[Bug] Connection Refused: Security risk detected when connecting Brave Wallet to GenLayer Points #408

Description

Image Description When attempting to connect a wallet to the GenLayer Points dashboard using the Brave browser, a security warning is triggered. The browser prevents the connection and displays a red alert stating that the site is requesting to use an unfamiliar network (Chain ID: 4221).

Steps to Reproduce
Open Brave Browser.

Navigate to https://points.genlayer.foundation/.

Click on the "Connect Wallet" button.

Select MetaMask from the modal.

Observe the red security alert overlay from the browser.

Expected Behavior
The wallet extension should prompt the user to "Switch Network" or "Add Network" for GenLayer (Chain ID 4221) without being blocked by the browser's security layer.

Actual Behavior
Brave blocks the request and displays:
"Đã phát hiện rủi ro bảo mật... Chúng tôi đã từ chối yêu cầu này vì trang web này đang yêu cầu bạn sử dụng mạng khác (Chain ID: 4221)".

Environment
Browser: Brave (Latest version)

Wallet involved: Brave Wallet / MetaMask Extension

URL: https://points.genlayer.foundation/#/builders/contributions

Additional Context
This issue seems specific to Brave's built-in security shields or its default Web3 handling. Users on other Chromium browsers (like Chrome or Edge) do not consistently report this blocking behavior for the same Chain ID.
