# InvalidRecoveredPublicKey (/docs/errors/chain/InvalidRecoveredPublicKey)

The EVM key association signature recovered to a public key whose keccak hash does not equal the supplied `evm_key`. Verify the signature was produced by the claimed EVM key over the hotkey plus block hash message (EIP-191 format).

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`invalid_argument`](/docs/errors/invalid-argument).
