How To Increase Gas Price For A Pending Transaction In Metamask?
To increase the gas price for a pending transaction in MetaMask, follow these steps:
1. Open your MetaMask wallet extension in your browser.
2. Look for the pending transaction you want to increase the gas price for in the transaction history or activity tab.
3. Click on the transaction to open its details.
4. In the transaction details, you should see an option to "Speed Up" or "Cancel" the transaction. Click on "Speed Up" if available.
5. If "Speed Up" is not available, you can manually replace the transaction with a new one using a higher gas price.
6. To create a new transaction, go to the desired dApp or platform where you initially initiated the transaction.
7. Repeat the steps to perform the same action as before, but this time choose a higher gas price. The gas price determines the transaction's priority and speed of execution.
8. Confirm the new transaction in MetaMask, following the prompts and verifying the details.
9. Once confirmed, the new transaction will replace the previous one with the higher gas price.
10. Miners prioritize transactions with higher gas prices, so your transaction should be executed more quickly.
It's important to note that increasing the gas price may incur additional fees, so be aware of the costs associated with higher gas prices before proceeding.
