Solution Implementation Status
Date: 2026-01-27
Status: 🔍 VERIFICATION IN PROGRESS
Problem Summary
Issue: Simple transfers failing without getting a transaction hash
Root Cause: Besu RPC nodes don't support eth_sendTransaction - require eth_sendRawTransaction
Solution: Two approaches available
Solution Approaches
Approach 1: Client-Side Solution ✅ IMPLEMENTED
Status: ✅ Fully Documented and Verified
What's Done:
- ✅ Root cause identified and documented
- ✅ Solution documented with code examples
- ✅ Test scripts created and verified
- ✅ Example code provided (JavaScript and Python)
- ✅ All RPC nodes verified to support
eth_sendRawTransaction
Files Created:
RPC_TRANSACTION_FAILURE_ROOT_CAUSE.md- Root cause analysisBESU_TRANSACTION_SOLUTION_COMPLETE.md- Complete solution guidescripts/test-eth-sendrawtransaction.sh- Verification scriptscripts/example-send-signed-transaction.js- JavaScript examplescripts/example-send-signed-transaction.py- Python example
Verification:
- ✅ All 10 RPC nodes tested
- ✅
eth_sendRawTransactionconfirmed working - ✅
eth_sendTransactionconfirmed NOT supported (as expected)
Status: ✅ READY FOR CLIENT IMPLEMENTATION
Approach 2: RPC Translator Service ⚠️ PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED
Status: ⚠️ Supporting Services Deployed, Translator Service Pending
What It Does:
- Intercepts
eth_sendTransactionrequests - Automatically signs transactions via Web3Signer
- Converts to
eth_sendRawTransaction - Forwards to Besu RPC nodes
- Provides transparent compatibility layer
Architecture:
Client → RPC Translator (port 9545) → Besu RPC (port 8545)
├─ Web3Signer (signing)
├─ Redis (nonce management)
└─ Vault (configuration)
Supporting Services Status:
| Service | VMID | IP | Port | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Redis | 106 | 192.168.11.110 | 6379 | ✅ Deployed & Running |
| Web3Signer | 107 | 192.168.11.111 | 9000 | ✅ Deployed & Running |
| Vault | 108 | 192.168.11.112 | 8200 | ✅ Deployed & Running |
Translator Service Status:
| VMID | IP | Port | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2400 | 192.168.11.240 | 9545 | ⏳ NOT DEPLOYED |
| 2401 | 192.168.11.241 | 9545 | ⏳ NOT DEPLOYED |
| 2402 | 192.168.11.242 | 9545 | ⏳ NOT DEPLOYED |
Deployment Status:
- ✅ Supporting services: 100% Complete
- ⏳ Translator service: 0% Complete (blocked by SSH authentication)
Location: /home/intlc/projects/proxmox/rpc-translator-138/
Deployment Scripts Available:
scripts/deploy-all-vmids.sh- Deploy to all VMIDsscripts/deploy-to-vmid.sh- Deploy to single VMIDscripts/check-service.sh- Verify service status
Implementation Recommendations
For Immediate Solution
Use Approach 1 (Client-Side):
- Update client code to use
eth_sendRawTransaction - Sign transactions before sending
- Use provided example code as reference
- ✅ Can be implemented immediately
For Long-Term Solution
Deploy Approach 2 (RPC Translator):
- Set up SSH authentication for VMIDs 2400-2402
- Run deployment script:
./scripts/deploy-all-vmids.sh - Configure translator service
- Update clients to use translator endpoints (port 9545)
- ⏳ Requires deployment step
Current Status Summary
| Component | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Root Cause Identified | ✅ Complete | Documented in RPC_TRANSACTION_FAILURE_ROOT_CAUSE.md |
| Client Solution | ✅ Complete | Examples and documentation ready |
| Verification Scripts | ✅ Complete | All RPC nodes tested |
| RPC Translator Code | ✅ Complete | Code ready in rpc-translator-138/ |
| Supporting Services | ✅ Complete | Redis, Web3Signer, Vault running |
| Translator Deployment | ⏳ Pending | Needs SSH setup and deployment |
Next Steps
Option A: Use Client-Side Solution (Immediate)
- ✅ Already Complete - Documentation and examples ready
- Update client applications to use
eth_sendRawTransaction - Test with provided example scripts
- ✅ Can be done immediately
Option B: Deploy RPC Translator (Long-term)
- Set up SSH authentication for VMIDs 2400-2402
- Deploy translator service:
cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox/rpc-translator-138 ./scripts/deploy-all-vmids.sh - Configure translator endpoints
- Update clients to use translator (port 9545) instead of direct Besu (port 8545)
- ⏳ Requires deployment
Verification Checklist
Client-Side Solution ✅
- Root cause documented
- Solution documented with examples
- Test scripts created
- Example code provided (JS and Python)
- All RPC nodes verified
- Client applications updated ⚠️ REQUIRES CLIENT ACTION
RPC Translator Service ⏳
- Code written and ready
- Supporting services deployed
- Deployment scripts created
- SSH authentication configured
- Translator service deployed
- Translator service tested
- Clients updated to use translator endpoints
Conclusion
Client-Side Solution: ✅ Fully Implemented - Ready for use
RPC Translator Service: ⚠️ Partially Implemented - Needs deployment
Recommendation:
- Immediate: Use client-side solution (update clients to sign transactions)
- Long-term: Deploy RPC translator for transparent compatibility
