gas now strategy doesn't work

Question

When I'm using GasNowStrategy("fast") in my contract deployment I get an error:

    from brownie.network.gas.strategies import GasNowStrategy


def main():
    dev = accounts.add(config["wallets"]["from_key"])
    print(dev)
    print(network.show_active())
    deployed_contract = Bbum.deploy(
        {"from": dev, "gas_price": GasNowStrategy("fast")}
    )

What is the problem here?

the error:

Answer 1

So, I understood that GasNowStrategy has been shut down, it may be related to domestic regulatory policies. So if anyone encounters this issue, please change to other gas strategy.

Answer 2

I'm working on a personal fix, but you are going to have to emulate_fetch_gasnow and the strategies in network.gas.bases under a new script so you can change the endpoint.
