_heading: Generic Error Codes
_heading: Generic Error Codes @<errors-generic>
_property: Logger.errors.NOT_IMPLEMENTED
The operation is not implemented.
_property: Logger.errors.NOT_IMPLEMENTED @<errors--not-implemented>
The operation is not implemented. This may occur when calling a method
on a sub-class that has not fully implemented its abstract superclass.
_property: Logger.errors.SERVER_ERROR
_property: Logger.errors.SERVER_ERROR @<errors--server-error>
There was an error communicating with a server.
_property: Logger.errors.TIMEOUT @<errors-Timeout>
This may occur for a number of reasons, for example:
- a [CORS](link-cors) issue; this is quite often the problem and also the
hardest to diagnose and fix, so it is very beneficial to familiarize
yourself with CORS; some backends allow you configure your CORS, such as
the geth command-line or conifguration files or the INFURA and Alchemy
dashboards by specifing allowed Origins, methods, etc.
- an SSL issue; for example, if you are trying to connect to a local node via
HTTP but are serving the content from a secure HTTPS website
- a link issue; a firewall is preventing the traffic from reaching the server
- a server issue; the server is down, or is returning 500 error codes
- a backend DDoS mitigation proxy; for example, Etherscan operates behind a
Cloudflare proxy, which will block traffic if the request is sent via
specific User Agents or the client fingerprint is detected as a bot in some
cases
_property: Logger.errors.TIMEOUT @<errors--timeout>
A timeout occurred.
_property: Logger.errors.UNKNOWN_ERROR @<errors-UnknownError>
_property: Logger.errors.UNKNOWN_ERROR @<errors--unknown-error>
A generic unknown error.
_property: Logger.errors.UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION @<errors-UnsupportedOperation>
_property: Logger.errors.UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION @<errors--unsupported-operation>
The operation is not supported.
This can happen for a variety reasons, for example:
_heading: Safety Error Codes
- Some backends do not support certain operations; such as passing a blockTag
to an [[EtherscanProvider]] for [call](Provider-call)
- A [[Contract]] object connected to [[Provider]] (instead of a [[Signer]]) cannot
[sign](Signer-signTransaction) or [send](Signer-sendTransaction) transactions
- a [[Contract]] connected to a [[Signer]] without a [[Provider]] is write-only
and cannot estimate gas or execute static calls
_property: Logger.errors.BUFFER_OVERRUN
_heading: Safety Error Codes @<errors-safety>
_property: Logger.errors.BUFFER_OVERRUN @<errors--buffer-overrun>
The amount of data needed is more than the amount of data required,
which would cause the data buffer to read past its end.
_property: Logger.errors.NUMERIC_FAULT @<errors-NumericFault>
This can occur if a contract erroneously returns invalid ABI-encoded
data or RLP data is malformed.
_property: Logger.errors.NUMERIC_FAULT @<errors--numeric-fault>
There was an invalid operation done on numeric values.
Common cases of this occur when there is [[link-wiki-overflow]],
[[link-wiki-underflow]] in fixed numeric types or division by zero.

_property: Logger.errors.INVALID_ARGUMENT @<errors-InvalidArgument>
_property: Logger.errors.INVALID_ARGUMENT @<errors--invalid-argument>
The type or value of an argument is invalid. This will generally also
include the ``name`` and ``value`` of the argument. Any function which
accepts sensitive data (such as a private key) will include the string
``[\[REDACTED]\]`` instead of the value passed in.

waiting for a [[providers-TransactionReceipt]] which failed during execution.
_property: Logger.errors.INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS
Consult the contract to determine the cause, such as a failed condition
in a ``require`` statement. The ``reason`` property may provide more
context for the cause of this error.
_property: Logger.errors.INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS @<errors--insufficient-funds>
The account is attempting to make a transaction which costs more than is

of data is 4 gas for each zero byte and 68 gas for each non-zero byte.

_property: Logger.errors.NETWORK_ERROR @<errors--network>
An Ethereum network validation error, such as an invalid chain ID.
_property: Logger.errors.NONCE_EXPIRED

a higher gas price.

This error occurs when the gas price is insufficient to //bribe// the transaction
pool to prefer the new transaction over the old one. Generally, the new gas price
should be about 50% + 1 wei more, so if a gas price of 10 gwei was used, the
replacement should be 15.000000001 gwei.
replacement should be 15.000000001 gwei. This is not enforced by the protocol, as
it deals with unmined transactions, and can be configured by each node, however
to ensure a transaction is propagated to a miner it is best practice to follow
the defaults most nodes have enabled.
