Metamask gas price error: how to set the price of zero gas and over
Are you using Metamask on your private blockchain and get a mistake when trying to set a zero gas price? You are not alone! Many users found this problem, especially during the first days of the platform. In this article, we will explore because Metamask is launching errors “the price of the gas must be greater than 0” and provide some alternative solutions to help you overcome them.
** What does the error cause?
When setting a zero gas price in Metamask, it is essential to understand how the Ethereum blockchain works. The gas is calculated on the basis of the block, the amount of the transaction and other factors. However, when trying to set a gas price starting from scratch, Metamask cannot carefully calculate the price.
Here are some possible reasons why this error occurs:
- incorrect calculation : the price of the gas may not be correctly calculated due to an incorrect or obsolete understanding of the blockchain parameters.
- Block Height Problem
: Some lock heights may not be correctly set, leading to a calculation of the defective gas price.
- Amount of the transaction : an amount of zero transaction can cause failure to calculate the price of the gas.
Solutions and solutions
Although there is no simple solution to get rid of the “gas price must be completely greater than 0”, we have some alternative solutions to help you overcome it:
1 solution: Increase the height of the block
A solution can be increased the height of the block. However, this may not always be feasible or desirable, especially if the private blockchain has a limited number of blocks.
`Javascript
Const {eters} = requirement ('eters');
// define the function of calculating the price of the gas
Async Calculagasprice (Blockheight) {
// Your Ethereum API (eg Ethers.js)
Const Api = expected Ethers.GetProvider ();
// Calculate the price of the gas using your bees
Const Gassrice = Blockheight * 1; // Suppose 1 Eth per block
Return Gasprice;
}
// Set the height of the block and calculate the gas price
Const Blockheight = 1000; // replace with the height of the desired block
Const Gasprice = wait calculategasprice (blockheight);
Solution 2: Use an API or a different method
You can try using an EPI or different Ethereum method to set the price of the gas. For the exam, it is possible to use theEthers.jsand the provider class to calculate the price of the gas.
Javascript
Const {eters} = requirement ('eters');
Const Provider = New Ethers.providers.jsonrpcPrprier ('http: // localhost: 8545');
// define the height of the block
Const Blockheight = 1000;
// Set the height of the block and calculate the gas price
Async Calculagasprice (Blockheight) {
Prozionamount = Ethers.utils.parsiunits ('1', 20); // Replace with the desired transaction amount
Const Gassrice = Wait Provider.Getgasprice (Transactionomount, Blockheight);
Return Gasprice;
}
// Calculate the price of the gas
Const Gasprice = wait calculategasprice (blockheight);
Solution
3: Manually set the block height
Another solution is manually setting a higher lock height. However, this approach may not be suitable for all scenarios.
Javascript
Const {eters} = requirement ('eters');
Const Provider = New Ethers.providers.jsonrpcPrprier ('http: // localhost: 8545');
// define the height of the desired block
Const Blockheight = 1000;
// manually set the height of the block
ABSWIT Provider.setblocknumber (Blockheight);

Conclusion
Although these solutions may not delete the “gas price must be completely greater than 0”, they can help you overcome it. Make sure to search and understand the parameters of the Ethereum blockchain and how gas prices are calculated before setting a zero gas price in Metamask.
