Provide a brief description of the functionality you're trying to implement and the issue you are running into.

We're getting intermittent "Not enough gas for transaction validation" errors when triggering transactions on abstract testnet. Any ideas why these are happening? Never seen this error before on other chains before. Here's the details error message including a sample eth_sendRawTransaction call which resulted in the error:

processing response error (body="{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"error\":{\"code\":3,\"message\":\"failed to validate the transaction. reason: Validation revert: Account validation error: Not enough gas for transaction validation\",\"data\":\"0x\"},\"id\":44}\n", error={"code":3,"data":"0x"}, requestBody="{\"method\":\"eth_sendRawTransaction\",\"params\":[\"0xf890828dcd8405f5e1008303354794f47b3c87f935be87b93fa143076d0acae9a1ab65880c7d5564081c30b3a00868873d702d74a422e3352eb0b1e70b986e61ff7db17757210acc97882e9c9582570ca0a1028ca4bc33e6dd68f17ead79545fe3b6f5e7ae50f00dcc31141165cc6b22e7a023b6d9610d08b85db054730885e696b4c1c159577737472b2b0f8c8fb7f8df4e\"],\"id\":44,\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\"}", requestMethod="POST", url="https://api.testnet.abs.xyz/", code=SERVER_ERROR, version=web/5.7.1)

At the time of the call, the sender of the transaction https://explorer.testnet.abs.xyz/address/0x3e34b27a9bf37d8424e1a58ac7fc4d06914b76b9 had ~10 ETH available, so definitely enough funds to pay for gas.

The error message "Not enough gas for transaction validation" that you're encountering on the Abstract testnet typically indicates that the gas limit set for the transaction is too low for the required validation process. This can happen even if the account has sufficient ETH to cover the gas fees. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:

1. Increase the Gas Limit: Ensure that the gas limit set in your transaction is high enough to cover all computations. Sometimes, the estimations might need to be adjusted higher than what is typically suggested.

2. Check Gas Estimation: Use tools or methods available on the Abstract testnet to estimate the gas required for your transactions accurately. This can help prevent such errors by ensuring that the gas limit is set appropriately before sending the transaction.

3. Network Congestion: Sometimes, network congestion can cause transactions to require more gas than usual. Check the current network conditions and adjust the gas limit accordingly.

4. Review Transaction Complexity: If your transaction involves complex operations or interacts with contracts that require more computational power, consider simplifying the transaction or breaking it into smaller transactions.

If you continue to face issues, it might be helpful to look into the specific configurations or requirements of the Abstract testnet regarding transaction processing and gas calculations.

hi @georgeroman - were you working with the paymaster?

[georgeroman]

No, this is just a regular transaction

[kaymomin]

It seems like the account does have enough funds, but the error might be related to gas. This could happen if the gas provided for the transaction was underestimated.

If you're developing or using a custom account, I recc reviewing this section in the Docs.

It didn't happen since yesterday, I'll keep an eye on it and try to increase the gas limit if it happens again. Thank you!
