KyberSwap supports the trading of more than 20,000 tokens across the majority of the most established DeFi chains. KyberSwap provides seamless access to liquidity across chains directly from the KyberSwap app. For the full list of chains which KyberSwap has been integrated with, you can refer to Supported Exchanges and Networks.
To protect transactions on Ethereum against MEV strategies, KyberSwap provides users with the option to select MEV protected RPCs such as Flashbots and MEVBlocker. Transactions via such RPCs will undergo a different transaction ordering process and therefore enjoy protection from multiple MEV strategies.
It is important that you understand the pros and cons of using MEV protected RPCs. This will help you make an informed decision as to the suitability of such RPCs with regards to your DeFi goals. MEV protected RPCs will be indicated with the green shield icon.
Flashbots
What is Flashbots?
Flashbots Protect RPC allows regular users to easily submit their transactions to the Flashbots Auction by using a custom RPC endpoint in their wallet. Everything should be the same for users, except transactions are sent to the Flashbots builder instead of the public mempool.
Key benefits to using the Flashbots RPC endpoint:
Frontrunning protection: your transaction will not be seen by hungry sandwich bots in the public mempool.
No failed transactions: your transaction will only be included if it doesn't include any reverts, so you don't pay for failed transactions.
Note: your transaction could be uncled, emitted to the mempool, and then included on-chain.
Privacy notice: Flashbots Protect RPC does not track any kind of user information (i.e. IP, location, etc.). No user information is ever stored or even logged.

KyberSwap provides its user the option to conveniently connect to the Flashbots RPC when trading on the Ethereum mainnet.
MEVBlocker
What is MEVBlocker?
MEV Blocker facilitates an auction between a network of “searchers” who are given the opportunity to backrun your transactions. In return, they protect you from frontrunning and sandwich attacks - the nasty types of MEV that exploit Ethereum users every day.
KyberSwap provides its user the option to conveniently connect to the MEVBlocker RPC when trading on the Ethereum mainnet.

Switching your active network
Step 1: Connect your wallet
Upon connecting your wallet, KyberSwap would have automatically defaulted to the network per your wallet's setting. You can view the active network on the top right of the KyberSwap app.
In the example above, KyberSwap has connected to the Ethereum Mainnet as per the MetaMask setting.
Step 2: Switch networks
To change the network, you can select the dropdown which will display the full list of chain options for you to choose from. Please refer to Supported Exchanges And Networks for the full details.
Select your preferred chain and you should then be prompted by your wallet to confirm the network change.
MEV protection
KyberSwap enables users to select MEV protected RPCs. Please refer to MEV protection on Ethereum for further details.
If this is your first time connecting to a chain, your wallet provider should display the details of the chain for your verification. The below is an example of adding the Polygon chain and confirming the chain switch using MetaMask.
Once the switch has been approved, KyberSwap would then be connected to your selected network as can be verified via the active chain displayed in the top right of the KyberSwap app.
Bonus: Favourite your most used networks
You can drag-and-drop your most used networks into your favourite chains section for easy access:
