error: [app] Application is crashed: TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
src/config/constants/MakerConstants.ts:868:13 - error TS2322: Type '{ internalType: string; name: string; type: string; }' is not assignable to type 'AbiInput'.
Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'internalType' does not exist in type 'AbiInput'.

####Possbile Solution
In web3-utils/types/index.d.ts

export interface AbiInput {
    name: string;
    type: string;
    indexed?: boolean;
    components?: AbiInput[];
}

add internalType?: string;

}
