To view your account information and send transactions to blockchains, there are RPC nodes that provide information and accept transactions to be injected into the blockchain. These RPC nodes vary for different blockchains and are distributed globally. If you experience latency or delays while fetching information or sending transactions, you can manually switch the RPC node and choose the one that best suits your location.

To switch the RPC node in extension mode, you can select it via account settings as shown below:

In full-screen mode, you can change it by clicking on the signal icon located in the top right corner of the screen.

Note that you have the option to make yourself independent of these RPC nodes by using a light client, which is available for some chains at the end of the list of endpoints. However, please be aware that this feature is still experimental.
