I also tried increasing the gas budget, for example

```auto
sui client publish --gas-budget 300000

```

, I got another error:

```auto

```

And if I check my gas client

With recent changes, the gas budget required has gone up.  
This means you may need to `merge` coins to satisfy budget needs. I wouldn’t try transaction with anything less than 2-3 million MISTS.

@fastfrank Increasing the gas to 2-3 million MISTS did not help. I had the same error.

Finally, I was able to publish my contract to the **devnet** with a gas budget of 30000000.
