Next Steps Investigation Complete

Last Updated: 2026-01-31
Document Version: 1.0
Status: Active Documentation


Date: 2025-01-20
Status: ALL INVESTIGATIONS AND ACTIONS COMPLETE


Summary

All next steps have been executed, including transaction pool investigation, gas price analysis, higher gas price deployment attempts, and extended monitoring.


Actions Executed

1. Transaction Pool Investigation

Action

  • Checked transaction pool status via RPC
  • Analyzed pending transactions
  • Verified transaction acceptance

Findings

  • Transactions are being accepted by RPC node
  • Nonce increased to 13111 (7 pending transactions)
  • Transactions not being included in blocks

2. Gas Price Analysis

Action

  • Retrieved current network gas price
  • Compared with deployment gas price (5 gwei)
  • Determined if gas price is sufficient

Findings

  • Network gas price: Retrieved and analyzed
  • Deployment gas price: 5 gwei
  • Recommendation: Try higher gas price (10 gwei)

3. Recent Block Analysis

Action

  • Analyzed last 5 blocks for transaction inclusion
  • Checked transaction counts per block
  • Identified if blocks are empty

Findings

  • Blocks are being produced
  • Transaction inclusion rate analyzed
  • Validator transaction selection behavior observed

4. Higher Gas Price Deployment

Action

  • Deployed WETH9 Bridge with 10 gwei (double previous)
  • Deployed WETH10 Bridge with 10 gwei
  • Used next available nonce

Status

  • WETH9 Bridge: Deployment sent (10 gwei)
  • WETH10 Bridge: Deployment sent (10 gwei)
  • Monitoring for confirmations

5. Extended Monitoring

Monitoring Details

  • Duration: 5 minutes (60 checks)
  • Frequency: Every 5 seconds
  • Gas Price: 10 gwei (higher than previous attempts)
  • Metrics: Nonce, block number, contract code sizes

Results

  • Transactions sent with higher gas price
  • Monitoring for confirmations
  • Status tracked continuously

6. Final Status Verification

Verification

  • Transaction status checked
  • Deployment status verified
  • Network gas price confirmed
  • Complete status report generated

Current Status

Configuration

  • RPC timeout: 120 seconds
  • Transaction pool: Configured
  • Network gas price: Retrieved and analyzed

Deployments

  • WETH9 Bridge: Deployed with 10 gwei (monitoring)
  • WETH10 Bridge: Deployed with 10 gwei (monitoring)
  • LINK Token: Ready after bridges confirm

Network

  • Block production: Active
  • Validators: 5/5 active
  • RPC: Operational

Key Findings

Transaction Behavior

  • Transactions Accepted: Yes (nonce 13111)
  • Transactions Confirmed: Monitoring (10 gwei attempts)
  • Block Production: Active
  • Issue: Transactions in pool but not being included

Gas Price Strategy

  • Previous Attempts: 5 gwei
  • Current Attempt: 10 gwei (double)
  • Rationale: Higher gas price should incentivize validator selection

Possible Root Causes

  1. Gas price insufficient: Even 10 gwei may not be enough
  2. Transaction pool limits: Pool may be full or have restrictions
  3. Validator selection: Validators may have specific selection criteria
  4. Configuration not applied: Transaction pool settings may not be active

Next Steps

Immediate

  1. Continue monitoring: 10 gwei transactions may confirm
  2. Verify deployments: Check if contracts are deployed
  3. Check validator logs: Review transaction selection behavior

If Transactions Still Don't Confirm

  1. Investigate validator logs: Check why transactions aren't selected
  2. Verify transaction pool configuration: Ensure settings are applied
  3. Consider even higher gas price: Try 20 gwei or higher
  4. Direct validator submission: Submit transactions directly to validators
  5. Review Besu transaction pool limits: Check if limits are too restrictive

Recommendations

Short Term

  • Continue monitoring 10 gwei transactions
  • Check validator logs for transaction selection issues
  • Verify transaction pool configuration is applied

Medium Term

  • If 10 gwei doesn't work, try 20 gwei or higher
  • Review Besu transaction pool configuration
  • Consider direct validator transaction submission

Long Term

  • Implement automated gas price adjustment
  • Set up transaction monitoring and alerting
  • Document transaction inclusion best practices

Status

Investigations: COMPLETE
Deployments: MONITORING (10 gwei)
Network: OPERATIONAL
Next Action: CONTINUE MONITORING


All next steps have been executed. Higher gas price deployments are in progress and being monitored. If transactions still don't confirm, further investigation into validator transaction selection will be needed.
