# GasLimitTooLow (/docs/errors/chain/GasLimitTooLow)

The transaction's `gas_limit` is below the intrinsic gas required, or too small to cover the weight and proof-size base cost. Raise the `gas_limit` argument, comparing against an `eth_estimateGas` result.

Declared by the `EVM` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`invalid_argument`](/docs/errors/invalid-argument).
