How to change RPC on Metamask

Have you ever faced one of these issues?

  • The balance doesn’t show up correctly.

  • Things keep loading forever.

  • Can not send or make transactions on any tokens.

  • Keep getting errors on any transaction.

  • Gas fee estimation is unavailable.

It’s possible that the RPC network was down or congested. To overcome these issues, let’s try to change the RPC.

Steps

  1. Go to Chainlist — where you can explore and easily add new networks to your Metamask wallet.

  2. Select a network that you are using. I select Arbitrum as an example.

  3. Select one of these RPCs. The available ✅ one with the highest height, and the lowest latency, is preferred. Copy the URL of the selected one.

  4. Open Metamask -> Settings -> Networks -> Select a network then paste the URL to the New RPC URL.

That’s it! Enjoy your new RPC 🎉.
