Guidelines for optimizing Gas Fees

To adjust the price down, when making the transaction, click the Edit button in MetaMask.

A window titled “Edit priority” will appear. Simply adjust the price down to whatever you want, and click Save. Usually it’s not worth adjusting it more than a few clicks, because low offers could remain pending for a very long time.

Then click ‘Edit suggested’ gas fee and the window below will open. Set the Gas Fee to Medium (recommended) and click Save.

Now the Gas Fee has dropped and you can confirm your transaction.

If you found you adjusted the Gas Fee too low, you can simply follow the steps above for increasing the offer while the transaction is pending.

The MetaMask interface isn’t the most user-friendly, but once you’re familiar with adjusting gas fees you’ll be effortlessly saving time or saving money, depending on what’s more valuable to you!
