Answer 1

It seems to be an issue with your brownie configuration file or environment file.

!DON'T PASTE YOUR PRIVATE KEY!

If you are using the following configuration part in brownie-config.yaml

wallets:
  from_key: ${PRIVATE_KEY}

Please check that you are also using dotenv with an .env file:

dotenv: .env

And in .env file, you set the following variable with your private key value:

PRIVATE_KEY='0xdeadbeefdeadbeef...'
