Nonce 23 Stuck Transaction - Resolution Guide

Date: $(date)
Status: ⚠️ NONCE 23 STUCK WITH EXTREMELY HIGH GAS PRICE

🔍 Root Cause Identified

Issue

Nonce 22: Was incomplete (now resolved)
Nonce 23: Stuck with extremely high gas price (>1,000,000 gwei)
Cannot replace even with maximum gas prices

Evidence

Current nonce: 23
Attempted replacement with: 1,000,000 gwei
Error: "Replacement transaction underpriced"
Transaction NOT found in mined blocks

📊 Current Status

Nonce: 23 (stuck)
Networks Configured: 6/7 ✅
- ✅ BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism
- ❌ Ethereum Mainnet (blocked by nonce 23)

💡 Solution Options

Option 1: Wait for Transaction Expiration (If Configured)

Some Besu configurations have transaction pool retention periods:

Check Besu config for tx-pool-retention-hours
Wait for retention period to expire
Transaction will be automatically removed

Check retention period:

# On ML110
pct exec 2500 -- grep -i "retention" /etc/besu/config-rpc.toml

Option 2: Use Different Deployer Account (RECOMMENDED)

Advantages:

Completely bypasses stuck nonce
Fast and reliable
No node restarts needed

Steps:

Create new account (already created: 0xC13EfAe66708C7541d2D66A2527bcBF9992e7186)
Fund with ETH
Use for Ethereum Mainnet configuration

Option 3: Clear Transaction Pool Database

WARNING: Requires stopping nodes

# On ML110
# Stop RPC node
pct exec 2500 -- systemctl stop besu-rpc

# Clear transaction pool (if accessible)
# Location may vary by Besu version
pct exec 2500 -- find /data/besu -name "*pool*" -type d

# Restart
pct exec 2500 -- systemctl start besu-rpc

Option 4: Wait for Transaction to Mine

If the transaction eventually gets mined (even if it fails), the nonce will advance:

Monitor nonce: cast nonce <address> --rpc-url <rpc>
Once nonce advances, retry configuration

🎯 Recommended Action

Use Option 2 (Different Account) - Fastest and most reliable:

Fund new account with ETH:

cast send 0xC13EfAe66708C7541d2D66A2527bcBF9992e7186 \
  --value 10ether \
  --rpc-url http://192.168.11.250:8545 \
  --private-key <ORIGINAL_PRIVATE_KEY> \
  --gas-price 10000000000

Configure Ethereum Mainnet with new account:

cast send 0x89dd12025bfCD38A168455A44B400e913ED33BE2 \
  "addDestination(uint64,address)" \
  5009297550715157269 \
  0x8078a09637e47fa5ed34f626046ea2094a5cde5e \
  --rpc-url http://192.168.11.250:8545 \
  --private-key <NEW_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY> \
  --gas-price 10000000000

📋 Investigation Summary

Completed

✅ Nonce 22 identified and resolved
✅ Nonce 23 identified as stuck
✅ Attempted replacement with 1,000,000 gwei (failed)
✅ Validator logs checked (7 pending transactions)
✅ Transaction history checked (not mined)
✅ Besu caches cleared
✅ New account created

Findings

Transaction with nonce 23 has gas price >1,000,000 gwei
Transaction is in validator mempools (not just RPC)
Transaction persists after cache clearing
Cannot be replaced with standard methods
