How To Adjust Gas Price Manually In Metamask?
To adjust the gas price manually in MetaMask, follow these steps:
1. Open your MetaMask wallet extension or mobile app and make sure you are connected to the desired network.
2. Click on the transaction you want to modify or initiate a new transaction.
3. In the transaction confirmation window, you will see a field labeled "Gas Price" or "Advanced Options." Click on it to expand the advanced settings.
4. By default, MetaMask provides an automatic gas fee estimation. To manually adjust the gas price, switch from "Automatic" to "Custom" or "Advanced."
5. Once you enable the custom setting, you can enter your preferred gas price in either Gwei (short for gigawei) or Wei. Gwei is the most commonly used unit for gas prices.
6. You can check the current average gas price on websites like Etherscan or GasNow to get an idea of the appropriate gas price range at the moment.
7. After entering the desired gas price, review the total estimated transaction fee that is displayed. Keep in mind that higher gas prices result in more expensive transactions.
8. Once you're satisfied with the gas price and transaction fee, click on the "Confirm" or "Send" button to proceed with the transaction.
Remember that setting a high gas price may result in faster confirmation times, but it will also cost you more in fees. Conversely, using a low gas price might cause delays in transaction processing. It's important to find a balance depending on your urgency and budget for the transaction.
