How to Understand the “Execution Reversed” Error on Solana
As a newcomer to the Bullx platform, you are likely experiencing frustration when trying to sell your tokens. One error message that can make this process even more challenging is the “Execution Reversed: TransferHelper: TRANSFER_FROM_FAILED” error. In this article, we will break down what this error means and provide guidance on how to resolve it.
What does the “TransferHelper: TRANSFER_FROM_FAILED” error indicate?
The “TransferHelper: TRANSFER_FROM_FAILED” error occurs when the Solana blockchain’s TransferHelper contract fails to complete a transaction. This can happen due to a variety of reasons, including:
- Insufficient gas supply
- Incorrect account balances or wallet addresses
- Issues with the sender’s wallet connection (e.g. network errors)
- Lack of sufficient funds for the transaction
When does this error occur?
The “TransferHelper: TRANSFER_FROM_FAILED” error typically occurs when you try to sell tokens using the Bullx platform, particularly in scenarios where:
- You have purchased a token with an insufficient balance
- The recipient’s wallet is not connected or has few funds available
- There are issues with network connections or wallet authentication.
How to fix the “TransferHelper: TRANSFER_FROM_FAILED” error
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Step 1: Check your token balances and account balances
Check that you have sufficient balance on your purchased token on Bullx.
Make sure you have sufficient funds in your recipient’s wallet account by using a verified wallet address. If the wallet is offline or low on funds, you may need to transfer more tokens before selling.
Step 2: Check your transaction details and gas usage
Review the transaction history for any errors related to gas usage. Make sure that:
- The sender has sufficient funds for the transaction
- The recipient’s wallet is properly set up and connected to the network.
- There are no issues with network connections or wallet authentication.
You can use the Solana CLI (command line interface) to check your transaction details:
`blow
query solana -x "get_balance(0)" --type u64
This command will display the account balance as "0". Adjust the address and type accordingly.
Step 3: Check Wallet Connections
Make sure you have a valid wallet connected to Bullx. If you are using a new wallet, try reconnecting it to verify its functionality.
Step 4: Check Network Status and Gas Limits
Check that your wallet account balance is sufficient for the transaction. You can check the available gas limit:
blowquery solana -x "get_balance(0)" --type u64
This command will display the current gas limit for account 0. Adjust the number accordingly.
Step 5: Execute the Transfer Manually
If the problem persists, you may need to execute the transfer manually using a different method (for example, using the Bullx API). Make sure to follow best practices when executing transactions manually.
