Solana: CLI – Using prompt:// Doesn’t Yield Same Pubkey

When you’re familiar with Solana, you’re likely no stranger to the command line interface (CLI). However, for those who are new to Solana or haven’t used it in a while, generating a public key can be a crucial step. But what happens when your generated pubkey doesn’t match what you had created?

For many users, this issue has been frustrating and time-consuming to resolve. Fortunately, the Solana team has addressed this problem with the release of a new command line interface feature.

The Problem

When using the normal pubkey generation function in Solana, there’s often a discrepancy between your generated pubkey and what you had created. This can lead to issues when trying to use the same pubkey for transactions or other operations. For example, if you wanted to send a transaction on the Solana network with a specific pubkey, generating the correct pubkey from prompt:// would not have been an option.

The Solution

Fortunately, the team has provided a new solution to this problem. Starting with Solana 1.13.0, users can now use prompt:// as their default command line interface. This feature allows you to generate a public key using a simple string prompt, which yields the same result as your original pubkey.

To get started, simply run the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

solana keygen --prompt=your_string_here

Replace your_string_here with a short string of characters that you want to generate into your public key. This will yield a new pubkey that matches what you had created.

Benefits and Expectations

This new feature has several benefits:

• It allows users to easily generate their pubkeys without having to manually enter the --pubkey flag.

• It reduces the likelihood of errors caused by incorrect input when generating a pubkey.

• It makes it easier for developers to use Solana in their projects.

While some users may have been waiting for this feature to be released, it’s worth noting that it was already available in the Solana documentation and beta testing phases. However, with the release of Solana 1.13.0, this feature has officially become part of the mainnet.

Conclusion

The new CLI feature using prompt:// is a welcome addition to the Solana ecosystem. It makes it easier for users to generate their pubkeys and reduces errors caused by incorrect input. With this new feature, users can now use prompt:// as their default command line interface, making it even simpler to get started with Solana.
