Dont know how to disable unneccessary rpc and api requests

[lachlan]

Hi there,

I updated to newest v10 sdk but I’m confused why it makes alot of these requests and i dont know how to disable them e.g.

getTransactions() rpc without my permission (upgraded helius rpc to make it succeed)

then:

spam 404 to:

https://api-wallet.web3auth.io/nfts/contract?chainId=0x65&contractAddress=…

which I dont need.

Context:

Im on solana mainnet 0x65 (I think)

Hi Lachlan, thanks for raising this!

Summary of your issue:

• SDK: Web3Auth Plug n Play (PnP) Web SDK
• Version: v10 (latest)
• Platform: Web, Solana Mainnet (chainId: 0x65)
• Issue: Unwanted/automatic RPC and API requests, including:
  • Unprompted getTransactions() RPC calls
  • Repeated 404s to https://api-wallet.web3auth.io/nfts/contract?chainId=0x65&contractAddress=...

---

Context & Next Steps

1. Automatic RPC/API Calls

• The SDK, especially from v10 onwards, includes some default features (like NFT fetching and transaction history) as part of the user experience.
• These are typically triggered by the default UI or internal state syncs, not your app code.

2. Disabling Unnecessary Requests

• As of now, the SDK does not expose direct toggles in the initialization config to disable these background requests.
• Some requests (like fetching NFTs or transaction history) are tied to the default wallet UI.
• For more control, you can consider using the Core Kit instead of PnP, which gives you full control over what is queried and when. See: Web3Auth Core Kit vs Plug n Play

3. Solana Mainnet Chain ID

• Solana mainnet is typically 0x1 (not 0x65). 0x65 is for Harmony Testnet, but if your dashboard is set to Solana, the chainId may be mapped internally.

Action Items / Solutions

• If you want to suppress these requests:

  • There is currently no supported way to disable these background calls in the PnP SDK.
  • If you need to avoid them for privacy or performance reasons, you should consider switching to the Web3Auth Core Kit, where you manage all blockchain interactions manually.
  • For custom UI and full control, see the Solana Core Kit integration guide.

• If you want to keep using PnP but minimize noise:

  • You can try hiding or customizing the default wallet UI, but some calls may still be made internally.
  • There is an open feature request for more granular control over these background queries. You can upvote or track it here: Web3Auth Community: Disable Default API Calls.

Let me know if you need sample code for Core Kit migration, or if you have a specific use case in mind!
If you can share your Web3Auth initialization code snippet, I can check if there are any config options that might help in your current setup.

Thanks for your feedback—this helps us improve the SDK experience!

this the core kit? I need an enterprise plan to disable requests to an nft api? I am only using solana for simple transactions. Do I need to stick with version prior to v10, I’d prefer not to.

Unfortunately, we do not offer a toogle right now to switch off the background APi requests, even the NFT ones.
