System ArchiveMetamask Extension Bug Activity Contract Deployments Are Displayed as Contract Interaction Symptom Users of the Metamask extension may notice that contract deployments are incorrectly displayed as contract interactions within the activity tab, leading to confusion and potential mismanagement of onchain activities. Technical Root Cause This issue arises from a bug in the Metamask extension's logic for categorizing and displaying different types of onchain activities, specifically failing to differentiate between contract deployments and interactions. Manual Overrides To temporarily resolve this issue, users can attempt the following manual overrides: Clear the Metamask extension's local storage to reset its state. Manually filter activities by transaction type using external blockchain explorers. Utilize the following JSON configuration to update the Metamask extension's settings: json { "activityFilter": { "contractDeployments": true, "contractInteractions": false } } Consider utilizing an external console for more complex configuration adjustments. Prerequisites Metamask extension installed and configured. Basic understanding of Ethereum blockchain transactions. Access to external blockchain explorers for manual transaction filtering.
