Metamk problem: Duplicate transactions in the Ethereum wallet
As a user of the popular metamask wallet, you are not alone in experiencing a frustrating problem with duplicate transactions. In this article, we will deepen what is happening and how to solve it.
The problem: Duplicate transitions in MetamSk
When metamask is used to send transactions through the Window.ethereum injection injected by the browser, each transaction is duplicated for each account. This means that it is essentially sending two identical transactions for the same account, which can generate some problems:
- Inconsistent status : With duplicate transactions, the status of their accounts and tokens may not be consistent in all connected wallets.
- Security risks : Duplicate transactions increase the risk of theft or manipulation of tokens by others with access to duplicate accounts.
- Lack of optimization : Duplicate transactions can result in an unnecessary computing overload, slowing down its entire ecosystem.
The problem: Duplication of transactions
Let’s take a close look at how duplicate transactions occur:
- When calling
Window.ethereum.sendtransaction (), Metamk generates two identical transaction objects by default.
- The second transaction is sent to the Ethereum Network, resulting in two duplicate transactions.
- Since each account has its own unique public direction, both transactions are enrolled at different accounts.
Resolution: Disable duplicate transactions
To solve this problem, you can disable duplicate transactions for your metamask wallet:
- Go to the Metamask configuration by clicking on the three points in the upper right corner of the interface and selecting “configuration”.
- Scroll down to the “transaction” section.
- Select the option to disable duplicate transactions for all accounts.
Alternative Solution: Use a third party wallet
If you are looking for an alternative solution, consider using a third party wallet that admits more advanced characteristics, such as:
- Truf suite: a set of tools developed by web3.de, which allows a more efficient and safe transaction processing.
- Binance smart chain bill: A wallet designed specifically for the Binance smart chain network, which reduces the risk of duplicate transactions.
Conclusion
Duplicate transactions in MetamSk can lead to an inconsistent state, safety risks and unnecessary general computational expenses. By disabled duplicate transactions or using a third -party wallet with advanced characteristics, you can solve this problem and maintain an ethhereum ecosystem safe and efficient.
