How to change RPC in Metamask

If you are facing any transaction delays or if data is taking too long to load on KyberSwap, it could be due to congestion on the blockchain network that you are using. Since some Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoints may be more congested than others at a given time, so changing the RPC endpoint URL that your web3 wallet uses to connect to the network may sometimes give a better experience.

In this guide, we will show you how to specify an alternate RPC endpoint for Metamask to connect to the Polygon network.

Step 1: Open your Metamask wallet and click on “My accounts” (the circular button at the top right of the window) and then click on “Settings”.

Step 2: Go to Networks and click the “Add Network” button.

This will open up a browser tab with more Metamask Settings.

Step 3: Click “Add a network manually” to proceed.

Step 4: On the screen that appears, specify the new network. For the purposes of this guide we are going to specify an alternate Polygon Mainnet connection setting named “Polygon Mainnet 2”.

Under “New RPC URL” change the URL to the RPC URL that you would like to use. (For a list of public RPC URLs and private RPC providers on the Polygon network, please refer to .) For this example we’re using

Click the “Save” button when you are done.

The newly defined network that uses the new RPC should now appear in your Networks list.

I cannot connect my Metamask wallet

Metamask is one of the most popular web3 wallets among KyberSwap users, so it can be surprising to find that Metamask sometimes cannot be selected to use with : the “Connect” button either does nothing or the Metamask option is simply greyed out and unselectable on the “Connect your Wallet” screen. This is not intended behavior.

There are a couple of things you can try to resolve this.

Ensure that the Metamask extension is installed on your browser.
Ensure that your Metamask wallet is unlocked with your password. Your wallet extension may also be waiting for confirmation from you to connect to KyberSwap.
If you have either or both Trust Wallet and/or Coin98 wallet extensions installed, go into their extension settings and disable the options making them the default wallet. These wallet extensions have been known to set themselves as the default wallet, overriding other wallets like Metamask.

If these steps do not solve the problem, please take screenshots of what you’re seeing and contact .

How do I restore my old KyberSwap App wallet?

KyberSwap used to have an app with a web3 wallet, but support for that app was discontinued as of 30 June 2021. The app is now obsolete.

If you still have this app installed on your device, you will find that it is no longer possible to send funds using the app. However, as is the case with any web3 wallet, you can simply restore the wallet to a different web3 wallet client (e.g. Metamask) using the KyberSwap app wallet’s backup secret. To avoid permanent loss of funds, we recommend that you endeavor to do this as soon as possible.

To find your backup secret, simply follow the following steps in the app.

Step 1: Tap on Settings > Manage Wallets

Step 2: Tap on the wallet you would like to back up

Step 3: Tap Edit > Show Backup Phrase

Step 4: When prompted, enter your app Passcode

Step 5: Tap “Choose your backup method” > Continue

If your wallet was imported, the app will provides two backup methods: Keystore & Private Key.

If your wallet was created in the KyberSwap app, the app will provide three backup methods: Keystore, Private Key, or 12-word Seed phrase.

Once you have obtained your secret, keep it safe and do not share it with anyone else. Use the secret to restore your wallet to an up-to-date web3 wallet client and you will once again have access to your funds.
