const INVALID_PRIVATE_KEY_REASONS: readonly ["wrong_length", "bad_encoding", "not_on_curve", "no_key_provided"]

Why a private key was refused (INVALID_PRIVATE_KEY.params.reason). A token for the app to map to its own text, never English and never any part of the key.

  • wrong_length: raw bytes that are not 32 bytes long (a ./bridge Solana secret key: not 64 bytes once decoded).
  • bad_encoding: a string that is neither 64 hex characters (optionally 0x-prefixed, 63 is left-padded) nor a 44-character base64 string (./bridge: an Ethereum key that is not 0x and 64 hex characters; a Solana secret key that is not base58, or whose public half does not match its secret half).
  • not_on_curve: 32 bytes that are not a valid secp256k1 secret scalar.
  • no_key_provided: a lazy key provider returned something that is not a string.
