Managing Networks
Moi Wallet supports multiple MOI network environments. You can use the default mainnet or testnet, or add a custom RPC node for development or private networks.
Supported network types
- Mainnet — the live MOI network for real transactions and assets
- Testnet — a test environment for development and experimentation (no real value)
- Custom RPC — any MOI-compatible node you configure manually
Switch between networks
Use the network selector in the top bar or header of the app or extension popup:
- Tap or click the current network name
- Select a different network from the list
- The wallet switches context and begins syncing state for the selected network
Balances, transaction history, and account registration status are network-specific. Switching networks does not affect your seed phrase or accounts — only the network context changes.
Some features are network-specific. DApp connections, account registration, and transaction history apply to the currently selected network. Before interacting with a DApp or sending a transaction, confirm you are on the correct network.
Add a custom network
To connect to a custom MOI RPC endpoint:
- Go to Settings → Networks
- Tap or click Add Network
- Enter the required details:
- Network Name — a label you will recognise (e.g.
MOI Devnet) - RPC URL — the HTTP or HTTPS endpoint for the node (e.g.
https://rpc.example.com) - Chain ID — the numeric chain identifier for the network
- Explorer URL (optional) — a block explorer link for viewing transactions
- Network Name — a label you will recognise (e.g.
- Tap or click Save
The new network appears in the network switcher and can be selected like any default network.
Tips
Only add RPC URLs from sources you trust. A malicious RPC node could display incorrect balances or relay fraudulent transaction data.
When experimenting with new DApps or account setups, use testnet first. This lets you verify behaviour without risking real assets.
