Known issues

  • If the sidechain network was added correctly, but MetaMask does not send transactions, update balance, or simply not interact with the chain, then try to Reset your MetaMask account.
  • The team has tested MetaMask compatibility with the sidechain using Google Chrome and Brave web browsers. To avoid browser compatibility issues, use the same browsers.
