Accounts provided by ganache-cli has no balance at all

Question

I have initiated a new private test ganache chain by the following commands.

>ganache-cli --db ./db

The db folder is newly created folder so its content is completely empty. I can see those results from console.

Listening on 127.0.0.1:8545

But I found that the above accounts' balances are all 0 ETH from metamask. Metamask's target chain was set to localhost:8545 which is ganache's RPC url.

It works well with ganache UI but not work properly with ganach-cli.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Here's how I fixed it.

1. Remove the localhost:8545 network in MetaMask. The "localhost" requires a network connection. It's better to specify 127.0.0.1

2. Add a new network with the values:

   • New RPC URL: HTTP://127.0.0.1:8545
   • Chain ID: 1337
   • Currency: eth

Note the above is for ganache CLI; Ganache runs on HTTP://127.0.0.1:7545

Hope that works!
