ChainErrors

Blockchain error decoder for EVM and Solana — decode reverts, panics, custom errors, and program failures.

ChainErrors is part of ChainKit, a monorepo of blockchain primitives for Rust, TypeScript, Python, Go, and Java.

Features

Quick Start

Rust

[dependencies]
chainerrors-core = "0.1.0"
chainerrors-evm  = "0.1.0"
chainerrors-solana = "0.1.0"

use chainerrors_evm::EvmErrorDecoder;
use chainerrors_core::ErrorDecoder;

let decoder = EvmErrorDecoder::new();

// Decode a revert string
let data = hex::decode("08c379a0...").unwrap();
let result = decoder.decode(&data, None).unwrap();
println!("{result}");
// → "reverted: Not enough tokens"

// Decode a panic
let panic_data = hex::decode("4e487b71...0011").unwrap();
let result = decoder.decode(&panic_data, None).unwrap();
println!("{result}");
// → "panic 0x11: arithmetic overflow"

use chainerrors_solana::SolanaErrorDecoder;
use chainerrors_core::ErrorDecoder;

let decoder = SolanaErrorDecoder::new();

// Decode a system program error
let result = decoder.decode_error_code(
    1,
    Some("11111111111111111111111111111111"),
    None,
).unwrap();
println!("{result}");
// → "AccountAlreadyInUse(code=1)"

// Decode from program logs
let result = decoder.decode_log(
    "Program failed: custom program error: 0xbc4",
    None,
).unwrap();
println!("{result}");
// → "AccountNotInitialized(code=3012)"

TypeScript (Node.js)

npm install @chainfoundry/chainerrors

import { decodeEvmError } from '@chainfoundry/chainerrors';

const result = decodeEvmError('0x08c379a0...');
console.log(result.kind);    // "revert_string"
console.log(result.message); // "Not enough tokens"

Python

pip install chainerrors

from chainerrors import decode_evm_error

result = decode_evm_error("0x08c379a0...")
print(result["kind"])     # "revert_string"
print(result["message"])  # "Not enough tokens"

CLI

cargo install chainerrors-cli

chainerrors decode --data 0x08c379a0...
# → Error(string): "Not enough tokens"

chainerrors decode --data 0x4e487b710000...0011
# → Panic(uint256): arithmetic overflow (0x11)

EVM Error Types

Revert Strings (0x08c379a0)

require(balance >= amount, "Insufficient balance")
→ Error(string): "Insufficient balance"

Panic Codes (0x4e487b71)

Bundled Custom Errors (40+)

ERC-20: InsufficientBalance, InvalidSender, InvalidReceiver, InsufficientAllowance ERC-721: InvalidOwner, NonexistentToken, IncorrectOwner, InsufficientApproval OpenZeppelin: OwnableUnauthorizedAccount, AccessControlUnauthorizedAccount, ReentrancyGuardReentrantCall, EnforcedPause Uniswap V3: T, LOK, TLU, TLM, TUM, AS, M0, M1, IIA, SPL, F0, F1, L, LS, LA EIP-4626: ExceededMaxDeposit/Mint/Withdraw/Redeem SafeERC20: FailedOperation, FailedDecreaseAllowance

Solana Error Types

System Program (18 errors)

AccountAlreadyInitialized, AccountAlreadyInUse, AccountDataTooSmall, AccountNotRentExempt, InsufficientFundsForFee, InvalidAccountDataLength, and more.

SPL Token (18 errors)

NotRentExempt, InsufficientFunds, InvalidMint, MintMismatch, OwnerMismatch, UninitializedState, AccountFrozen, and more.

Anchor Framework (40+ errors)

• Instruction (100-103): InstructionMissing, InstructionDidNotDeserialize
• Constraint (2000-2020): ConstraintMut, ConstraintHasOne, ConstraintSigner, ConstraintSeeds, ConstraintOwner
• Account (3000-3017): AccountDiscriminatorMismatch, AccountNotInitialized, AccountOwnedByWrongProgram, InvalidProgramId

Program Log Parsing

"Program XYZ failed: custom program error: 0xbc4" → Code(3012) → AccountNotInitialized
"Program log: Error: insufficient funds" → Message("insufficient funds")
"Error Code: AccountNotInitialized. Error Number: 3012." → Code(3012)
