ditching wallet_switchEthereumChain 🔚 

the stateful model of wallet connections where a wallet is connected to an application on a single chain feels broken

wallets are moving towards programmatic switching and displaying all assets for all chains all the time which delivery a much better UX

applications are moving towards using their own Ethereum RPC providers for public rpc requests and are only sending actions that require a signature to the wallet

given this can we get rid of `wallet_switchEthereumChain` entirely and specify the chain on individuals requests like `eth_sendTransaction`?

it's a common stumbling block for devs and adds a cognitive overhead since transactions needs to be wrapped in logic to inspect the current chain and switch

strong agree, had to write this the other day for bringing clanker to monad- basically a shim so all our interactions are chain agnostic and handles all the switching/network/etc

really annoying though and look forward to when we can get rid of it. think it’s one of the main things holding l2s back from competing with solana
