๐ŸŒSetup & Configure RPCs & Networks

1๏ธโƒฃ What is RPC and why is it important?

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is the gateway that connects your crypto wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, OKX Wallet, Pulse Wallet, IM Walletโ€ฆ) to a blockchain (PulseChain, Ethereum, BSC, Base, Arbitrumโ€ฆ).

Every time you:

  • Open your wallet

  • Check your balance

  • Swap tokens on Liberty Swap Finance

  • Sign or send a transaction

Your wallet sends requests to the blockchain through an RPC server.

If the RPC is slow, overloaded, or broken, your wallet will appear to malfunction โ€” even though your assets are still safely stored on-chain.

2๏ธโƒฃ When do you need to change RPC?

You should consider changing your RPC when you experience any of the following:

โŒ Your token balance shows as zero

Even though you know the funds are there.

โŒ Transactions stay pending forever

Or get stuck on โ€œConfirmingโ€ฆโ€

โŒ Liberty Swap Finance does not load correctly

Pools, prices, or swap functions fail to display.

โŒ Errors such as

โ€œFailed to fetchโ€, โ€œRPC errorโ€, โ€œNetwork errorโ€

โŒ The blockchain feels slow or unresponsive

The default RPC is congested or temporarily down.

3๏ธโƒฃ The solution: Change or add another RPC

An RPC is just a connection server. Changing RPC means:

  • You are switching to another gateway to the same blockchain

  • Your wallet, funds, and private keys remain unchanged

  • Security is not affected

Think of it like:

If a website is slow, you switch to a different server or DNS to access it faster.

๐Ÿ“˜ HOW TO CHANGE OR ADD A CUSTOM RPC

4๏ธโƒฃ How to add or change RPC in your wallet

This works for: MetaMask, Rabby, OKX Wallet, IM Wallet, Pulse Wallet, Trust Wallet (EVM mode)

Step 1

Open your wallet โ†’ Click the Network Selector (Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, etc.)

Step 2

Select โ€œAdd Networkโ€ or โ€œCustom RPCโ€

Step 3

Fill in the following fields:

Field
Description

Network Name

Display name

RPC URL

Node endpoint

Chain ID

Blockchain ID

Currency Symbol

Native coin

Block Explorer URL

Transaction explorer

Step 4

Click Save โ†’ Switch to the new network โ†’ Done

5๏ธโƒฃ Advanced tip: Use multiple RPCs for stability

Some wallets (Rabby, IM Wallet, Pulse Wallet) allow you to add multiple RPC URLs for the same network.

This enables:

  • Automatic failover if one RPC goes down

  • Faster data loading

  • More reliable swaps and transactions

6๏ธโƒฃ Security notes

โœ” RPC servers cannot access or steal your funds โœ” They only read blockchain data and relay transactions โ— However, malicious RPCs could:

  • Show incorrect balances

  • Redirect you to fake networks

Always use RPCs from:

  • Official blockchain websites

  • Project documentation
