RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call. It is a protocol that allows a program or application to request a service from another program or application on a remote computer or network. In the context of blockchain technology, RPC is commonly used to interact with blockchain nodes or networks.

In the case of Trust Wallet, RPC is used to communicate with the blockchain network and perform various operations such as querying balances, sending transactions, retrieving transaction history, and interacting with smart contracts.

The RPC endpoint or URL specifies the network location where the blockchain node or service is hosted. By connecting to the RPC endpoint, applications like Trust Wallet can send requests to the blockchain network and receive responses, enabling users to interact with the blockchain and manage their digital assets.

Each blockchain network typically has its own RPC endpoint, which provides access to its functionalities and data. It is important to use the correct RPC endpoint for the desired network to ensure proper connectivity and compatibility with the blockchain network you intend to interact with.

What might lead you to change your RPC?

There are a few situations where someone might consider changing the RPC settings in Trust Wallet:

Switching Networks: If you want to connect to a different blockchain network, such as moving from Ethereum to Binance Smart Chain or vice versa, you would need to change the RPC. Each blockchain network has its own RPC endpoint, so updating the RPC allows you to switch between different networks and access their specific features and assets.

Custom Network Configuration: In some cases, you might want to connect to a custom or private blockchain network. Changing the RPC settings allows you to specify the endpoint for that specific network, enabling you to interact with it using Trust Wallet.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues: If you're experiencing difficulties connecting to the blockchain network or encountering slow response times, changing the RPC can help. By switching to an alternative RPC endpoint, you may be able to establish a more stable and reliable connection.

The primary interest in changing the RPC is to connect to a different blockchain network or customize the network configuration. It allows you to access different assets, explore various decentralized applications (DApps), and benefit from the unique features and functionalities offered by specific blockchain networks.

Additionally, changing the RPC can help you troubleshoot connectivity issues, improving the overall performance and user experience of Trust Wallet when interacting with the blockchain. It gives you the flexibility to adapt and connect to the network that best suits your needs or resolves any technical difficulties you may encounter.

Change the RPC in Trust Wallet

To change the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) settings in Trust Wallet, you can follow these steps:

• Open Trust Wallet: Launch the Trust Wallet app on your device.

• Access Settings: Look for the settings icon, usually represented by three horizontal lines or dots, typically located in the bottom right or top right corner of the app. Tap on it to open the Settings menu.

• Select Networks: Within the Settings menu, you should find an option called "Networks" or "Network Settings." Tap on it to proceed.

• Choose the Current Network: You'll see a list of available networks such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, etc. Select the network for which you want to change the RPC.

• Edit RPC: On the network page, you will find the RPC settings. Look for an option like "RPC URL" or "Custom RPC" and tap on it to edit.

• Enter New RPC Details: In the RPC URL field, enter the new URL or endpoint of the desired blockchain network. You may need to obtain the specific RPC details from the network's official documentation or trusted sources. Make sure to enter the correct URL to connect to the desired network.

• Save Changes: After entering the new RPC details, look for a "Save" or "Confirm" button on the page. Tap on it to save the changes.

• Verify Connection: Once the changes are saved, Trust Wallet will attempt to connect to the new RPC. It may take a moment to establish the connection. If the connection is successful, you should see the network updated with the new RPC details.

That's it! You have successfully changed the RPC settings in Trust Wallet to connect to a different blockchain network. Remember to verify the RPC details from a reliable source to ensure you are connecting to the correct network.
