Metask Problems: Invalid parameters error in Eters.JS and Blocknative Integrations
As a developer who builds decentralized applications (DAPPS) using web3 libraries and popular libraries such as Ethers.JS and Blockniva, it is not unusual to encounter errors when connecting wallets. A specific problem that has been reported is a “invalid parameters” error when initiating interactions with metamark or OKX wallet extensions on Chrome.
In this article, we will sink in the details of what is happening behind the scenes and give a step -by -step guide on how to solve the problem.
What causes the error?
When connecting to a wallet using ETHERS.JS and Blocknative, both libraries are based on Metask or OKX wallet as a default wallet supplier. However, when these libraries try to initiate interactions with the wallet, they sometimes receive an “invalid parameters” error. This happens due to an incarnation between the expected parameters provided by the wallet and the real parameters received.
problem:
Let’s say you have a Metask wallet installed on your Chrome browser and try to connect it to an Ethers.js and a blocknative instance using the Ethers.js library. You also installed the extension of the OKX wallet for Chrome, which serves as a default wallet supplier. Here is the typical flow:
Ethers.js the library tries to create a new contract in the Ethereum network.
- TheEthers.js
library sends a coded transaction ABI (binary application) to Metask.
- Metask receives the transaction and executes it, passing the parameters as expected.
However, when the extension "wallet" OKX is activated as a default wallet supplier, some of these parameters may be different or incorrect, which leads to an "Invalid Parameters" error inEthers.js.
Solution:
To solve this problem, you can try the following:
- Check the OKX wallet settings: Make sure you have installed the OKX wallet extension for Chrome and use it as a default wallet supplier.
- Check the Metask Configuration: Double check that Metask is configured to useokx Wallet
as a default wallet supplier.
- Update the Ethers.JS library:
Make sure you run the latest version ofethers.js
. You can update it by runningNPM Install Ethers@The latest or Fire adds Ethers@the latest.
- Offer correct parameters: When initializing interactions with Metask or Okx wallet, make sure you provide all the necessary parameters as expected.
Additional tips:
- Make sure you use exactly the same configuration for both the Metask and OKX wallet when connecting using the
Ethers.jslibrary.
- Note that some types of parameters (for example, `Address) may be different between Metask and Okx Wallet, so you may need to update your code accordingly.
Following these steps, you should be able to solve the “Invalid Parameters” error with Metask or OKX wallet connections when using Ethers.JS and Blocknative Blocknatives. If you have any problems, do not hesitate to give more details about your configuration and I will do my best to help you further!
