:warning: Temporary Issue with Vespr Wallet on Eightblock

TL;DR: We’re experiencing connection issues with Vespr wallet. Please use Nami, Eternl, Yoroi, or Lace instead until we resolve this.

What’s Happening

Users attempting to connect with Vespr wallet are receiving the error:

Wallet connection failed
[Browser Wallet] An error occured during enabled:{}

Technical Cause

We’ve identified the issue as a compatibility problem between our current MeshSDK implementation (v1.9.0-beta.87) and Vespr’s CIP-30 wallet API. Specifically:

  • The BrowserWallet.enable() method is returning an empty object instead of the proper wallet API interface
  • This appears to be related to either a case sensitivity mismatch in how Vespr exposes its window.cardano object, or a wallet initialization timing issue
  • Other wallets (Nami, Eternl, Yoroi, Lace) are unaffected and working perfectly

Workaround

For now, please use one of these fully-supported wallets:

  • :white_check_mark: Nami
  • :white_check_mark: Eternl
  • :white_check_mark: Yoroi
  • :white_check_mark: Lace

All functionality (authentication, article creation, likes, comments, bookmarks) works perfectly with these wallets.

What We’re Doing

Our team is actively investigating the issue and will:

  1. Update to the latest stable MeshSDK version
  2. Add explicit handling for Vespr’s specific implementation
  3. Improve error logging to catch similar issues faster

We’ll update this thread once Vespr support is restored.

Questions?

If you’re experiencing issues with other wallets, please let us know in the comments with:

  • Wallet name and version
  • Browser and OS
  • Full error message

Thanks for your patience! :folded_hands:
