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 analysis
  • BESU_TRANSACTION_SOLUTION_COMPLETE.md - Complete solution guide
  • scripts/test-eth-sendrawtransaction.sh - Verification script
  • scripts/example-send-signed-transaction.js - JavaScript example
  • scripts/example-send-signed-transaction.py - Python example

Verification:

  • ✅ All 10 RPC nodes tested
  • ✅ eth_sendRawTransaction confirmed working
  • ✅ eth_sendTransaction confirmed 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_sendTransaction requests
  • 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 VMIDs
  • scripts/deploy-to-vmid.sh - Deploy to single VMID
  • scripts/check-service.sh - Verify service status

Implementation Recommendations

For Immediate Solution

Use Approach 1 (Client-Side):

  1. Update client code to use eth_sendRawTransaction
  2. Sign transactions before sending
  3. Use provided example code as reference
  4. ✅ Can be implemented immediately

For Long-Term Solution

Deploy Approach 2 (RPC Translator):

  1. Set up SSH authentication for VMIDs 2400-2402
  2. Run deployment script: ./scripts/deploy-all-vmids.sh
  3. Configure translator service
  4. Update clients to use translator endpoints (port 9545)
  5. ⏳ 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)

  1. ✅ Already Complete - Documentation and examples ready
  2. Update client applications to use eth_sendRawTransaction
  3. Test with provided example scripts
  4. ✅ Can be done immediately

Option B: Deploy RPC Translator (Long-term)

  1. Set up SSH authentication for VMIDs 2400-2402
  2. Deploy translator service: 
    cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox/rpc-translator-138
./scripts/deploy-all-vmids.sh
  3. Configure translator endpoints
  4. Update clients to use translator (port 9545) instead of direct Besu (port 8545)
  5. ⏳ 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

Last Updated: 2026-01-27
Status: ✅ SOLUTION DOCUMENTED, DEPLOYMENT PENDING
