Parachain collator cannot produce blocks after acquiring a Relaychian slot. (best block #0, cannot author the 1st block from gensis) It is getting some error below, parachain nodes fails to decode parent_head passed by Relaychain. https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/blob/0c779d926beeb6e1f3f2aa777d9bcec792c0bdac/client/collator/src/lib.rs#L223

Debug log:

Could you teach me what could be the issue and how to avoid that?

Parachain: polkadot-0.9.19 Relaychain: westend based v0.9.23

Unlike this similar question (Parachain not producing blocks ? Error: Could not decode the head data), On-chain state of genesis-state (genesis head) & genesis-wasm (validationCode) properly starts with 0x.

    Have you created both genesis (state and wasm) using the same raw chain spec JSON file that your parachain is using to run? Maybe describing all the steps you took would be useful for us to help you.

  • You try using a file upload ?

  • Also as a best practice, updating your Polkadot dependency should match on collator and relay chain. In this specific case I think you at incompatible. Try updating your coalitor

  • Thank you for your comments @ArturGontijo Yes, genesis state and wasm comes from the same raw chain spec JSON file. raw.githubusercontent.com/AstarNetwork/Astar/fix/… parachain-id is 2006 export-genesis-state & export-genesis-wasm result in the above state.

I'm really, sorry. The reason was chain-spec raw.json file had some wrong data. After recreating spec json, it started to produce blocks.
