The mystery of Metamask private network limitations: what is happening?
As a user of the popular Metamask wallet, you are probably familiar with your ability to deploy contracts and interact with your decentralized applications (Dapps) in multiple networks. However, a resource that has caused frustration to many users is the fact that Metamask does not allow direct sending of private transactions.
In this article, we will delve into what is happening behind the scenes and explore possible reasons why Metamask has this limitation.
The private network: What is the difference?
Before diving into the subject with Metamask, we will quickly address some basic concepts. The private network is a separate entity from its Public Mainnet Ethereum Mainnet (also known as “Maintnet” or simply “Ethereum”). The private network allows users to interact with specific contracts and applications without revealing their IP addresses or other identification information.
Why can’t Metamask send transactions directly?
When you implement a contract on your private network, it uses the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) being executed in your nodes. However, when you try to send private network transactions using Metamask, the wallet does not seem to be able to do so.
Here are some possible reasons for this limitation:
- Gas rates: One of the main factors that limit shipping transaction is the minimum gas rate required. In Ethereum 2.0 (also known as serenity), the transition from the Consensus of Work Proof (POW) to the Test of Participation (POS) will significantly affect gas prices. The private network, being a separate entity with its own Pow or POS consensus algorithm, may have different price structures that affect transaction rates.
- Network congestion: When you implement contracts on your private network, they are being executed in parallel with other transactions in the main public network. This can lead to congestion and increased gas prices, which may further limit transactions.
- Wallet configuration:
It is possible that the metamask is incorrectly configured or has specific settings that prevent you from sending transactions directly from the private network.
What can you do?
Although these limitations may seem frustrating, there are still ways to circumvent them:
- Use a bridge:
Bridges allow you to interact with their smart contracts on main and private networks without having to send transactions directly.
- Implementing Contracts on Test Nets: The implementation of contracts on public testing Nets can help you test new ideas and interactions before implementing them in the private network.
- Wait for MetaMask Resource Updates: As developers continue to improve their portfolios, they can add direct shipping support from private network transactions.
In conclusion, understanding what is happening behind the scenes is essential to solve the problem by sending metamask transactions directly from the private network. By exploring possible reasons and taking action to circumvent these limitations, you can still enjoy a perfect experience by interacting with your smart contracts on main and private networks.
