Fix Low Gas Fee Issues

If your transaction on Liberty Swap Finance fails, stays pending, or never gets confirmed, the most common reason is that the gas fee is too low.

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.
