Occasionally you may feel like you’re stuck in limbo with MetaMask. You submitted a transaction and it says waiting or pending and nothing seems to happen. You may have tried to cancel the transaction and now it’s pending a cancellation as well.

This can happen for a number of reasons. Your MetaMask wallet will queue up transactions and if something fails due to a price movement or communication error, you may simply get into a backlog of requests.

So how do you reset MetaMask after your transactions fail to process?

1. Go into your Settings by selecting your Account button in the top right
2. Then select Advanced
3. Scroll down to Reset Account and select the button
4. Confirm in the popup

If you navigate back to the main screen of your wallet and select the Activity tab it should be totally clear. Now you can attempt to process the transaction and it should go through successfully.

The ‘gas fee’ is a transaction cost which you must pay to send tokens from one wallet to another, or to trade between two tokens.

On Ethereum the fee represents the network cost to process and validate your transaction in the next block. Units of gas are also represented in GWEI and the amount of GWEI required to complete one transaction will vary depending on congestion on the network.

In your MetaMask wallet you will be quoted a gas fee when you submit the transaction you would like to process.

You must then accept the gas fee to finalise the transaction. If successful it will be processed and you will receive a pop up confirmation.

You can trade tokens using the Internal Swap feature of MetaMask from your browser extension.

This means you can trade one token to another without navigation to a decentralised exchange. MetaMask will charge a small premium for the service.

To use this feature, select the Swap button from the main screen on your wallet.

You can then select any token which you have in your wallet and the amount you wish to trade. Then select the token you want to exchange it for in the box below.

You will also have the option to select slippage on this screen. Slippage is the percentage difference between the exchange price you are shown and the executed price of the transaction. This exists because in the small amount of time it takes to process your transaction, the price can move. The slippage is the percentage of your movement you will allow. If the price movement exceeds your rate of slippage, the transaction will not go through and you will keep your original token.

When you are happy, select Review Swap and MetaMask will fetch quotes from a selection of exchanges. If there is an exchange which will process the swap, you will be presented with the best exchange rate possible, plus the gas fee.

At this point you must confirm whether you want to go ahead with the transaction.

When you click Swap, MetaMask will now attempt the trade and it will go into processing. All being well, you will shortly get confirmation and the tokens will arrive in your wallet.

Make sure you have added the Custom Token to your wallet so that your new balance is visible.

By default your MetaMask wallet will show the balance of ETH in your wallet. However you can keep a wide range of tokens in your MetaMask Ethereum wallet, if they’re compatible with the Ethereum blockchain. These are called ERC20 tokens and they’re developed using Ethereum technology.

Exactly the same concept applies if you’re using MetaMask to connect to Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche Network, Polygon Network or any other blockchain. You can use this method to add Custom Tokens so they appear in your wallet.

Firstly there are a couple of things to know. When adding Custom Tokens to your MetaMask wallet, all you are really doing is making them visible. If you add a Custom Token and there are none in your wallet, your balance will appear as 0. If you delete the Custom Token, you’re not deleting any coins, you’re simply hiding visibility of your balance in your wallet.

So how do we add custom tokens to our wallet?

The first method is to use CoinGecko.

When you go to the token page on CoinGecko there is an Info section where you will find the Contract Address. In many cases there is a MetaMask fox icon which you can click to automatically sync the token details to your MetaMask wallet. Make sure you’re connected to the right blockchain network in your MetaMask extension before clicking the icon. For example, if you’re adding an Ethereum based token, you will need to be connected to the Ethereum blockchain using the dropdown button at the top of your browser wallet.

The second method is also on CoinGecko, but what if there’s no MetaMask fox to click?

Well you can copy the Contract Address and enter it manually.

Copy the address of the token you want to add and then open up your wallet. At the bottom of the wallet you’ll see a link for ‘import tokens’. Open this link and then switch the tab to Custom Token. Now paste the address into the ‘Token Contact Address’ box.

You should see the Token Symbol and Token Decimal appear automatically, and the Add Custom Token button should highlight. Now you can click through to add and import the token into your wallet.

The third method is using the blockchain explorer. For an Ethereum based token you can use Etherscan. You can find links to all the other top blockchain explorers here.

Navigate to the token page which you are looking to add. You can do this by searching the name or clicking the Explorer link on CoinGecko. In the example of Uniswap on Etherscan it would be: https://etherscan.io/token/0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984

Now find the Contract address for the token in the Profile Summary box and copy the long string. This can be pasted into your MetaMask wallet in the same was as Method 2.
