# Network selector

## Definition

A network selector is a wallet interface control that chooses which blockchain context the wallet is currently displaying or using for an action.

## What it means in practice

Changing networks can change balances, fee assets, transaction history, dApp compatibility and Chain ID even if an EVM account address stays the same.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval's multi-network interface uses explicit network context and wrong-network safeguards to help users distinguish supported chains.

**Important:** Select the intended network before receiving, sending or connecting to a dApp.
