hbars do not show in metamask with hedera-local-node

[mgarbs]

Description

What happened: Metamask wallet shows 0 hbars

Expected to see 9.60581137 ℏ in metamsk after creating and importing account

Steps to reproduce

NOTE: Using macOS w/ M1 chipset

1. Spin up hedera-local-node
2. Add Hedera Local Network to Metamask
   
3. Create an aliased account with account-alias-ecdsa.js
   • .env file looks like this:

HEDERA_NETWORK={"127.0.0.1:50211":"0.0.3"}
OPERATOR_ID=0.0.2
OPERATOR_KEY=302e020100300506032b65700422042091132178e72057a1d7528025956fe39b0b847f200ab59b2fdd367017f3087137
CHAIN_ID=0x12a
MIRROR_NODE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:5551
LOCAL_NODE=true
SERVER_PORT=7546
E2E_RELAY_HOST=http://127.0.0.1:7546

4. Import an account into metamask using the raw private key from the console output of step 2
5. See a zero balance (should see 9.60581137 ℏ)
   

Additional context

Hi, there are several types of accounts in the hedera ecosystem:

• ECDSA
• Alias with ECDSA
• ED25519
• Contract

Only Alias with ECDSA can be used on-the-fly in Metamask.

We updated the hedera-local startup script and now it's creating all of the 3 types of accounts. You can test it by pulling the last version from main branch. It's not released in npm yet, so you have to run the hedera-local via cloning the repo.

The generated accounts list should look like this 👇
