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

Error message: Solana: The specified program ID does not match the actual program ID

What to do if your verification steps fail in the Devnet?

As a developer who works with the Solana blockchain, problems often occur when verifying your program in the Devnet. Such an error can occur if your specified program ID (PID) does not match the actual program ID.

In this article we go into the cause of this problem and give you step-by-step instructions for the solution.

The problem

If you try to verify your program in the Devnet with the Solana Cli tool (command “Solana-Verify”), you may receive an error message that states that the specified PID does not match the actual program ID. This can have several reasons:

• The specified PID differs from the one used during the verification.

• The PID or the account information contains a typo.

• The account used for verification is not accessible in the Devnet.

Problem solution: check your program on Devnet

To solve this problem, carry out the following steps:

Step 1: Check the PID used during the review

First, check whether you use the right PID during the review. You can check your PID as follows:

`Bash

Solana-Cli-version | Grep PID

This command spends the PID used during the review.

Step 2: Update your PID on Devnet

If you have found errors or typing errors in the PID, update them so that you match the one used during the review. You can use the following command to update your PID:

`Bash

Solana-Cli-Update Pid

Replace with the actual PID and with the account ID that you checked for Devnet.

Step 3: Check your program again

After updating your PID, check your program again with the command Solana Verify. As a result, all problems in connection with the PID-NOTION CONTACTION should be fixed:

`Bash

Solana-Verify -P

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

Tips for troubleshooting

• Make sure you use the right account ID for your review.

• Check that the PID has not expired or used in Devnet.

• If you continue to have problems, try to update your Solana Verify version to the latest.

By following these steps and tips for the troubleshooting, you should be able to fix the problem of a declared program ID-NOT COMPLITION when checking your program in the Devnet.
