Network Configuration

Switch Network on Testnet

On Testnet, you can switch between Rinkeby, Ropsten, and Kovan. Default is Rinkeby.

import Fortmatic from 'fortmatic';
import Web3 from 'web3';

// Default is Rinkeby
const fm = new Fortmatic('YOUR_TEST_API_KEY');
window.web3 = new Web3(fm.getProvider());

// Setting testnet network to Ropsten
const fm = new Fortmatic('YOUR_TEST_API_KEY', 'ropsten');
window.web3 = new Web3(fm.getProvider());

// Setting testnet network to Kovan
const fm = new Fortmatic('YOUR_TEST_API_KEY', 'kovan');
window.web3 = new Web3(fm.getProvider());

Switch Network to Custom Node

You can choose to use your own node, like a development test node or a sidechain. We currently support:

• Matic : node url under matic.com domain

  • Testnet URL: https://testnet2.matic.network

  • Mainnet URL: https://alpha.ethereum.matic.network

• Skale: node url under skalenode.com domain

  • Get started with requesting a Skale node: https://skale.network/docs/developers/getting-started/beginner

• Localhost: node url with localhost or 127.0.0.1

Please contact us at our support channel if you want to use other nodes.

import Fortmatic from 'fortmatic';
import Web3 from 'web3';

const customNodeOptions = {
    rpcUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:7545', // your own node url
    chainId: 1011 // chainId of your own node
}

// Setting network to localhost blockchain
const fm = new Fortmatic('YOUR_TEST_API_KEY', customNodeOptions);
window.web3 = new Web3(fm.getProvider());
