Smart Transactions UI and nonce editing confusion on Infura vs alternative RPC URLs

[sleepytanya]

What is this about?

STX transactions are supported only when using Infura. When users switch to an alternative RPC URL, STX functionality reverts to a standard send transaction without any explicit notification, which might not be immediately clear to the user. This can lead to confusion as the user interface changes unexpectedly.
Additionally, users have reported an inability to edit the nonce value when connected to Infura, a feature that was accessible on other RPCs. This behavior aligns with the expected functionality when STX transactions are enabled, yet the rationale behind this limitation was not apparent to users.
To enhance clarity and user experience, it would be beneficial to introduce a notification or alert informing users that STX functionality is exclusive to certain RPCs.
