Lesson 5: insufficient funds for intrinsic transaction cost

[ivaibhavraheja]

This the code :

const ethers = require("ethers");
const fs = require("fs-extra");
require("dotenv").config();

async function main(){
  //connection to blockchain
  const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(process.env.RPC_URL)
  //connection to wallet for transaction
  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY, provider);
  const abi = fs.readFileSync("./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.abi", "utf-8");
  const binary = fs.readFileSync("./SimpleStorage_sol_SimpleStorage.bin", "utf-8");

  const contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, binary, wallet);
  console.log("Deploying, please wait...");
  const contract = await contractFactory.deploy(); //STOP here! wait for contract to deploy
  await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1);

  // get number
  const currentFavoriteNumber = await contract.retrieve();
  console.log(`Current favorite Number: ${currentFavoriteNumber.toString()}`); 
  const transactionResponse = await contract.store("2");
  // wait 1 block
  const transactionReceipt = await transactionResponse.wait(1);
  const updatedFavoriteNumber = await contract.retrieve();
  console.log(`Updated favorite Number: ${updatedFavoriteNumber.toString()}`)
}


main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
    process.exit(1);
  })

I am facing the following error:

Deploying, please wait...

Make sure the account you're using has funds

info: {
    error: {
      code: -32000,
      message: 'insufficient funds for gas * price + value'
    }
  }

I have the same problem. My account has 1ETH when I run the deploy.js

[ivaibhavraheja]

I have sufficient funds but stiill the error exists

[sillhero]

I have found my Alchemy network is wrong, My Account is SepoliaETH but Alchemy's network is Mainnet. So I create a new Alchemy App about Sepolia Network and then the problem has solved. Make sure you have the correct network.

It is still not working for me.

@ivaibhavraheja Try putting gasPrice and gasLimit into the config.js and try again

[BahadorGh]

Your config is on sepolia?

[BahadorGh]

Also can you log abi and bytecode ?

[BahadorGh]

Also replace await contract.deployTransaction.wait(1); with await contract.deployed(); and check again

[BahadorGh]

If you set right rpc there, I don't think the problem be from Alchemy

[COSMICnoob80]

await contract.deployed();
still not working.
