ValueError: Transaction gasPrice (0) is too low for the next block, which has a baseFeePerGas of 1

Question

I'm working with brownie, and I'm trying to deploy a pretty large smart contract, and I keep running into this:

ValueError: Transaction gasPrice (0) is too low for the next block, which has a baseFeePerGas of 1

What gives?

Answer 1

This means 1 of 2 things:

1. You need to set a manual gas price with something like:

some_gas_price = 100000 
contract.deploy({"from": from_account, "gas_price": some_gas_price})

or you could use a gas strategy:

from brownie.network.gas.strategies import GasNowStrategy
.
.
.
contract.deploy({"from": from_account,"gas_price": GasNowStrategy("fast")})

Or

2. You are trying to deploy a contract that is way too big.

If this is the case, you'll have to reduce the size of your contract.
