# Fix Low Gas Fee Issues

This happens often during:

* High network congestion
* Volatile market moves
* Heavy trading activity

### 1️⃣ What does “Gas too low” mean?

Every transaction must pay a fee (gas) to be processed by the blockchain.

If your gas fee is:

* Below the current network minimum
* Lower than what other users are paying

Then validators will ignore your transaction, causing it to:

* Stay pending
* Be dropped
* Or fail

### 2️⃣ Quick fix: Increase gas and resubmit

Most wallets allow you to edit gas before confirming.

#### When signing a transaction:

1. Click **Edit Gas**, **Advanced**, or **Custom**
2. Increase:
   * **Gas price** (Gwei)
   * Or choose **Fast / High / Priority**
3. Confirm again

Higher gas = faster confirmation.

### 3️⃣ Speed up a stuck transaction

If your transaction is already pending:

#### In MetaMask, Rabby, OKX Wallet:

1. Open the pending transaction
2. Click **Speed Up**
3. Select **High / Fast gas**
4. Confirm

This resends the same transaction with higher gas and replaces the old one.

### 4️⃣ Use manual gas (Advanced users)

If automatic gas is not working:

Set:

* Gas Price = at least **1.5–2× higher** than the wallet’s suggested value
* Gas Limit = leave default unless you know what you’re doing

This ensures validators pick up your transaction.

### 5️⃣ Check gas before swapping

Before confirming a swap on Liberty Swap:

* If gas is very low compared to market → increase it
* If the network is busy → always use **Fast / Priority**

Saving a few cents in gas can cost you a failed transaction.

### 6️⃣ Switch RPC if gas is incorrect

Sometimes the wallet shows wrong gas due to a bad RPC.

If gas looks unrealistically low:

* Change to another RPC
* Reload Liberty Swap
* Try again

### Summary

If your Liberty Swap transaction fails or hangs:

1. Increase gas
2. Use **Speed Up**
3. Choose **Fast / Priority**
4. Set manual gas if needed
5. Switch RPC

Gas is not wasted if a transaction fails — it just wasn’t included in a block.
