Metamask Gas Estimation Error in Staking DApp: “We were unable to estimate gas” without enough original tokens
As an investor, you know how important it is to have the right amount of native tokens in your MetaMask wallet. However, when using a decentralized application (dApp) such as our staking dApp, you may encounter an unexpected error causing transactions to fail due to insufficient gas fees.
In this article, we will take a closer look at this issue and provide tips on how to fix it so that your decentralized application can run smoothly, without unnecessary delays and errors.
Issue: MetaMask Gas Estimation Error
When trying to complete a transaction on our staking dApp using MetaMask, you may see the error message “Failed to estimate gas.” This means that the decentralized application is unable to accurately calculate the amount of gas needed to complete the transaction.
Problem: Insufficient Original Credentials
The biggest problem is that you do not have enough original tokens in your MetaMask wallet. A certain amount of native tokens (NT) is required for the dApp to function properly, but if you do not have enough NT tokens in your wallet, you will not be able to make transactions.
Solution: Increase the original token amount
To solve this problem, you need to increase the amount of native tokens in your MetaMask wallet. This can be done as follows:
- Connecting your MetaMask wallet: Make sure you are connected to your MetaMask wallet and have at least one native identifier.
- Transferring NT tokens to your dApp account: After increasing the amount of native tokens (NT), transfer the required amount of tokens to your dApp account using the “Transfer” function in MetaMask.
Confirm your event
To ensure that the bug has been fixed and that gas fees have been charged correctly, it is important to verify your transaction:
- Check MetaMask console: Open the MetaMask console (MetaMask > Settings > Console) and check for any errors or warnings related to the gas concentration estimation.
- Check dApp logs: Check the logs of your staked dApp to see if there are any error messages indicating that there are not enough original tokens.
Additional tips
To avoid this issue in the future, consider:
- Testing with a smaller number of NTs: Before transferring a larger number of NTs, test it on a small scale to ensure that the transaction will be successful.
- Check dApp Logs Regularly: Be sure to check your dApp logs regularly for any error messages about gas usage estimation or insufficient seed tokens.
By following these instructions and tips, you should be able to resolve the “Failed to estimate gas” error on our decentralized staking app and continue to successfully execute transactions without any unnecessary delays or errors.
