[BUG] The issue pertaining to transitioning from an ERC20 pointer to a CW20 contract

[dto-simba]

Chain ID atlantic-2 & pacific-1

Describe the bug After creating a standard ERC20 token on EVM, the pointer converts to a CW20 contract. The invocation of the "send" method on the CW20 contract fails.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ERC20 address '0xf65F985ccBAB8aFaA34a8E15ddd070c0A29C2a51'
2. Pointer cw20 address 'sei1r47t0rpwnm8uukmwr9c2rfxzxz73ntvenkp570s5y0p8gyamtxrqp2jj0c'
3. See error Invocation of the 'send' method

@dto-simba this seems like an issue with your account sequence number. Typically this can happen if a previous tx has failed. Is this still happening?

Closing for now, feel free to reopen if you're still seeing issues

It's not the nonce problem. I changed several addresses and got the same problem.

Confirmed on my end and tested fuirther, seems like an issue using pointers through contracts.

@dto-simba is it possible for you to share the contract source used here? It would help us with root causing the issue

@dto-simba we think that possible issue cause is the lack of wasm contract association to an EVM address, that is required when send method is translated to the EVM transfer.

Could you please associate contract address as:

seid tx evm associate-contract-address <wasm_contract_address_that_implements_receive> --from <sei_address> --fees 20000usei -b block

and then re-invoke the pointer contract?

[cordt-sei]

Could you please associate contract address as:

Wait.. that's the purpose of the associated contract addresses? Is this written anywhere?

For this specific case of sending funds to a contract address, contract address has to have associated EVM address, similar to what we have for regular addresses. We constantly working on improving the documentation and will cover this case soon.
