Switching Networks

As seen in the advanced example of getting started, it is possible to provide a "secretType" when creating the web3 Arkane provider. When you are connected to one network and want to switch to a different network:

• call changeSecretType(secretType) on the provider, this returns a new instance of the provider

• Re-initialize Web3: web3 = new Web3(provider);

• If necessary, recreate subscriptions

• Refresh wallets using web3.eth.getAccounts()(a user can have different wallets depending on the selected chain)

• 🎉 All done!

Example

Arkane.changeSecretType('BSC').then(provider => {
    window.web3 = new Web3(provider);
    window.web3.eth.getChainId().then(network => {
        //returns the new chainId
    });
    window.web3.eth.getAccounts(function (err, wallets) {
        //returns new wallets for given chain, update your UI accordingly 
    });
});
