Getting nft-drop contract error when using thirdweb hook

NFT

I keep running into an issue while working with thirdweb in my React app. Every time I try to connect to my smart contract using the useContract hook, I get this annoying error message that says the contract is not an nft-drop type.

Here’s what my code looks like:

import { useContract } from '@thirdweb-dev/react'

function MyComponent() {
  const { contract } = useContract("<contract_address_here>", "nft-drop")

  // Rest of my component logic goes here
}

I double checked the contract address and it seems correct. I also made sure I’m using the right contract type parameter. The weird thing is that even when I copy the exact same code from the thirdweb dashboard, I still get the same error.

Has anyone else run into this problem? What am I missing here? Any help would be really appreciated!

check ur network settings! hook failures can occur if ur wallet’s on a different network than teh one where the contract’s deployed. also, try removing the contract type param first to see if it connects. it might help narrow down the issue.

I encountered a similar issue recently. It’s crucial to ensure that the contract deployed matches the expected nft-drop type precisely. Double-check your contract on the thirdweb dashboard; it’s possible that the deployment was done incorrectly or that you might have inadvertently deployed a different contract type. In some cases, even after deploying, it can take a short while for everything to sync correctly. If the problem persists, try redeploying or reaching out to thirdweb support for further assistance.

Hmm, interesting - I’ve seen this before. Usually it’s a mismatch between what you think the contract is vs what’s actually deployed.

Are you 100% sure it was deployed as an nft-drop? Sometimes people deploy contracts thinking they’re creating one type but thirdweb creates another. Try logging the contract object to see what type it thinks it is.

What’s the exact error message? Does it hint at what contract type it found instead? Are you deploying this yourself or using someone else’s contract?

One more thing - try using the contract without specifying the type parameter. Just useContract("<contract_address>") to see if it connects, then check what type gets detected automatically. That might give us a clue about what’s going wrong.
