Avoiding Failed Transactions

On Bitiness, failed transactions can cost you time, BNB (gas fees), and patience. While they can happen for a variety of reasons, most are easily preventable with a few smart habits.

Here’s how to avoid them like a pro 👇

Why Do Transactions Fail?

1. Insufficient Gas Fees

   • If you don’t have enough BNB in your wallet to cover gas, your transaction will fail.

2. Too-Low Slippage Tolerance

   • If the market moves and the price changes more than your set slippage, the transaction won’t go through.

3. Token Approval Not Granted

   • You must approve a token before swapping or staking it for the first time.

4. Outdated Wallet or App Version

   • Using an older version of MetaMask or Trust Wallet may cause compatibility issues.

5. Network Congestion

   • If the BNB Chain is busy, your transaction might get delayed or dropped if your gas fee is too low.

How to Prevent Failed Transactions

Here are some easy steps to make your Bitiness experience smooth and stress-free:

1. Always Keep Extra BNB

• Keep a small buffer (e.g., 0.02–0.05 BNB) in your wallet just for gas.

• Never go all-in with your BNB!

2. Set Reasonable Slippage Tolerance

• Use 1%–2% for stable, high-liquidity tokens

• Use 3%–4% or higher for low-liquidity or volatile tokens

3. Approve Tokens First

• If you’re using a token for the first time, make sure to approve it in a separate transaction before swapping or staking.

4. Double-Check Network and Token

• Make sure you’re on the BNB Smart Chain and using the correct token address

• Only interact with official Bitiness interfaces and verified tokens

5. Use Recommended Gas Fees

• Let your wallet auto-set gas, or follow BscScan Gas Tracker

• Avoid lowering gas too much manually unless you know what you’re doing

6. Wait, Don’t Spam

• If a transaction is pending, don’t keep clicking "Confirm"

• Multiple overlapping transactions can conflict and fail

Pro Tip: How to Speed Up or Cancel a Stuck Transaction (MetaMask)

1. Go to your wallet → find the pending transaction

2. Click Speed Up (to raise the gas) or Cancel (if supported)

3. If needed, reset your wallet nonce in advanced settings and try again
