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 may arise is the return of an empty hash in certain scenarios. In this article, we will investigate a potential issue with Metamask's "sendTransaction" function, 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 is a solution.

The Problem: Empty Hash

When a user attempts to send a transaction using MetaMask, the resulting hash may be empty or indicate that the transaction was not successful. This may seem counterintuitive at first, but it is essential 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 create a successful transaction.

Success flag: false positive?

Metamask's isSuccess' flag indicates whether a transaction was successfully executed. However, it appears that this flag does not always accurately reflect the state of the transaction.

While an empty hash may clearly indicate failure, theisSuccess' flag may likely 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 the problem, let's look at 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 default application;

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 verify whether the transaction was completed or not.

Conclusion:

The potential issue with empty hashes in Metamask transactions stems largely from 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 a transaction, it may need to be updated or supplemented with additional checks to accurately determine whether a transaction was successful.

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

Workarounds and workarounds:

• 
  Additional logic:
  
  
  
  Users should be informed of errors or issues with sending transactions.

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

• 
  Returning error messages: Instead of returning an empty hash, dApps can return error messages explaining the reason for the failure.
