If you're experiencing this, please share a reproducible example with specific dependency versions. RainbowKit doesn't interface with IndexedDB directly, so I suspect this is related to a dependency in your project.

I’m also encountering the same error.

Here is the log:

As mentioned in the OP, this was with your example repo:

Not sure if this helps, but this error started occurring in 2.2.3 with the below wagmi and viem dependencies:

Got fixed in 2.2.5, but I think it was reintroduced in 2.2.7 or 2.2.6 again, we currently have dependencies like this and we get the error:

Not able to switch back to 2.2.5 because it has #2387

[Anoop072001]

Do we have any update on this?

I've also faced this issue in some of my projects that use the latest versions of wagmi and Rainbowkit
This issue occurs during SSR when using any wallet that calls getProvider from walletConnect.ts, or more broadly, any wallet relying on Wallet Connect.
The problem comes @walletconnect/ethereum-provider package that wagmi imports inside the initProvider function.

Here's the solution I am currently using:

{
      groupName: "Recommended",
      wallets: [
        injectedWallet,

        // We would run into `ReferenceError: indexedDB is not defined` during SSR without the check
        ...(typeof indexedDB !== "undefined"
          ? [trustWallet, metaMaskWallet, walletConnectWallet]
          : []),
      ],
    }

This effectively prevents WalletConnect-related wallets from initializing during SSR.

I think we need to up the wagmi version here in Rainbowkit?

https://github.com/wevm/wagmi/releases/tag/wagmi%402.16.1

They seemed to update the version 4 days ago which is same as when walletConnect launched new version https://github.com/WalletConnect/walletconnect-monorepo/releases/tag/%40walletconnect%2Fsigner-connection%402.21.6 ?
