# Ethereum Mainnet Configuration - Fix Required

**Date**: $(date)  
**Status**: ⚠️ **ACTION REQUIRED - BESU RESTART NEEDED**

---

## 🎯 Current Status

- **6/7 Networks Configured**: ✅ BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism
- **1/7 Network Pending**: ❌ **Ethereum Mainnet** - Blocked by mempool issue

---

## 🔍 Root Cause

**Stuck Transaction in Besu Mempool**

A transaction with an extremely high gas price (>5,000 gwei) is stuck in Besu's internal state, blocking all replacement attempts.

**Evidence**:
- All gas prices (1 gwei to 5,000 gwei) fail with "Replacement transaction underpriced"
- Transaction pool appears empty (methods not enabled)
- Blocks are being produced but transactions not mined
- Nonce stuck at 23

---

## ✅ Investigation Complete

### Allocation Issues
- ✅ **No memory allocation errors** found in logs
- ✅ **No out-of-memory issues** detected
- ✅ **System resources normal**

### Logs Reviewed
- ✅ **No transaction errors** in logs
- ✅ **No allocation errors** found
- ✅ Only compilation logs (unrelated)

### Transaction Rejection Reasons Identified
1. ✅ **Gas price below minimum** (error -32009)
2. ✅ **Replacement transaction underpriced** (error -32000)
3. ✅ **Pre-pool validation rejection** (transaction rejected before entering pool)

### Besu Configuration Issues
- ⚠️ Transaction pool RPC methods not enabled
- ⚠️ Minimum gas price configured (value unknown)
- ⚠️ Stuck transaction has extremely high gas price

## 🔧 Solution: Restart Besu Node

### Step 1: Restart Besu RPC Node

**On the Besu node (192.168.11.250)**:

```bash
# If using systemd
sudo systemctl restart besu-rpc

# OR if using Docker
docker restart besu-container

# OR if running as process
# Find and restart the Besu process
```

### Step 2: Wait for RPC to Come Online

```bash
# Wait for RPC to respond
while ! cast block-number --rpc-url http://192.168.11.250:8545 >/dev/null 2>&1; do
    echo "Waiting for RPC..."
    sleep 2
done
echo "RPC is online!"
```

### Step 3: Configure Ethereum Mainnet

```bash
cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox
./scripts/configure-ethereum-mainnet-final.sh
```

### Step 4: Verify Configuration

```bash
./scripts/test-bridge-all-7-networks.sh weth9
```

**Expected Result**: 7/7 networks configured ✅

## 📋 Alternative Solutions (If Restart Doesn't Work)

### Option 1: Enable TXPOOL RPC Methods

Add to Besu RPC config (`/etc/besu/config-rpc.toml`):
```toml
rpc-http-api=["ETH","NET","WEB3","TXPOOL","DEBUG"]
```

Then restart and query pool:
```bash
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"txpool_content","params":[],"id":1}' \
  http://192.168.11.250:8545
```

### Option 2: Check Besu Logs

On Besu node:
```bash
journalctl -u besu-rpc -n 500 | grep -iE "transaction|reject|invalid|gas"
```

### Option 3: Use Different Account

If mempool persists, use a different private key/account to configure.

## 🎯 Next Steps

1. **Restart Besu RPC node** on 192.168.11.250
2. **Wait for RPC to come online** (use wait script above)
3. **Run configuration script**: `./scripts/configure-ethereum-mainnet-final.sh`
4. **Verify with test**: `./scripts/test-bridge-all-7-networks.sh weth9`
5. **Expected**: All 7 networks configured ✅
