Description

Hello,

How can I create a libp2p key from the metamask ethereum's public key
I tried:

const web3 = window.web3
const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts()
this.setState({ account: accounts[0] })
console.log(accounts)

let temp = await PeerId.createFromPubKey(accounts[0])

I am getting error in the last line.

Help please.
