Hey @ciricc it looks like your trying to generate a transaction to send 0.1 NEOX to GJeEoPQPXjxxfkdBzQ23FSGWBN26iB9P9q and are running into some trouble. No worries, there seems to be a slight issue with the inputs to your transaction. Error code -22 indicates that there is an issue with the structure of the transaction. Since you are trying to send NEOX to that address, you need to provide the transaction with a valid UTXO input.

For example:

neoxa-cli createrawtransaction "[{\"txid\": \"73d23debd79b11b81152cb2a4571bb02a68c3128c12820534609769c81836385\",\"vout\": 0}]" "{\"GNcbu5GuZKMUui8A9eZxGXhJurgSixNRfT\": 0.01}"

Now when I go to decode the transaction:

{
  "txid": "4296a14aa234fbac6589defd641a31b4d37d47b07f8c0cb7f2423221f99c86d9",

      "vout": 0,
      "scriptSig": {
        "asm": "",
        "hex": ""
      },
      "sequence": 4294967295
    }
  ],

        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "hex": "0200000001856383819c760946532028c128318ca602bb71452acb5211b8119bd7eb3dd2730000000000ffffffff0140420f00000000001976a9143453c363ed2d12f8f4450a3754c81f784aeb002e88ac00000000"
}

You can list unspent UTXOs with:

neoxa-cli listunspent

No worries, there seems to be a slight issue with the inputs to your transaction. Error code -22 indicates that there is an issue with the structure of the transaction

Thank you for your reply! I want to use createrawtransaction with fundrawtransaction after. But with this issue i can't. What's my case? I wrote Bitcoin compatible transaction processer, which using bitcoin's RPC API and another compatible blockchains (like Neoxa), but only in the Neoxa now i have this problem.

I think that is the bug, because i read documentation of fundrawtransaction method. There is this message:

Examples:

Create a transaction with no inputs
> neoxa-cli createrawtransaction "[]" "{\"myaddress\":0.01}"

Add sufficient unsigned inputs to meet the output value
> neoxa-cli fundrawtransaction "rawtransactionhex"

Sign the transaction
> neoxa-cli signrawtransaction "fundedtransactionhex"

Send the transaction
> neoxa-cli sendrawtransaction "signedtransactionhex"

So, now i cna't use fundrawtransaction method in any way because when i use it, it tries decode transaction by decoderawtransaction method and returns me an error.
