Anyone have the same problem?

I used quite high gas, and the transaction is stuck for 40 hrs. The transaction was for the full amount of wallet (125ETH) so I cant do the traditional send 0 ETH as there is no gas left. Will the transaction eventually stop?
Almost everyone have this problem due to the congested network. How much gas fee you had used for such a big transaction of 125 ethereum? AFAIK, current recommended gas fee is about 300 which you may not aware of it.

It may take months for the transaction to get cancelled so better refill your wallet and increase the fee for faster confirmation.

the network is really crowded and it seems you think you are already setting the gas high enough but maybe youre following the old gas price and therefore makes your transaction stuck. this kind of case you just need to wait it's gonna be succesfully sent or your money goes back to your wallet. youre not gonna lost your money.

I think ETH is still in your wallet because it is unconfirmed in the ETH network, so just raise the gas fee really high and I believe your transaction will be confirmed soon. Btw you're moving 125 ETH so try to pay 5-10 $ in fees, it will definitely be fine

It is pretty normal nowadays, Ethereum network is overloaded due to high number of transactions on Ethereum network caused by DeFi fewer. You can wait or you can cancel your transaction, by sending 0ETH value transaction to yourself with higher fees.

fill your wallet with a little more Ethereum, then increase the GAS you are using to normal GAS ...

You can check ethgasstation.com to find out how much GAS is normal and what is the transaction speed when using a specific amount of GAS

good luck and hope your 120 ETH will be sent soon

I've had the same problem as you. the transaction was delayed because the GAS fee was too small, so I tried to repeat the transaction with a higher amount of GAS and it worked. try to see your current balance, if the amount of ETH is still there, try again with a higher GAS. The GAS problem, which is currently increasing, may not be a significant problem for big traders, but for small traders like me, of course this is a big problem, because I only get a small profit.

In my mobile wallet they will suggest you use a high transaction fee so it will get mine quickly, this days transaction fee is a problem,  if you don't want you transaction to get stuck than you try increase the gas, sadly this is what we have to face with using eth blockchain, hope this high feed will readjust sometime soon.

If you don't have any problem spending some extra GWEI as a gas fee then use the speed-up transaction feature of MEW which will save you a lot of time. You can also cancel a transaction using mew.

I hope, such high tx fees won't get usual. For big transactions of several k USD it is still cheap but for smaller ones tx fees are very wasteful.
For now, I'm just waiting, avoid transactions and try to transfer Ethereum or ERC-20 later.

Hy mate, the ethereum network is very congested and you made your transaction stuck by using low fee. It may take some time before confirmination.
How ever, I suggest you get some amount of Ether to try the below step. It actually work some days ago, when someone complained about pending transaction.

found this instruction worth trying.

Canceling means generating a 0 ETH transaction to your own address with the purpose of preventing a previous transaction from “going through” / “being mined” / “being included in the blockchain” / “being stuck”.

Step 1. Head to Etherscan.io or Ethplorer.io.

Step 2. Paste your transaction hash.

If it says pending, you can still try to cancel it.
If it says not found, click the button again, waiting a few minutes between each click. If that doesn’t work, it’s likely your transaction never went through.
If it says success, you cannot try to cancel it.
Step 3. If it says pending, access the wallet you used to send the original transaction on MEW.

Step 4. Send a transaction to yourself with a balance of 0 ETH.

Step 5. Click the ‘Send Transaction’ button.

Step 6. A dialog will appear. Click the “Yes, I’m Sure” button to send.

Step 7. A new transaction hash will appear. Click the link to view it and see if you were successful. If it doesn’t show up immediately, try refreshing in a few minutes.

I never tried it before but you can resort to this method. Usually when my transaction is pending Ive just replace it with higher gas but never actually tried to cancel it. Depends also on the miners and the gas fee you used. Chances that your first transaction to be replace by the second one is high as long as you put a higher has fee.

It will be dropped if it won't pushthrough. If it's drop in the network, increase more the fee.
Yours is 125 ETH, fees would be regretting to spend.

Many people who transact with gas standard or under his for the thrifty fee but it turns out most will fail and only a few successful to have gotten right transaction success with 2. hours time Check your etherscan, you will get information about the cost of gas the minimum necessary, try to add a higher gas to process the transactions are quickly and successfully.

It seems like this incident is the same as my friend, he sent some eth for a low fee but the transaction he did was very long for the entry process, I think he had to wait 2 hours then the transaction he did automatically failed and he sent it back with very very fuel costs high, then it worked. I think you are using too low a transaction fee and therefore taking a long time to send. We recommend that if you want to transact quickly, it is better if you use standard or high fees so that there are no problems in the transactions you do.

Will the transaction eventually stop?

The transaction will be canceled within 2-3 days if the network is not able to confirm it successfully.


if you go to ethescan, you will get info about the minimum GAS fee required for current transactions to be confirmed by the network for at least the longest time. You have to set your GAS at least more than that maybe douuble or triple to get confirmation faster.

You should have put the transaction link here for us to be sure the issue you are having is indeed related to the gas used. If the gas is not enough, the transaction would cancelled and your Ether would return to your address unless you have another issue.

How much do you use GAS? I have experience sent with quite a lot of gas and still pending,
but after I made the same transaction 2 times and added gas, my transaction was successful, try to increase your GAS
