Hi guys, I’m trying to deploy an upgradeable contract on Mainnet and i keep getting this error response:

      //  },
      //  evmVersion: "byzantium"
      // }
    }
  }
};

I’ve deployed the contract on ropsten and Kovan network and it works perfectly but fails to deploy on mainnet

Hi @DragonLord,

Getting your account from the transaction hash, there are two pending transactions from your account:

The current gas price is around 50 gwei, whilst your transactions are 20 gwei.

You will either need to wait for gas prices to drop otherwise you will need to clean these up, see: https://ethgasstation.info/blog/stuck-transaction-guide/

As an aside, I recommend using a different mnemonic for testnets and mainnet to reduce the risk of a mainnet mnemonic being compromised.

Hi @abcoathup, Is there a way to set the gas price in truffle-config.js file?

Hi @DragonLord,

Yes there is. Specify gasPrice in your network configuration.

See the Learn guides for an example:

Also see the Truffle documentation:

Hi @DragonLord,

I assume that you were able to deploy after that. Did you need any more information?

Hi @abcoathup, I was able to deploy the contract on mainnet thanks to the links you sent above.

Hi @DragonLord,

Great to hear.

Etherscan supports proxies, so if you verify your implementation contract, then you can use Etherscan to read/write via the proxy.
