Solana error #2800001
ADDRESSES__STRING_LENGTH_OUT_OF_RANGE
Appears as Solana error #2800001; Decode this error by running `npx @solana/errors decode -- 2800001 '…'`
Message
Expected base58-encoded address string of length in the range [32, 44]. Actual length: $actualLength.
Placeholders (actualLength) are filled from the error’s context. Paste the base64 argument below to see the real values.
What it means
Base58 address validation and program derived address derivation.
What to do
- Addresses must decode to exactly 32 bytes; PDA seeds must be 32 bytes or fewer and at most 16 of them.
- Use the PDA tool on this site to reproduce the derivation and compare bytes.
Decode it locally instead
npx @solana/errors decode -- 2800001 '<base64 context>'
In development, import from @solana/kit as usual and the full message is thrown. In production the message is stripped to keep bundles small; the error object still carries error.context with the same values this page decodes, and isSolanaError(err, SOLANA_ERROR__ADDRESSES__STRING_LENGTH_OUT_OF_RANGE) lets you branch on it.
