How to modify or cancel a pending Ethereum transaction
Summary
Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that allows developers to create smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps). Ether (ETH) is the native cryptocurrency used for transaction fees. Transactions can become stuck due to low gas fees or network congestion, as validators prioritize higher fees. To address pending transactions, users can either speed them up by increasing gas fees or cancel them. Speeding up involves resubmitting the transaction with a higher fee, while cancellation can be done through wallet features or by manually setting a custom nonce. Understanding transaction states and selecting appropriate gas fees can help prevent future issues.
