Mandatory Script Verification Failed: Debug Wrapped SegWit Input

Ducat Protocol has been working to develop robust solutions for digital assets. One of the challenges we are currently facing is debugging transactions using wrapped Segwit inputs. Specifically, one of our tests has resulted in an error that has puzzled us – the “mandatory-script-verify-flag-failed” error.

You can find out what this error means and how to fix it:

Error

When a transaction attempts to use a wrapped Segwit input, the system is supposed to evaluate whether the script provided by the sender actually matches the script used for that input. This verification process is based on two flags: “script-verify” and “optional-space-pat”.

However, when the required script verification flag fails (as indicated by the error message “required-script-verify-flag-failed”), it indicates that the script evaluation failed without causing an error. In other words, the system detected some problem with the provided script.

Wrapped FromWit Inputs

Wrapped Segwit inputs are a type of digital asset built on top of Bitcoin, allowing for more efficient storage and transfer of funds. These inputs have their own unique features, including additional space reserved for metadata. The verification process for wrapped Segwit inputs requires that the optional-space-pat field of the transaction is set correctly and that it matches the script used to create the input.

Troubleshooting

In our case, we have noticed that a specific transaction has produced a “required-script-verify-flag-failed” error when attempting to use a wrapped Segwit input. The troubleshooting steps for this issue were as follows:

  • Check Script

    : I first checked the script used in the transaction and made sure it was correctly configured in the wallet or validator settings.

  • Check Feed Metadata: Next, I made sure that the optional-space-pat field in the transaction was set correctly to match the script used in the feed.
  • Evaluate Script Without Error: After checking both flags, I evaluated the script without errors to see if it matched the expected behavior.

Conclusion

In this article, we have discussed the issue of “required-script-verify-flag-failed” error when using wrapped Segwit feeds in the Ducat protocol development environment. By following the steps outlined above and carefully checking each component involved in the transaction validation process, I was able to successfully fix the issue and identify the root cause.

If you are facing similar challenges with your own transactions or wallet configurations, this article aims to provide useful insights and debugging strategies to address such issues in the future.
