nonce-tracker

How metamask calculates nonces

const NonceTracker = require('nonce-tracker')

const nonceTracker = new NonceTracker(config)

nonceLock = nonceTracker.getNonceLock('0xselectedEthereumAddress')

nonce = nonceLock.nextNonce

NonceTracker

index.js:13-159

Parameters

• opts Object {Object}
  • opts.provider Object a ethereum provider
  • opts.getPendingTransactions Function a function that returns an array of txMeta whose status is submitted
  • opts.getConfirmedTransactions Function a function that returns an array of txMeta whose status is confirmed
  • opts.blockTracker

getGlobalLock

index.js:27-32

Returns Promise<Object> with the key releaseLock (the gloabl mutex)

getNonceLock

index.js:48-82

Parameters

• address

Properties

• highestLocallyConfirmed number A hex string of the highest nonce on a confirmed transaction.
• nextNetworkNonce number The next nonce suggested by the eth_getTransactionCount method.
• highestSuggested number The maximum between the other two, the number returned.

this will return an object with the nextNonce nonceDetails, and the releaseLock Note: releaseLock must be called after adding a signed tx to pending transactions (or discarding).

Parameters

• address {string} the hex string for the address whose nonce we are calculating

Returns Promise<NonceDetails>
