The problem of Metamek balance with Localhost 8545

As a user of the popular extension of the Ethereum Metask browser, you are probably not foreign to the comfort and flexibility it offers. However, a recent problem caused frustrations between users based on Localhost 8545 as the main configuration of the wallet. In this article, we will face the problem and explore the possible solutions.

Problem

When using Localhost 8545 as a portfolio Ethereum, the Metask balance is interested. In particular, when you go from Mainnet to Localhost, your Eter (ETH) balance no longer appears on the Metask dashboard. This can be confused for ordinary users to see the sales of accounts reflected in real time.

Code

To better understand the problem, take a look at a code that could be pertinent:

The problem with Localhost 8545

When using Localhost 8545, the wallet is not configured to use this specific chain. The Metamark API can expect a different chain identity document, which can cause discrepancies when trying to recover the account sales.

Possible solutions

To solve the problem, you can try the following:

• Check the Metamk settings: make sure that the Localhost 8545 portfolio is correctly configured in the extension of the Metask browser.

• Update the configuration of the Ethereum

  

  node: Go to another Ethereum node that accepts Localhost 8545, such as the Go-Ethereum node or a cloud-based service as broken.

• Use the Chainida Chainida parameter **: in the code, pass the Localhost chain ID 8545 using the Chainid parameter during the creation of the wallet:

Du du

Alternatively, you can use the “Chainid” field in the Ethereum API response to manually set the chain ID. For example:

`Du du

Conclusion

In conclusion, the problem that is being encountered the display of the Metask balance during the transition from Localhost 8545 to Mainnet can be resolved by updating the configuration of the Ethereum node or using the “Chainid” parameter with Metask. Following these steps, you should be able to obtain a clear vision of your Eth balance both in the Mainnet settings and local.

Example of code

Here is an updated version of the code fragment showing how to set the manual chain ID:
