I have sent ETH to a contract address, and it "failed" the transaction saying it is: Warning! Error encountered during contract execution [Reverted]

contract address and transaction failure here:

Revert is a new opcode from Byzantium. When an execution throws, before Byzantium, all gas was consumed and the contract remained in the previous state (it rolled back). Now, it doesn't consume all gas, because with this opcode the execution get's reverted and the remaining gas gets returned to the function caller.

  • Ok so it is preventing the execution to save the gas. But then why is it preventing the execution? – BitkZ Mar 6 '18 at 6:26
  • It is the equivalent of a throw, why your code throws, i don't know – Hari GTT Psicolabis Mar 15 '18 at 20:59
