# MetaMask Transaction Dropped - Fix Guide
|
|
|
|
**Date**: 2025-01-27

**Transaction Hash**: `0x789a8f3957f793b00f00e6907157c15156d1fab35a70db9476ef5ddcdce7c044`
|
|
**Status**: ❌ **DROPPED**

## 🔴 Problem
|
|
|
|
Your transaction was **dropped** by the network. This means it was never mined into a block.
|
|
|
|
**Transaction Details**:
|
|
- **From**: `0x4A666...301C8`
|
|
- **To**: Imported account
|
|
- **Amount**: 1 ETH
|
|
- **Nonce**: 2445
|
|
- **Gas Limit**: 21,000
|
|
- **Max Fee per Gas**: <0.000001 ETH (too low!)
|
|
- **Total Gas Fee**: 0 ETH
|
|
- **Status**: Dropped
|

|
## 🔍 Why Was It Dropped?
|
|
|
|
**Root Cause**: **Gas price too low**
|
|
|
|
Your transaction had:
|
|
- Max fee per gas: `<0.000001 ETH` (extremely low)
|
|
- Total gas fee: `0 ETH`
|
|
|
|
The network requires a minimum gas price to process transactions. When the gas price is too low, validators/miners ignore the transaction, and it gets dropped from the mempool.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## ✅ Solution: Resubmit Transaction with Correct Gas Price
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Check Current Gas Price
|
|
|
|
The network's current gas price can be checked via:
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST https://rpc-http-pub.d-bis.org \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_gasPrice","params":[],"id":1}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Resubmit Transaction in MetaMask
|
|
|
|
1. **Open MetaMask**
|
|
2. **Go to Activity** tab
|
|
3. **Find the dropped transaction** (or create a new one)
|
|
4. **Set appropriate gas price**:
|
|
- **Max fee per gas**: Use the current network gas price (usually 1-10 gwei on ChainID 138)
|
|
- **Priority fee**: 1-2 gwei (optional, for faster processing)
|
|
5. **Submit transaction**
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Recommended Gas Settings for ChainID 138
|
|
|
|
**For Standard ETH Transfer** (21,000 gas limit):
|
|
- **Max fee per gas**: `1000000000` wei (1 gwei) or higher
|
|
- **Priority fee**: `100000000` wei (0.1 gwei) or higher
|
|
- **Gas limit**: `21000` (standard for ETH transfer)
|
|
|
|
**In MetaMask**:
|
|
- Click "Edit" on the transaction
|
|
- Set "Max fee" to at least **1 gwei** (0.000000001 ETH)
|
|
- Set "Priority fee" to **0.1 gwei** (0.0000000001 ETH)
|
|
- Confirm and submit
|

|
## 🔧 Alternative: Use MetaMask's Gas Estimation
|
|
|
|
MetaMask should automatically estimate gas, but if it's showing 0:
|
|
|
|
1. **Settings** → **Advanced** → **Reset Account** (if needed)
|
|
2. **Or manually set gas**:
|
|
- Max fee: `0.000000001 ETH` (1 gwei minimum)
|
|
- Priority fee: `0.0000000001 ETH` (0.1 gwei)

## 📋 Transaction Details
|
|
|
|
**Original Transaction**:
|
|
- Hash: `0x789a8f3957f793b00f00e6907157c15156d1fab35a70db9476ef5ddcdce7c044`
|
|
- Created: 17:38 on 12/26/2025
|
|
- Submitted: 17:38 on 12/26/2025
|
|
- Dropped: 17:39 on 12/26/2025
|
|
- Reason: Gas price too low (<0.000001 ETH)
|
|
|
|
**To Resubmit**:
|
|
- Use the same nonce (2445) or let MetaMask use the next available nonce
|
|
- Set proper gas price (minimum 1 gwei)
|
|
- Resubmit the transaction
|
|

|
## ⚠️ Important Notes
|
|
|
|
1. **Dropped transactions don't cost gas** - They were never mined, so no fees were paid
|
|
2. **Nonce is still valid** - You can resubmit with the same nonce or use the next one
|
|
3. **Check network gas price** - Always verify current gas price before submitting
|
|
4. **ChainID 138 gas prices** - Typically very low (1-10 gwei), but must be > 0
|

## 🎯 Quick Fix Steps
|
|
|
|
1. ✅ Check current gas price on ChainID 138
|
|
2. ✅ Create new transaction in MetaMask
|
|
3. ✅ Set Max fee to at least **1 gwei** (0.000000001 ETH)
|
|
4. ✅ Set Priority fee to **0.1 gwei** (0.0000000001 ETH)
|
|
5. ✅ Submit transaction
|
|
6. ✅ Wait for confirmation

## 📞 Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### If Transaction Still Gets Dropped
|
|
|
|
1. **Increase gas price** - Try 2-5 gwei instead of 1 gwei
|
|
2. **Check network status** - Verify ChainID 138 is operational
|
|
3. **Verify balance** - Ensure you have enough ETH for gas fees
|
|
4. **Check nonce** - Make sure nonce is correct (should be 2445 or next)
|
|
|
|
### If MetaMask Shows "Insufficient Funds"
|
|
|
|
- You need ETH for gas fees (even though gas is cheap on ChainID 138)
|
|
- Minimum recommended: 0.001 ETH for gas buffer
