Simple Summary

An method for the wallets to switch between TRON chains.

Abstract

This protocol allows DApps to call the wallets to switch to TRON chains. The calling DApp must provide the unique identifier of the chains to tell the wallets which particular TRON chain to switch to.

Motivation

Any DApp needs a chain to run, and some DApps only interact with a chain on TRON. This protocol will allow DApps to notify the wallets to switch to the corresponding chain, which improves user experience. Ethereum already has a similar protocol EIP-3326.

Specification

wallet_switchEthereumChain

Examples

try {
  await tron.request({
    method: 'wallet_switchEthereumChain',
    params: [{chainId: '0x2b6653dc'}]
  });
} catch (e) {}

Parameters

wallet_switchEthereumChain accepts an object, type is as follows:

interface SwitchEthereumChainParameter {
  chainId: string;
}

If the DApp does not provide a chainId, the wallet must reject the request. About chainId:

• The chainId must be obtained through the RPC method of TRON's eth_chainId.
• wallet must know chainId
• wallet must be able to switch chains based on chainId

Returns

If successful, returns null. If failed, an error code and an error message will be returned. See the Error Code section for details.

Error Code

Error Code	Name	Description
-32002	Other requests are being processed	current DApp is processed, it cannot execute the request
-32602	Invalid params	invalid parameters, or added additional parameters
4902	Invalid chainId	only some chainIds are supported, see the Parameters section for details
4001	User rejected request	the user has rejected this request
4200	Unsupported method	unsupported method

Backwards Compatibility

This protocol has no impact on existing wallets and DApps, but it is recommended that all wallets and DApps implement this protocol.
