How can I manually add gas price and gas limit in ethers using async function

Moralis General
#1

const gas = async () => {

const ethers = Moralis.web3Library;

const web3Provider = await Moralis.enableWeb3();

const gasPrice = await web3Provider.getGasPrice();

const signer = web3Provider.getSigner();

const contract = new ethers.contract(“0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7”, ABI, signer);

const transaction = await contract.approve({

_spender: “0xc…”,

_value: 1,

gasLimit: 10000000,

gasPrice: gasPrice,

// nonce: nonce || undefined,

});

await transaction.wait();

};

Please here is my code

Please I’m still getting the “cannot estimate gas” error, please help

#6

where from is this gas limit?

on what network it is?

#7

I copied the gasLimit from an example.
I’m using ethereum network

#8

what are you trying to do there?

try to do some debugging, you may also need ETH to run that transaction

#9

I’m trying to manually add gas price cuz of the error message I’ve been having, but don’t know how to go about it. Yea I do have eth to run the transaction.
I just need the right code to implement the gas price

#10

main
Here is the error I have been getting

#11

you could get that error for various reasons, like contract exception, not enough eth, high gas limit

#12

I have got enough eth, and I’m calling usdt contract functions

#13

you could try it on a test network too, that gas limit doesn’t seem right for me, look at some transactions that are on chain to see what is the expected gas value for that transaction

#14

please can you paste the correct code with async function on how to go about it, please. I’ve been on this for a long time.

#15

I’m sure that you will find examples online, you can do it directly with web3 or ethers, I don’t understand what is the connection with async in particular

#16

whenever i make you of await function, i get the error message of me using async function, i’m new to this

#17

you have to define the function as async, if you use await inside that function

#18

i have tried alot of codes i,ve found online, but i keep getting the same error message

#19

i check other networks gasLimit and added it to mine, the error still showed

#20

try to look at a transaction that is on chain, or make a transaction on chain with metamask, look at the parameters for that transaction
