Troubleshooting

Wrong network RPC error checklist

Use chain IDs, hex IDs, RPC URLs, explorers, and source links to debug configuration mismatches. This page does not rank RPC providers or diagnose wallet software.

Checklist

  1. Confirm the intended chain row on Main.net and open its primary source links.
  2. Compare the decimal chain ID with the hexadecimal chain ID used by JSON-RPC.
  3. Call eth_chainId on the configured RPC endpoint and compare the response.
  4. Confirm the explorer URL and gas token belong to the same chain row.
  5. Regenerate wallet configuration from the EIP-3085 JSON before copying settings.
  6. For production apps, use dedicated infrastructure and monitoring rather than relying on a shared public RPC endpoint.

Common mismatch points

Decimal vs hex chain ID
Many docs show decimal IDs, while JSON-RPC returns hexadecimal IDs such as 0x2105 for Base.
RPC URL from another network
An endpoint can respond successfully while still reporting a different chain ID than the app expects.
Copied wallet settings
Copied settings can become stale. Prefer rows with source links and regenerate EIP-3085 JSON from the latest fields.
