What to do with a queued transaction in MetaMask?

MetaMask sign in is a great and simple way to deal with digital assets. By digital assets, we are referring to cryptocurrencies here. You deal in cryptocurrency via an online digital platform. Thus, it is obvious that there are times when you face some problems relating to the processing of transactions.

Sometimes the transaction you are performing gets stuck in between and you don’t find out a way out to solve the issue.

This article will guide you through the ways by which you can come out of this situation.

Speeding up a transaction

The very first and the primary resolution that you can adopt is to close and re-open your browser and then check the status of your pending transaction. If this measure doesn’t work out then you can step ahead to speed up the transaction. The steps to speed up a transaction are as follows:

1. Take a step ahead for logging into MetaMask sign in
2. Once you are logged in, scroll down the “Accounts” head
3. You’ll find a “Speed Up” option, hit on it

In this way, you re-submit the stuck transaction but an important thing here is that the gas fee will get varied with a high charge allowing your transaction to be processed faster. In other words, speeding up a transaction will increase the gas fee.

Cancelling a transaction

The other way to deal with a queued transaction is to cancel the same and then restart by making a fresh transaction. You can cancel the pending transaction (in the app) in the following manner:

1. Open the MetaMask application
2. Proceed for MetaMask sign in by entering true login credentials
3. Scroll down in the “Accounts” section
4. You’ll see a “Cancel” option next to the “Speed Up” icon, hit on it

With this, you have successfully cancelled a pending transaction. Please note, that you can only cancel a queued transaction and not the one that has been already processed.

Bottom Line

You can easily deal with a pending transaction with MetaMask Sign in. The above-mentioned options are simple to follow. By speeding up a transaction you agree to pay a high gas fee to get the transaction processed and with the latter one, you agree to cancel the stucked transaction. You can even wait a while or restart your browser or the app and check the transaction again.
