I have following contract here on ropsten https://ropsten.etherscan.io/address/0x813870feba76f27ec1afcf79432e065a4839f7ab#code

I want to use tokens from a different erc20 contract(0x8eB24319393716668D768dCEC29356ae9CfFe285) inside my own contract.

I know that i have to approve the amount i want to use in my own contract from the Token contract those tokens i want to use in my contract (0x8eB24319393716668D768dCEC29356ae9CfFe285).

What i did In remix i compiled the code and selected TOKEN from inside my contract, i deployed TOKEN "at address" of 0x8eb24319393716668d768dcec29356ae9cffe285

i than approved this address 0x813870feba76f27ec1AfcF79432e065A4839F7(my contract)

and set amount to approve to 2 Which all worked. enter image description here

But when i try to use the buy Function from inside my code- the transaction fails.

How can i use Token from a different erc20 Contract in my Contract?

So taking a look at the events on etherscan, it looks like Approval events have been submitted to approve the transfer of 2 tokens from

0x62f28320f688a7a4e0021c55d7ffd1acd770a133 (your wallet?)

to

0x813870feba76f27ec1afcf79432e065a4839f7ab (your contract)

enter image description here

However I wrote a small contract to check the balances and allowances in the ERC20 contract you are working with. The balance of your wallet 0x62f28320f688a7a4e0021c55d7ffd1acd770a133 in this ERC20 token contract is 0. I believe this is why the transfer is failing. You've approved the transfer of tokens to your contract, but the address you are trying to transfer tokens from does not have any.

Additionally, the msg.sender in the buy function needed to be listed as an ambassador.

  • Yes, but the address of AGI is 0xb97e9bbb6fd49865709d3f1576e8506ad640a13b not 0x8eB24319393716668D768dCEC29356ae9CfFe285 the address your are interacting with when you create your erc20 contract and try to make the transfer
