Description

i want to setup a private network that is gasless and able to submit contracts

Acceptance Criteria

able to get my contract deployed and transactions approved.

Steps to Reproduce (Bug)

setup my besu using ibft2 with 4 validators and 1 rpc node
validators are up and running and able to create blocks.
when i sent a test raw transaction t send eth, it is not getting confirmed and pending in the txpool

Expected behavior: [What you expect to happen]
able to get my transaction confirmed

Actual behavior: [What actually happens]

Can you try using the sequenced txpool https://besu.hyperledger.org/public-networks/concepts/transactions/pool#sequenced-transaction-pool

@fab-10 did you have another theory on this one?

[dragoonduel]

I tried sending transactions with gasfee 1 apparently the transactions went through. It seems that even though the chain is started as a zero gass fee network (confirmed during startup), it seems that it still requires gas fee. Not sure if it is a bug or not..

I managed to solved it by changing the genesis to start with londonblock and zerobasefee=true and able to take in 0 gas fee in transactions and it is getting confirmed. Seems berlinblock has issues with zero gas fees
