A WebSocket request to an EVM node fails with "Frame size of X bytes exceeds maximum accepted frame size"

Increase 'maxReceivedFrameSize' and 'maxReceivedMessageSize' values for your WebSocket connection

Issue

A WebSocket request to an EVM node errors out with the following message:

Frame size of X bytes exceeds maximum accepted frame size

Cause

The payload from the EVM node exceeds the default message size quota in your client application.

Solution

Increase the quota by setting the values for 'maxReceivedFrameSize' and 'maxReceivedMessageSize' in your client application.

A web3.js example:

var Web3 = require('web3');
var add = 'wss://ws-nd-123-456-789.p2pify.com/3c6e0b8a9c15224a8228b9a98ca1531'
var web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.WebsocketProvider(add,
{
clientConfig:{
maxReceivedFrameSize: 10000000000,
maxReceivedMessageSize: 10000000000,
} 
}));
