MetaMask Gas Estimation Error When Staking DApp: “We Could Not Estimate Gas” Without Enough Native Tokens
As a staker, you know how important it is to have enough native tokens in your MetaMask wallet. However, when using a decentralized application (dApp) like our staking dApp, you may encounter an unexpected error that causes transactions to fail due to insufficient gas fees.
In this article, we will dive deeper into the issue and provide advice on how to fix it so that your staking dApp can continue to run smoothly without unnecessary delays or errors.
Issue: MetaMask Gas Estimation Error
When trying to execute a trade on our staking dApp using MetaMask, you may receive an error message “We Could Not Estimate Gas.” This means that the dApp is unable to accurately calculate the amount of gas needed to complete the transaction.
Problem: Insufficient Native Tokens
The main problem is that the MetaMask wallet does not have enough native tokens. The dApp requires a certain amount of native tokens (NT) to function properly, but if you do not have enough NT in your wallet, you will not be able to make transactions.
Solution: Increase the amount of native tokens
To solve this problem, you need to increase the amount of native tokens in your MetaMask wallet. You can do this as follows:
- Connect your MetaMask wallet – Make sure you are connected to your MetaMask wallet and have at least one native token in it.
- Transfer NT to dApp account – Once you have increased your native token (NT) count, transfer the required tokens to your dApp account using the « Transfer » function in MetaMask.
Verify your transaction
To ensure that the error has been resolved and gas charges are being charged correctly, it is necessary to verify the transaction:
- Check MetaMask Console – Open the MetaMask Console (MetaMask > Settings > Console) and check for any errors or warnings in the gas estimate.
- Check dApp logs – Review your dApp’s staking logs to check for error messages indicating insufficient native tokens.
Additional tips
To avoid this issue in the future, consider:
- Test with a smaller amount of NT
– Before moving a larger amount of NT, test it on a small scale to ensure that the transaction completes successfully.
- Review your dApp logs regularly – Make sure to periodically check your dApp logs for error messages related to gas estimation or insufficient native tokens.
By following these steps and tips, you should be able to resolve the “Error estimating gas” issue in our decentralized staking application and continue to execute trades successfully without any unnecessary delays or errors.
