I want to get public key from transaction.

For example, TXID : 0x191095343fd26cbb4c58996aa6512d5cdf43281d565072bab8d0d5ea9e3d644e

I have tried "Get Raw Transaction Hex" in etherscan and use https://toolkit.abdk.consulting/ethereum#recover-address

but it says "invalid rlp data"

I referenced this : Get public key of any ethereum account

But i think the solution is not working now.

Am i wrong? and how can I get public key from transaciton?

  • You want the public key of the account that send the tx?

Usually, by using the mentioned method(s), you won't be able to get the public key of an Ethereum account if that transaction has no spend transactions. It happens the same with BTC. Without the private key, you can get the public key of the address only if it has spend transactions.

That TX is a type 2 transaction (raw data starts with 0x02....), as per EIP-1559, which changes the transaction format. The ABDK toolkit seems compatible only with legacy transactions (EIP-155), hence giving the error.
