Describe the bug

Any attempt to create a transaction on the Taiko mainnet results in the following error:
Error: server returned an error response: error code -32000: pending state is not available

Version nightly-a428ba6ad8856611339a6319290aade3347d25d9 does not exhibit this issue.

looks like issue was introduced with updating alloy 0.6.4 #9280 @yash-atreya mind to have a look at? thank you!

I think it's an issue of Taiko's, Taiko doesn't support pending tag, ref NomicFoundation/hardhat#6076 (comment)

cast will send eth_estimateGas with the pending tag to estimate the gas usage, you can give the gas-limit to temporary bypass the error, eg:

cast send 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 --value 0 --rpc-url https://rpc.mainnet.taiko.xyz/ --interactive --gas-limit 21000

In foundry's side, I think maybe we can add a new arg for eth_estimateGas to use instead of the default pending tag

@jsvisa thank you, makes sense! @susuper pls use the --gas-limit to make it work.
Not sure though about adding the new arg for eth_estimateGas as that's Taiko related, @yash-atreya wdyt?

I don't think we should implement a workaround for this as Taiko should adhere to the execution spec and close this as won't fix

yep! I'd agree with @zerosnacks here. This issue arises after the alloy bump because we now set BlockId::Pending in alloy for eth_call and eth_estimateGas.

Yeah, agree with it. this bug should be fixed in Taiko's side.
