Metamask: eliminate a waiting transaction due to smart contracts due to a low assessment
As an enthusiastic Ethereum user, you are not alone in being disappointed despite the expectations of transactions, although this is a low balance. The current problem is common with Metamask, with the popular browser extension used by developers and users.
In this article, we are immersed in the causes of a pending transaction problem and step by step a step to resolve it.
The problem: the pending transaction is greater than 24 hours
When you start a transaction with an intelligent contract with the help of Metamask, the extension will send the request to the Ethereum network. However, if the sender does not have enough ether account (ETH), he may not be able to continue the transaction.
For you, you have not left any ETH and tried to send gas fees to an intelligent contract that will lead to a pending transaction that lasted more than 24 hours. This can be uncomfortable, especially if you use your own funds without having enough balance.
Why is my transaction in progress?
There are many reasons why the transaction can be:
- Low eth
switch: the balance of your account does not have enough ether to cover the other requirements specified by gas costs or the intelligent contract.
2
- Congestion of the network : High congestion of the network can slow down transactions, which leads to longer treatment times.
How to withdraw or resolve my current transaction?
Follow these steps to resolve a suspended transaction:
Option 1: Check your balance
First check that you have enough swings on your account. You can do this by checking the Metamask dashboard or using Ethereum Explorer ( to see the account balance.
`Javascript
Console.log (metamask.selelectedaddress);
console.log (metamask.ethbalance ());
` ‘
Option 2: Check the requirements of the smart contract
If you have added gas fees, make sure you are enough for the transaction. Otherwise, you have to increase it before continuing.
Option 3: Contact the developer or the assistance team
Contact more complicated problems, such as network congestion or dependencies to smart contracts, or contact Metamask support for help.
Conclusion
The removal of a pending transaction using Metamask requires basic troubleshooting. By following these steps and checking the balance of your account, you must be able to solve the problem quickly. Do not forget to always check the requirements of the smart contract and, if necessary, to ask for help to avoid other delays.
