Your deployment failed due to insufficient funds. You need testnet ETH to pay for gas fees.

  • Required: ~0.0000036 ETH (3,607,392,600,000 wei)
  • Have: 0 ETH
  • Contract Address (simulated): 0x060d87018EE78c2968959cA2C8a189c12953Cc9A
  • Deployer Address: 0xf57E8952e2EC5F82376ff8Abf65f01c2401ee294

How to Get Base Sepolia ETH

Option 1: Coinbase Base Sepolia Faucet (Recommended)

  1. Visit: https://www.coinbase.com/faucets/base-ethereum-goerli-faucet
  2. Connect your wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.)
  3. Enter your address: 0xf57E8952e2EC5F82376ff8Abf65f01c2401ee294
  4. Request testnet ETH (usually 0.1 ETH per request)

Option 2: Base Sepolia Official Faucet

  1. Visit: https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/base-sepolia
  2. Connect your wallet
  3. Request testnet ETH

Option 3: QuickNode Faucet

  1. Visit: https://faucet.quicknode.com/base/sepolia
  2. Enter your address
  3. Request testnet ETH

Verify You Received ETH

After requesting from a faucet, wait a few minutes, then check:

cast balance 0xf57E8952e2EC5F82376ff8Abf65f01c2401ee294 --rpc-url base_sepolia

You should see a balance > 0.

Retry Deployment

Once you have ETH, retry the deployment:

forge script script/DeployTriviaBattle.s.sol:DeployTriviaBattle \
  --rpc-url base_sepolia \
  --broadcast \
  --verify

Alternative: Use a Different Wallet

If you have another wallet with Base Sepolia ETH:

  1. Update .env with the new private key
  2. Retry deployment

Troubleshooting

Still showing 0 balance?

  • Wait 2-3 minutes for the transaction to confirm
  • Check the transaction on Base Sepolia Explorer
  • Try a different faucet if one doesn't work

Faucet says "Already claimed"?

  • Some faucets have rate limits (e.g., once per 24 hours)
  • Try a different faucet
  • Use a different wallet address
