Error: Broadcasting transaction failed with code 8

Developer Help

I got this error when trying to send tokens (uscrt) using cosmJs sdk’s stargate client.
Error: Broadcasting transaction failed with code 8 (codespace: sdk). Log: pubKey does not match signer address secret13u3a5t44aqd3j3dn4hn3rt0kljr7c4t2eg55qe with signer index: 0: invalid pubkey

My code snippet:
const cosmos_client = await SigningStargateClient.connectWithSigner(
rpcEndpoint,
wallet,
);
const result = await cosmos_client.sendTokens(
‘secret13u3a5t44aqd3j3dn4hn3rt0kljr7c4t2eg55qe’,
recipient,
[{denom: ‘uscrt’, amount: ‘300000’}],
{
amount: [{denom: ‘uscrt’, amount: ‘2500’}],
gas: ‘200000’,
},
);

Where’s wallet coming from? The error essentially says that wallet doesn’t hold the private key of secret13u3a5t44aqd3j3dn4hn3rt0kljr7c4t2eg55qe

I created wallet in this way:
let mn =‘together carpet board direct social book photo veteran three tenant arrest mushroom’;
const wallet = await DirectSecp256k1HdWallet.fromMnemonic(mn, {
prefix: ‘secret’,
});

And are you sure that it corresponds to secret13u3a5t44aqd3j3dn4hn3rt0kljr7c4t2eg55qe?

I think so.

const [firstAccount] = await wallet.getAccounts();
console.log(‘Wallet:’, wallet);
console.log(‘Account:’, firstAccount);
console.log(‘Account Address:’, firstAccount.address);

Console LOG :

Can you try this?:

const cosmos_client = await SigningStargateClient.connectWithSigner(
  rpcEndpoint,
  wallet,
  { prefix: 'secret' }
);

Yeah, I have checked it. But got same error.

One thing to inform you that I am using it in react native environment.
I can retrieve chainId, height and can check balance as well.
And my rpc endpoint is:
‘https://testnet-rpc.roninventures.io’;

First you can try another RPC endpoint, ronin was recently removed from the api-registry

And then weirdly, that mnemonic works with a Secret.JS wallet, but I failed to import it with cosmjs with this sandbox app, and then I tried Keplr and that failed with checksum error too.
Maybe we used different versions of cosmjs, and I don’t know how you got the mnemonic, but I get invalid checksum errors for it.

BTW, even if the code in the sandbox works, of course the addresses will differ until the hdpaths is correctly set. I just tried it for sanity and found it weird that secret.js Wallet imports it but not cosmjs, maybe related to your issue.
