Error Message: Solana: Declared Program ID does not match the actual Program ID

What to do when verification steps fail on DevNet

As a developer working with the Solana blockchain, it is common to encounter issues when verifying your program on the development network. One such error you may experience is when your declared Program ID (PID) does not match the actual Program ID.

In this article, we will take a deep dive into the cause of this issue and provide step-by-step instructions to resolve it.

The Problem

When you try to verify your program on the development network using the Solana CLI tool (solana-verify command), you may receive an error message stating that the declared PID does not match the actual Program ID. This can happen for a number of reasons:

  • The PID provided is different from the one used during verification.
  • There is a typo in the PID or account information.
  • The account used for verification is not accessible on the development network.

Troubleshooting: Verifying the program on the development network

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Step 1: Check the PID used during verification

First, verify that you are using the correct PID during verification. You can check your PID as follows:

solana-cli --version | grep PID

This command will display the PID used during verification.

Step 2: Update your PID on the development network

If you found any errors 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 PID mismatch:

solana-verify -p

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

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Make sure you are using the correct account ID for your verification.
  • Check that the PID has not expired or is in use on the development network.
  • If you continue to have problems, 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 mismatch in the declared program ID when verifying your program on the development network.
