Ethereum: Safe-cli issue with Trezor

Ethereum: Safe-CLI Issue with Trezor Wallet

As a developer of Ethereum-based applications, you have probably encountered issues while using the Trezor wallet for secure transactions. A common issue is encountering errors when trying to send transactions via safe-cli, a popular command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with the Ethereum network.

In this article, we will dive deeper into the issue and explore potential solutions to resolve it.

The Issue:

When using the Trezor wallet with the safe-cli, you may encounter an error similar to:

Error sending transaction:
Address mismatch
Error validating signature

This error occurs when the Trezor wallet does not recognize the address you provided or fails to validate the signature on your transaction.

Causes of the issue:

There are several reasons why this issue can occur, including:

• Address format: The Trezor address may be formatted incorrectly or contain non-ASCII characters.

• Private key mismatch: The private key associated with the Trezor wallet may not match the private key expected by safe-cli.

• Trezor version mismatch:

  The Trezor wallet and safe-cli versions may not be compatible, resulting in errors when executing transactions.

Solutions:

To resolve this issue, do the following:

1. Check the address format

Make sure your address is formatted correctly by using the load_trezor_cli_owners command with the following options:

load_trezor_cli_owners --addresses  --output 

Replace with the Trezor wallet address and with a file where you want to save the output.

Example:

load_trezor_cli_owners --addresses 0x1234567890abcdef --output trezor_output.txt

2. Check for private key mismatch

Check that your private key matches the one expected for the Trezor wallet using the following command:

trezor-cli -p  --send --address 

Replace with the path to your private key file and with the correct Trezor address.

3. Update Safe-CLI version

Make sure your version of safe-cli is up to date, as older versions may not support some features or have compatibility issues.

npm install -g @truffle/ganache-safe-cli

Run ganache --version to check the version. If you are using a different platform (e.g. macOS), make sure safe-cli is installed and configured correctly.

4. Check Trezor wallet version

Make sure your Trezor wallet has the latest software update, as this may resolve compatibility issues.

trezor-cli -v

Additional tips:

• Make sure you are using the correct version of Trezor wallet for your Ethereum network (e.g. Goerli or Mainnet).

• If you recently installed a new operating system or updated to a newer version, make sure your safe-cli is compatible.

• If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, try deleting your local blockchain data and then re-importing the Trezor address.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the “Address Mismatch” or “Signature Validation Error” errors when using safe-cli with a Trezor wallet.
