Solana: The declared program id does not match the actual program id

Error Message: Solana: Declared Program ID does not match Actual Program ID

What to Do When Your Verification Steps Fail in DevNet

As a developer working with the Solana blockchain, it’s common to encounter issues while verifying your program on the devnet. One such error that you might experience is when your declared program ID (PID) doesn’t match the actual program ID.

In this article, we’ll delve into the cause of this issue and provide step-by-step instructions to resolve it.

The Issue

When you try to verify your program on the devnet using the Solana CLI tool (solana-verify command), you might receive an error message indicating that the declared PID doesn’t match the actual program ID. This can happen for several reasons:

• The PID provided is different from what was used during verification.

• There’s a typo in the PID or the account information.

• The account used for verification is not accessible on the devnet.

Solving the Issue: Verifying Your Program on DevNet

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Step 1: Check the PID Used During Verification

First, verify that you’re using the correct PID during verification. You can check your PID in the following way:

solana-cli --version | grep PID

This command will output the PID used during verification.

Step 2: Update Your PID on the devnet

If you found any mistakes or typos in the PID, update it to match what was used during verification. You can use the following command to update your PID:

solana-cli --update-pid  

Replace with the actual PID and with the account ID you verified on devnet.

Step 3: Verify Your Program Again

After updating your PID, verify your program again using the solana-verify command. This should resolve any issues related to the PID mismatch:

solana-verify -p  

Replace with the updated PID and with the actual program ID used during verification.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Make sure you’re using the correct account ID for your verification.

• Verify that the PID is not expired or in use on the devnet.

• If you’re still having issues, try updating your solana-verify version to the latest one.

By following these steps and troubleshooting tips, you should be able to resolve the issue of a declared program ID mismatch when verifying your program on the devnet.
