AlreadyNoted

Error v133 → current 14.1

A preimage with this hash has already been stored. Preimages are identified by the Blake2 hash of their content, so identical call data will always produce the same hash.

Encountered by: validatorsdevelopers

Why This Error Exists

Preimages are content-addressed by hash. Once noted, the same content does not need to be stored again.

From Chain Metadata

Preimage has already been noted on-chain.

What This Means

A preimage with this hash has already been stored. Preimages are identified by the Blake2 hash of their content, so identical call data will always produce the same hash.

Common Causes

  • Submitting the same preimage (call data) that was already stored
  • Another account already noted this exact preimage
  • Accidentally calling note_preimage twice

How to Fix

  • Query Preimage.StatusFor with the hash to confirm it exists
  • Use the existing preimage — no need to store it again
  • If you need a different preimage, modify the call parameters
