# Wallet Troubleshooting

### 🛠 Wallet Troubleshooting

Having trouble connecting your wallet to PredictBase? Here’s a quick guide to help you fix common issues and get back to predicting in no time.

***

#### ❌ Issue 1: Wallet Not Detected

**Symptoms:**

* “Connect Wallet” does nothing
* Site doesn't recognize MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet

**Solutions:**

* Ensure your wallet extension (like MetaMask) is installed and unlocked
* Refresh the page and try again
* Disable browser extensions like Brave Shield, ad blockers, or privacy blockers
* Try using [https://predictbase.app](https://predictbase.app) in **Chrome** or **Brave**

***

#### 🔄 Issue 2: Stuck on Wrong Network

**Symptoms:**

* You’re on Ethereum or another chain, and PredictBase doesn’t work properly

**Solutions:**

1. Open your wallet (MetaMask, etc.)
2. Switch to **Base Mainnet**
3. If Base isn’t listed, add it manually using:



**Network Name: Base Mainnet**&#x20;

**New RPC URL:** [**https://mainnet.base.org**](https://mainnet.base.org)&#x20;

**Chain ID: 8453**&#x20;

**Currency Symbol: ETH**&#x20;

**Block Explorer URL:** [**https://basescan.org**](https://basescan.org)



Most dApps (including PredictBase) will also auto-prompt the network switch.

#### 🛑 Issue 3: WalletConnect Isn’t Working

**Symptoms:**

* QR code doesn’t scan or connect
* Wallet app stuck on "Pending"

**Solutions:**

* Refresh the page and try reconnecting
* Use a different wallet app (like MetaMask Mobile or Trust Wallet)
* Make sure your mobile device is on the same WiFi network as your desktop (for better pairing)

#### ⚠️ Issue 4: Approvals or Bets Failing

**Symptoms:**

* Approve/Bet buttons show error
* Wallet says "transaction failed" or "insufficient funds"

**Solutions:**

* Make sure you have enough **USDC** for the bet
* Also check you have **ETH on Base** to cover gas fees
* Reconnect your wallet and try again
* Lower your gas settings or retry later during low network activity
