4.5Speeding up or cancelling a transaction

A transfer on Ethereum or another EVM network with a low fee may stay pending for a long time. Until the network accepts it, you can speed it up or cancel it by replacing it with a new transaction that pays a higher fee.

Speed up or cancel a transfer

Open Transactions on the Crypto tab or the page of the coin you sent (see 3.10), and tap the pending transfer — it has a spinner instead of an icon.
On the Crypto tab, open the coin you sent (see 3.10), and in the transaction list under the buttons, tap the pending transfer — a spinner circles its icon. The Android version has no combined transaction list (see 4.6).
In Transaction Info, tap Speed Up or Cancel TransactionCancel. The Status row of such a transfer is Pending.
The Speed Up or Cancel TransactionConfirm screen opens: an explanation at the top, then the transfer and the Network Fee. Check the fee — it must be higher than the original one. To raise it, tap the fee settings icon in the top right (see 4.2).
Tap Resend (speed up) or Cancel Transaction (cancel). After sending, Done appears, and you return to the coin page.

2	Speed Up — send the same transfer again with a higher fee.
3	Cancel — replace the transfer with a zero transfer to yourself.

Speed Up screen with Resend button — **Speed Up** resends the same transfer with a higher fee.

Cancel Transaction screen — **Cancel Transaction** replaces it with a zero transfer to yourself.

Confirm: speed-up explanation, network fee, Resend button — **Speed Up** resends the same transfer with a higher fee.

Confirm: cancel explanation, network fee, Cancel Transaction button — **Cancel** replaces it with a zero transfer to yourself.

How it works

Speed Up sends the same transfer again — same recipient and amount — with the same nonce and a higher fee. The network executes only one of the two transactions.
Cancel sends 0 of the network coin (for example, 0 ETH) to your own address with the same nonce and a higher fee. If the replacement gets in first, the original transfer isn't executed; you pay only the network fee.
The replaced transaction gets the Failed status in the history — that's expected.

Not guaranteedIf the original transfer gets into a block first, the replacement fails and the transfer goes through as sent.

When the options are available

Only on EVM networks — Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom and others — except Optimism and Arbitrum One.
Only for your own outgoing transfers that are still waiting (Pending). As soon as the transfer gets into a block (the Processing status), the buttons disappear.
Incoming transfers can't be sped up or cancelled.
Bitcoin and TRON transfers can't be sped up or cancelled (see 4.4).

If something goes wrong

Message	What to do
Transaction already in block	The transfer is already in a block; there's nothing to replace. The screen closes by itself; check the transfer status on the coin page.
Low Fee for replacement transaction	The new fee is not enough to replace the transaction. Raise it in the fee settings.
Can't replace transaction.	The transaction is already in a block. Close the screen and check the history.
The set transaction fee amount is insufficient for processing this transaction now.	The fee is below the network's current base fee. Raise it in the fee settings.
The current … balance is below the amount required to process this transaction, including the transaction fee.	You don't have enough of the network coin (for example, ETH) for the fee. Top up the balance or wait until the network accepts the original transfer.
Risky	A warning in the fee settings: with this fee, the replacement may get stuck too. Raise the fee.
Another error message	The network rejected the replacement — most often because the new fee isn't high enough above the original one. In a couple of seconds, you return to the transaction details: raise the fee and try again.
