich smart contract applications on Ethereum, such as various decentralized finance (DeFi) projects and non - fungible token (NFT) markets.

If you want to participate in these Ethereum - based applications, just switch MetaMask to the Ethereum mainnet or relevant side - chains.

In short, when you enter the Web3 field and want to participate in projects and applications on different blockchains, first choose a wallet compatible with the blockchain, and then switch to the corresponding chain in the wallet according to your needs. This ensures that you can carry out various operations smoothly and fully enjoy the convenience and fun that Web3 brings.
