Gas Fee Issue with ERC721 Contract Creation on XDC Network

Gabriel Souza — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 20:26:09 +0000

Environment:

Network: XDC Apothem (Testnet)
Contract Type: ERC721
Deployment Method: Proxy pattern for contract creation

Issue Description
We're encountering a gas fee error when attempting to create ERC721 contracts through our proxy system. The error occurs specifically during the createCollection function execution.
Current Behavior

ERC20 contract creation works successfully
ERC721 contract creation fails with the following error:
Failed to send transaction: failed to send transaction: tx fee (7.62 ether) exceeds the configured cap (1 NB ether)

Technical Details
The error occurs in the contract method handler, suggesting that the gas estimation for ERC721 contract creation is significantly higher than expected. This appears to be specific to ERC721 implementations, as ERC20 deployments work without issues.

Steps to Reproduce

Deploy proxy contract
Call createCollection function with parameters for ERC721 contract creation
Transaction fails at execution with gas fee error

What We've Tried

Verified contract compilation settings
Confirmed proxy contract implementation
Tested successful ERC20 deployments through the same system

Any insights or recommendations from the community would be greatly appreciated. We're particularly interested in hearing from others who have successfully implemented ERC721 contract creation through proxy patterns on XDC.

Note: This is being tested on the Apothem testnet as part of our integration process.
