Answer 1

Usually, such an error happens, when there are no tokens on the giver balance

Answer 2

For the ones who are using locklift init (like venom youtube tutorial) it configures the endpoint for Venom devnet. Which is not the Venom testnet. So, go into your locklift.config.ts and change

const VENOM_TESTNET_ENDPOINT = process.env.VENOM_TESTNET_ENDPOINT || "https://jrpc-testnet.venom.foundation/rpc";
const VENOM_TESTNET_TRACE_ENDPOINT =
  process.env.VENOM_TESTNET_TRACE_ENDPOINT || "https://gql-testnet.venom.foundation/graphql";

Edit: this didn't let me deploy the contract. So I had to use devnet instead. And get tokens through https://faucet.venom.network/.
