Error Taxonomy

The knowledge base behind Prism’s intelligence.

The Error Taxonomy Database is a community-driven, versioned catalog of every known Soroban error code. It is the brain that turns numbers into English.

Error Categories

The taxonomy covers all host error categories:

• Budget: CPU/Memory limits, invalid instruction sets.
• Storage: Missing entries, invalid footers, size limits.
• Auth: Signature failures, missing authorizations.
• Context: Invalid contract IDs, depth limits.
• Value/Object: Serialization errors, type mismatches.
• Crypto: Signature verification failures.

Contributing

The database is stored as a series of TOML files. Contributors can add new entries, suggest better fixes, or update explanations as the Stellar protocol evolves.

See Contributing to Taxonomy for more details.
