Blockchains undergo scheduled upgrades (hard forks). This test monitors the app’s behavior during such an event. MetaMask should continue to function correctly on the new chain version. The app might display a notification informing users of the upgrade and any potential service interruptions. RPC providers might be briefly unavailable, and the app should handle this gracefully with appropriate error messages, not crashes. This tests the wallet’s resilience to fundamental changes in the underlying blockchain protocols it supports and its ability to keep users informed during critical network events. Staying updated on upcoming forks is essential, and the best place to find official announcements and guidance is always the blog of metamask. A successful test means the wallet operates normally before, during, and after the upgrade, proving its reliability as a foundational infrastructure component that users can depend on even as the core blockchain technology beneath it evolves and improves through scheduled and unscheduled network upgrades and hard forks.
