My transaction has been pending for a long time. What can I do?
If your transaction has been pending for a long time, you have three available options.
- Wait — the Algebra interface has a default transaction deadline setting of 30 minutes, after which the transaction will automatically fail. Once the transaction has failed, you can resubmit your transaction.Â
- Speed up — wallets like Metamask offer users the ability to speed up their transactions by re-submitting them with a higher gas price. This is not necessarily guaranteed to work. (Metamask guide)
- Cancel — wallets like Metamask also offer users the ability to cancel their transactions by submitting an ‘empty’ transaction with a higher gas price. This is not necessarily guaranteed to work. (Metamask guide)
