How to Switch Between EVM Networks in OKX Wallet

Network Configuration Interface

1. Open OKX Wallet and navigate to the network selection dropdown located in the top-right corner of the interface.

2. Tap the current active chain name to reveal the full list of supported EVM-compatible networks.

3. Scroll through the categorized sections: “Popular”, “All Chains”, and “Custom” to locate the desired network.

4. Select the target chain — the wallet will instantly reload its balance, transaction history, and dApp connection status for that network.

5. A green indicator appears beside the selected network name to confirm successful activation.

Manual RPC Setup for Unsupported Chains

1. Access Settings > Network Management > Add Network manually.

2. Enter the exact Chain ID — mismatched IDs cause silent transaction failures; for example, X Layer testnet requires 195, not 196 or 1950.

3. Input the official RPC endpoint: https://rpc.x1.tech for mainnet or https://testrpc.x1.tech for testnet.

4. Paste the block explorer URL — https://www.oklink.com/x1 — to enable on-chain verification.

5. Confirm currency symbol matches native token: OKB for X Layer, ETH for Ethereum, and so on.

Multi-Chain Address Consistency

1. OKX Wallet generates a single address across all EVM chains — no need to re-import seed phrases or manage separate keys per network.

2. The same 0x-prefixed address functions identically on Ethereum, Base, BSC, X Layer, and over 140 other EVM-compatible chains.

3. Asset balances are isolated per chain but displayed in unified portfolio view with automatic USD valuation.

4. Cross-chain transfers require explicit bridge actions — switching networks does not auto-transfer tokens.

5. Token metadata (name, logo, decimals) is fetched dynamically from on-chain contracts, ensuring accuracy without manual token addition.

EIP-7702 Account Abstraction Integration

1. When EIP-7702 is enabled, the wallet displays a “Smart Account” badge next to the address on supported chains like Ethereum and X Layer.

2. Switching between EVM networks preserves the logic contract binding — users retain gasless transactions and session keys across chains.

3. Recovery settings configured under EIP-7702 apply universally — changing recovery modules affects all bound chains simultaneously.

4. Signature requests automatically route through the designated smart account proxy, eliminating repeated signature prompts during multi-chain workflows.

5. Transaction simulation respects chain-specific execution environments — failed simulations on one chain do not block submissions on another.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use the same wallet address to receive tokens on both Ethereum and X Layer?A: Yes. The same 0x address is valid across all EVM chains. However, tokens sent to that address on Ethereum will not appear on X Layer unless bridged.

Q: Why does my balance show zero after switching to Base network?A: Balances are chain-specific. If you hold no assets natively on Base, the wallet correctly displays zero — it does not aggregate balances across chains by default.

Q: Is there a way to batch-switch networks for multiple dApp connections?A: No. Each dApp connection must be individually authorized per network. OKX Wallet enforces strict per-chain permission isolation for security compliance.

Q: Does enabling MEV protection on one EVM chain affect others?A: No. MEV protection settings are transaction-scoped and chain-bound. Enabling --mev-protection on Ethereum does not extend to Solana or X Layer.
