# Network Permissions Check - ChainID 138

**Date**: 2025-01-12  
**Purpose**: Check if network requires special permissions for contract creation

---

## Summary

Comprehensive check for network permission requirements and contract creation restrictions on ChainID 138.

---

## Checks Performed

### 1. Genesis Configuration ✅
- **File**: `smom-dbis-138-proxmox/config/genesis.json`
- **Consensus**: QBFT (Istanbul BFT)
- **Findings**: No explicit permission/whitelist settings found in genesis

### 2. Permission Contracts ✅
- Checked common permission contract addresses
- **Result**: No permission contracts found

### 3. Recent Deployments ✅
- Scanned last 200 blocks for successful contract creations
- **Result**: No successful deployments found
- **Implication**: May indicate network restrictions or low activity

### 4. Transaction History ✅
- Analyzed deployer's transaction patterns
- **Result**: Regular transactions work, contract creation fails

### 5. Network Type ✅
- **Consensus**: QBFT (Quorum Byzantine Fault Tolerance)
- **Block Period**: 2 seconds
- **Epoch Length**: 30,000 blocks

## Key Findings

### Network Configuration
- **Consensus**: QBFT (permissioned blockchain)
- **Block Gas Limit**: 30,000,000
- **No Explicit Permissions**: Genesis doesn't show permission requirements

### Deployment Failures
- All contract deployment attempts fail
- Transactions use all available gas (out of gas)
- Contract bytecode size: ~4.7KB (well under 24KB limit)

### Possible Causes
1. **QBFT Network Restrictions**: Permissioned networks may restrict contract creation
2. **Gas Limit Issues**: Contract deployment requires more gas than available
3. **Bytecode Optimization**: Contract may need optimization
4. **Network-Specific Rules**: ChainID 138 may have custom restrictions

## QBFT Network Characteristics

QBFT (Quorum Byzantine Fault Tolerance) networks are typically:
- **Permissioned**: Validators are known and controlled
- **May Have Restrictions**: Contract creation may require validator approval
- **Consensus-Based**: Transactions may need validator consensus

### Potential Restrictions
1. **Contract Creation**: May require validator approval
2. **Gas Limits**: May have lower effective limits than block limit
3. **Bytecode Size**: May have stricter size limits
4. **Access Control**: May require whitelisted addresses

---

## Recommendations

### Option 1: Check Validator Configuration
- Verify if contract creation requires validator approval
- Check if deployer address needs to be whitelisted
- Contact network administrators for permission

### Option 2: Optimize Contract
- Use Solidity optimizer with high settings
- Reduce contract bytecode size
- Remove unnecessary features

### Option 3: Use Alternative Deployment
- Deploy via network admin/validator
- Use Remix IDE with network admin access
- Request network administrator to deploy

### Option 4: Verify Network Rules
- Check network documentation
- Contact network operators
- Verify if contract creation is allowed for non-validators

## Status

✅ **Checks Complete**: All permission checks performed
