Cancel Stucked/Pending Transactions on Mainnet
March 29th, 2023

All of us have faced this issue before Stucked/Pending transaction that can’t be executed...

Especially right now, when everyone is trying to Grind on zkSync, zkEVM and Starknet and prepare yourself for the airdrop.

But most of the time we are able to Reset Metamask account to get rid of the Stucked/Pending transaction on Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BSC & Avalanche chains.

Buuuuuut… What to do if your transaction STUCKED on MAINNET?! 🤔 You aren’t able just to reset your MM account, because your transaction will still be on EtherScan.io with Pending Status… 🤯

It can take HOURS…DAYS…of awaiting when GWEI drop down by itself and get your transaction executed. But what if you need to cancel transaction immediately?! 😱

So I’m here to HELP you. Follow these instructions below to EXECUTE/CANCEL your STUCKED/PENDING transaction on Mainnet✌️

👉Step I

Open your MetaMask Web Wallet. Click on Settings > Advanced > Scroll down and find “Customize transaction nonce” and TURN it ON 😉

👉Step II

Open Etherscan.io > find your stucked transaction, and open the new page with it 🤧

Scroll down to the “More Details” Graph and Click on Expand. After that you will be able to see your NONCE number and remember it. Then we have to proceed with the following steps:

  • Open Metamask and click Speed Up on your Stucked/Pending transaction

  • Click manage (to put the GWEI settings manually), input the following number 👇

    • GWEI = 50

    • Priority Fee = 1

    • Gas Limit = 25000

  • Save and Confirm (sign) your transaction

👉Step III

For the next step we need to send Transaction to our OWN address.

  • Open Metamask, Copy your wallet address

  • Click on SEND and Paste your wallet address

  • Don’t input any ETH or other assets (we’ll send 0 transaction)

  • Click on NEXT

  • Click manage (to put the GWEI settings manually), input the following number 👇

    • GWEI = 50

    • Priority Fee = 1

    • Gas Limit = 25000

  • Click on Save

P.S. Remember the NONCE’s number of your STUCKED transaction? Now it’s to input it😜

  • On CUSTOM NONCE 👉 input your STUCKED transaction NONCE

  • Click on Confirm (sign) your transaction

Aaaand 🥁 Congratulations. Finally your Stucked/Pending transaction CANCELED

P.S. It might happened that your Transaction’s Priority Fee was higher that 1, in this case you need to input higher numbers, for example 👉

  • GWEI = 50

  • Priority Fee = 2 (or higher)

  • Gas Limit = 25000

Most important is that your Gwei , Priority Fee and Gas Limit settings were the same with pending transactions and with transaction you’re executing to your own address. So keep an eye on, and good luck. ⚡️
