| 2 | + |
| 3 | +If you're experiencing issues with blockchain network switching in the FxBlox app, this guide will help you resolve common problems. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Understanding Blockchain Networks |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The FxBlox app supports multiple blockchain networks: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- **SKALE** - The default chain for most users |
| 10 | +- **Base** - Available for users with authorization codes |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Common Issue: Persistent "Switch Chain" Button |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +If the app continues to show a "Switch to Chain" button even after you've selected the correct chain in MetaMask, follow these troubleshooting steps: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### Symptoms |
| 17 | +- The "Switch to Chain" button appears on the home page, pools page, or chain selection page |
| 18 | +- Button remains visible even after selecting the correct chain in MetaMask |
| 19 | +- App doesn't recognize that you're on the correct network |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### Solution Steps |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Follow these steps in order to resolve the chain switching issue: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +#### Step 1: Verify MetaMask Network |
| 26 | +1. **Open MetaMask** in your browser or mobile app |
| 27 | +2. **Check the network selector** at the top of MetaMask |
| 28 | +3. **Ensure you're connected** to the chain you want to use: |
| 29 | + - **SKALE Mainnet** (default) |
| 30 | + - **Base** (if you have authorization) |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +:::tip |
| 33 | +Make sure the network name in MetaMask exactly matches what the FxBlox app expects. Sometimes custom network names can cause recognition issues. |
| 34 | +::: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +#### Step 2: Close Both Applications |
| 37 | +1. **Close the FxBlox app** completely |
| 38 | + - On mobile: Swipe up and close the app from recent apps |
| 39 | + - On desktop: Close the browser tab or application window |
| 40 | +2. **Close MetaMask** completely |
| 41 | + - Close all MetaMask browser tabs or mobile app instances |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +#### Step 3: Restart FxBlox App |
| 44 | +1. **Open the FxBlox app** fresh |
| 45 | +2. **Navigate to the page** where you see the "Switch to Chain" button |
| 46 | + - This could be the home page, pools page, or chain selection page |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +#### Step 4: Initiate Chain Switch |
| 49 | +1. **Click the "Switch to Chain" button** in the FxBlox app |
| 50 | +2. **MetaMask will automatically open** and prompt for network switching |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +#### Step 5: Wait for MetaMask Processing |
| 53 | +1. **Wait a few seconds** after MetaMask opens |
| 54 | +2. **Look for the "Return to App" prompt** in MetaMask |
| 55 | +3. **This indicates the chain switch was successful** |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +:::success |
| 58 | +When you see "Return to App" in MetaMask, it means the network switching process completed successfully. |
| 59 | +::: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +#### Step 6: Return to FxBlox App |
| 62 | +1. **Click "Return to App"** in MetaMask or switch back to the FxBlox app |
| 63 | +2. **The "Switch to Chain" button should now disappear** |
| 64 | +3. **Your app should now be properly connected** to the selected network |
| 65 | + |

| 71 | +- **Ensure you have the latest version** of both FxBlox app and MetaMask |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +### Network Configuration Issues |

| 76 | +- **Contact support** if you believe you should have access to a specific chain |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +### MetaMask Connection Problems |
| 79 | +- **Refresh the MetaMask extension** if it appears unresponsive |
