  This error usually occurs when there is a compatibility issue between the version of OpenSSL installed on your system and the version required by the cryptocurrency library you are using. To resolve this error, you can try updating OpenSSL to the latest version and then reinstalling the cryptocurrency library. If that doesn't work, you can also try using a different version of the cryptocurrency library or reaching out to the library's support team for further assistance.

  I had the same issue with the npm err_ossl_evp_unsupported error. After some research, I found out that this error occurs when the OpenSSL version used by the cryptocurrency library is not supported by your system. One way to resolve this is by updating OpenSSL to the latest version. Another option is to use a different cryptocurrency library that is compatible with your system's OpenSSL version. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
