Title: The Mystery of Empty Hashes: Can SendTransaction Return an Empty Hash from MetaMask?

Introduction:

As we continue to build and integrate decentralized applications (dApps) into our digital wallets, one common issue that can arise is the return of an empty hash in certain scenarios. In this article, we will explore a potential issue with sendTransaction in MetaMask, where sending a transaction may not complete successfully despite the isSuccess flag returning true. We will investigate what causes this behavior and see if there are any workarounds.

Problem: Empty Hashes

When a user attempts to send a transaction using MetaMask, the resulting hash may be empty or indicate that the transaction was unsuccessful. This may seem counterintuitive at first, but it is important to understand the context in which sendTransaction returns an empty hash.

For example, if two users have the same private key and send a transaction with different inputs (e.g. 0x123abcde5678901abcdef), MetaMask will return an empty hash. This is because the transaction metadata does not contain the user input required to successfully create the transaction.

Is the success flag: False positive?

The isSuccess flag in MetaMask indicates whether a transaction was successful. However, it appears that this flag may not always accurately reflect the status of the transaction.

While an empty hash could be a clear indication of failure, the isSuccess flag could potentially return true even if the transaction was not successful. This can lead to unexpected behavior or user confusion.

Simplified Example: Code Snippet

To better understand this issue, let’s consider a simplified example using React and Wagmi.

import { useMetaMask } from '@wagmijs/wagmi';
import MetaMaskProvider from './MetaMaskProvider';
function App() {
const { error, isSuccess, sendTransaction } = useMetaMask();
if (!error && isSuccess) {
console.log('Success!');
sendTransaction({ to: '0x123abcde5678901abcdef', value: 1 });
}
return (
{/ error message /}
{error? 
Error: {error.message}
 : null}
 sendTransaction({ to: '0x123abcde5678901abcdef', value: 1 })}>
Send Transaction
);
}
export defaultapp;

In this simplified code, if the isSuccess flag returns true and there is no error message, it may appear that the transaction was sent successfully. However, without checking the actual return value of sendTransaction, we cannot confirm whether the transaction was completed or not.

Conclusion:

The potential issue with empty hashes in Metamask transactions is largely due to the complexity of the interaction between the user’s wallet and the underlying blockchain network. While the isSuccess flag provides valuable insight into the success status of the transaction, it may need to be updated or supplemented with additional checks to accurately determine whether the transaction was successful.

To mitigate this issue, developers can implement additional logic in their dApps to ensure that the user is notified when a transaction fails. This could include displaying an error message instead of returning an empty hash.

Workarounds and Solutions:

• Implement additional logic: Users should be notified of any errors or issues with sending transactions.

• Update isSuccess tag: The isSuccess tag may need to be updated or supplemented with additional checks, such as the result of a transaction being rejected by the blockchain network.

• Return error messages: Instead of returning an empty hash, dApps can return error messages with information about what went wrong.
