How to switch between networks ( Mainnet, Preprod, and Preview)

Lace support to switch between Mainnet, Preprod, and Preview.

Mainnet: This is the live network where real transactions take place using real ADA. This is the network that most users interact with when they use Cardano wallets, exchanges, or decentralized applications.

Preprod: This is a testing environment that is used to validate major upgrades and releases before deployment to the mainnet using test ADA by requesting from the faucet. It is a staging area where developers can simulate real-world scenarios and ensure that everything is working as expected before going live. It forks approximately at the same time as mainnet (within an epoch of each other).

Preview: This is a testing environment used to showcase new features and functionality to the Cardano community before they are deployed on the mainnet using test ADA by requesting from the faucet. It allows developers and users to test and provide feedback on new features and changes before they are released to the wider community. The preview testnet leads mainnet hard forks by at least four weeks.

To switch between these networks.
1. Select Network from the dropdown menu

2. Select the network you would like your wallet to operate on
