Understand the metamask id channel with the dev

truffle

When you use the traffle development with the Metamask wallet, there may be problems with Ethereum. In this article, we dive into what the chain identifier is and how it is connected to the Metamask association with the DEV truffle.

Channel ID: Key concept in development of blockchain

The chain ID, also known as block number, refers to the block order that forms the blockchain. This is a unique identifier attributed to each block of the chain. In Ethereum, mainnet uses a chain identifier that is different from Testnet’s companion.

For the Ethereum network, the ID channel varies between 1 and 2 ^ 32-3 (about 10,000,000,000). The truffle dev, which is official integration of metamask and cattle, uses a slightly different approach.

Metamask Association with Dev truffle: channel ID

When using the “developed truffle” in the terminal, it connects to the mainnet Ethereum HTTP: //127.0.0.1: 9545 /. “

The chain ID used by the DEV truffle to integrate the metamask is not directly connected to the MainNet chain ID (1). Instead, use the ID of a personalized channel, which applies to Metamask-Wallet Connection. This allows more efficient and optimized communication between the portfolio and the Ethereum network.

What does this mean to you?

If you use “developed truffles” to face contact problems with Ethereum MainNet, try updating the chain ID:

`Bash

NPX truffle update - chain -id 2

` ‘

This command defines the chain ID in 2, which is the common value of the integration of metamask in the truffle DEV.

troubleshooting tips

• Be sure to use the latest version of DEV and Metamask truffles.

• Make sure you have installed the “developed” command line and its outbuildings correctly.

• If the problems persist, try to restart the node or update the chain ID to 2.

If you understand how chain identifiers work in the development of blockchain, you can better solve all the problems with the MainNet Ethereum of the DEV and Metamask truffles.
