Ethereum: Chain Does Not Support EPI-3855 and Broke Frontend

In recent attempts to implement smart contracts on the Ethereum network, users have encountered an issue related to EIP-3855 (also known as “Elliptic Curve Point at Infinity”) and a broken frontend. This article discusses the causes of these issues and provides guidance on how to resolve them.

What is EPI-3855?

EIP-3855 is an Elliptic Curve Point at Infinity (EC-PATI) algorithm designed for secure cryptographic operations, including digital signatures and non-repudiation. However, it has been deprecated in favor of more efficient algorithms due to security and compatibility issues.

Unsupported Chain IDs: 31337

When deploying smart contracts on the Ethereum network, it is important to ensure that your chain ID matches one of the supported chains. In this case, the user is trying to deploy a chain with the ID 31337, which is not a valid or supported chain ID.

Deploying to local: EIP-3855 is not supported

The first error message encountered when deploying smart contracts on Ethereum concerns EPI-3855:

“Deploying to local: EIP-3855 is not supported for one or more of the RPCs used.”

This indicates that the user’s local development environment (e.g. Geth or Parity) cannot handle EPI-3855, and therefore it will not be deployed.

Unsupported Chain ID: 31337

As mentioned earlier, deploying a smart contract on Ethereum with an unsupported chain ID (in this case 31337) results in another error message:

“Contracts: Unsupported Chain ID: 31337.”

This indicates that the user is trying to deploy a contract on a chain whose ID is not supported by the Ethereum network.

Broke Frontend

The broken frontend issue does not appear to be related to EPI-3855, but it may be worth investigating. However, without more specific information about the frontend code or environment, it is difficult to diagnose.

Resolution and Mitigation Strategies

To resolve these issues, users should consider the following:

• Check Chain ID: Ensure that the chain ID used for deployment matches one of the supported chains.

• Check EPI-3855 Compatibility: Ensure that the EPI-3855 algorithm is compatible with the Ethereum network.

• Use a compatible blockchain: If possible, use a blockchain that supports EPI-3855 (e.g. Polkadot or Cosmos).

• Disable EPI-3855: In some cases, you may need to disable EPI-3855 for your smart contract implementation.

Conclusion

The issues users encounter when deploying Ethereum can be caused by incompatible algorithms, unsupported chain tokens, and poor compatibility between blockchain versions. By understanding these causes and implementing the necessary mitigation strategies, users should be able to resolve deployment errors and successfully deploy smart contracts on the Ethereum network.
