Customize endpoint/provider

Change your network's configuration to ensure a stable connection.

Understand network status

The connection of a network will not always be stable. When a network experiences high traffic or the endpoint/provider becomes unstable, network congestion may occur, making users unable to make any transactions on that network.

For each network, there are 3 network statuses that can occur. At SubWallet, we differentiate these statuses by displaying them with different wifi icon colors.

Wifi icon color	Displayed in wallet	Meaning & Action needed
Grey		The network connection is unavailable. Please turn off the network and enable it back or change to another provider to restore network connection.
Yellow		The network connection is unstable. Please turn off the network and enable it back or change to another provider to restore network connection.
Green		The network connection is normal.

Personalize your network's endpoint/provider

Step 1: Open the SubWallet extension and click on the icon at the top left corner to get to the Settings section.

Step 2: In the Settings section, choose "Manage networks".

Step 3: Customize your provider by clicking the pencil icon next to the network for which you want to customize the provider.

In this example, we are choosing Aleph Zero.

Step 4: In the Network detail section, click on the provider URL.

If your selected network has only one provider, consider adding another provider/endpoint to rotate when the connection becomes unstable/lagging.

Step 5: A modal will appear. Choose the provider you want to use from the list.

If you want to use a provider outside our list, click "Add new provider".

Step 6: Click "Save". You have successfully changed the endpoint of your chosen network!
