List of Transaction Error Messages

Here is the list of failed transaction messages which can be checked by querying your transaction hash, checking the transaction hash on explorer or checking the blockchain pool transactions.

Here is how with the hmy cli :

./hmy failures plain --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io"

failed messages are network and shard specifics, please use the shard you were sending the transaction from and change the --node value accordingly. Mainnet example on shard 1 would be : https://api.s1.t.hmny.io

Message

Notes

transaction size is <tx size in Bytes>: oversized data

A transaction cannot be more than 32KB to prevent DDOS attacks

transaction value is <tx value>: negative value

Transaction value is negative

transaction gas is <tx gas-limit>: exceeds block gas limit

Assumed to be hardcoded / config

transaction sender is <tx from addr>: invalid sender

Transaction sent from an invalid account

transaction gas-price is <tx gas-price> ONE: transaction underpriced

Too low transaction fee

transaction nonce is <tx nonce>: nonce too low

Occurs when the nonce associated with that transaction is too lower than the actual nonce

insufficient funds for gas * price + value

Usually when not enough holdings to pay for gas

transaction gas is <tx gas-limit>: intrinsic gas too low

Intrinsic gas is based on the size of the transaction including data

transaction gas-price is <tx gas-price> ONE in full transaction pool: transaction underpriced

Transactions can get dropped if tx pool is full and tx has lowest gas

existing transaction price was not bumped enough: replacement transaction underpriced

If a transaction attempts to replace another with less gas than the original, it will get dropped

old transaction, nonce <tx nonce> is too low

During promotion (from 'future' txs to pending txs in pool) the nonce is checked again

unpayable transaction, out of gas or balance of <acc bal in ONE >cannot pay cost of <cost on ONE>

During promotion (from 'future' txs to pending txs in pool) balance is checked again

exceeds cap for queued transactions for account <one1... address>

Each account has a limit in the number of txs it can put into the tx pool

fairness-exceeding pending transaction

If tx pool is full, txs from accounts with highest number of total transactions in pool will be dropped

exceeds global cap for queued transactions

Occurs when the tx can´t be queued because global cap for queued tx pool exceeds the max

old transaction, nonce <tx nonce> is too low

During demote (from pending txs in pool to 'future' txs) the nonce is checked again

unpayable transaction, out of gas or balance of <acc bal in ONE > cannot pay cost of <cost in ONE>

During demote (from pending txs in pool to 'future' txs) balance is checked again

demoting pending transaction

Tx was not added to the pool and move to queue of 'future' txs
