I logged the gas numbers:
Max fee for gas: 240394607536 Gas estimate: 149447303768
async function main() {
//create new wallet
const wallet = new Wallet(document.getElementById("prvkey").value, alchemy)
const abi = ["function transfer(address to, uint256 value)"];
const amountToSend = 30000;
//this should work now
const decimals = 18;
const amountToSendInDecimals = BigNumber.from(amountToSend).mul(decimals);
console.log(amountToSendInDecimals);
const iface = new Utils.Interface(abi);
const data = iface.encodeFunctionData("transfer", [faucetAddress, Utils.parseUnits(amountToSendInDecimals.toString(), "wei"),]);
//get gas values
const feeData = await alchemy.core.getFeeData();
console.log("Max fee for gas: " + feeData.maxFeePerGas);
console.log("Gas estimate: " + feeData.gasPrice);
const transaction = {
to: HMSBcontract,
nonce: await alchemy.core.getTransactionCount(wallet.getAddress()),
maxPriorityFeePerGas: feeData.maxPriorityFeePerGas, // This is the fee that the miner will get
maxFeePerGas: feeData.maxFeePerGas, // This is the maximum fee that you are willing to pay
type: 2, // EIP-1559 transaction type
chainId: 137, // Corresponds to POlYGON_MAINNET - 5 would be goerli
data: data, // encoded data for the transaction
gasLimit: Utils.parseUnits(feeData.maxFeePerGas.toString(), "wei"), // normal 250.000 - this causes error?
};
// Send the transaction and log it.
const sentTx = await wallet.sendTransaction(transaction);
console.log(sentTx);
await delay(3000);
getHBalance();
}
I try to send a transaction on the polygon blockchain using ethers.js which is built into the alchemy sdk. I created a dapp using webpack and the getBalance functions and the rest is working, only the transaction fails. I had the issue of the amountToSendInDecimals being too big at first but now that I am using a BigNumber that should be fine and I don't think this new issue is related to that but who knows. I want to send an erc20 token.
