Today, I will tell you how you can change the network in your Metamask Wallet. If you are new to crypto and didn't know how to use Metamask wallet, this post is definitely a must-read for you.


Why we switch between different networks? There are many different networks in cryptocurrency blockchains, the very first network & most popular network is Ethereum Mainnet, but the gas fees in using Ethereum Mainnet is very high and not user friendly, that is why the other networks and chains like Binance Smart Chains (Very cheap gas fees), Arbitrum One Mainnet, and also Base Network (Created by Coinbase) are born. Some of those other networks provides very cheap gas fees and incentives to users, which make them more user-friendly and attract more users to use it.
