   function checkSupply() payable public returns(uint){

        return tokenAddress.totalSupply();



   }

Answer 1

Sorry! I did not see it properly before. The function you have checkSupply should be view function and not payable. Eg.

function checkSupply() external view returns(uint256){
    return tokenAddress.totalSupply(); 
 }

You have to read from the totalSupply function from the proxy contract: https://etherscan.io/address/0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48#readProxyContract
