Metamask Gas Estimation Error When Staking DApp: “We Could Not Estimate Gas” Without Sufficient Native Tokens
As a staker, you are aware of the importance of having sufficient native tokens in your MetaMask wallet. However, if you are using a decentralized application (dApp) such as a staked dApp, you may encounter an unexpected error that can cause transactions to fail due to insufficient gas fees.
In this article, we will delve into the issue and provide guidance on how to resolve it so that your dApp can continue to run smoothly without unnecessary delays and errors.
The Issue: MetaMask Gas Estimation Error
When trying to make a transaction in your staked dApp using MetaMask, you may see an error message that says “We Could Not Estimate Gas.” This means that the dApp cannot accurately calculate the amount of gas required to execute the transaction.
The problem: not enough native tokens
The main problem here is that there are not enough native tokens in your MetaMask wallet. A certain number of native tokens (NT) are required for the dApp to function properly, but if you do not have enough NT in your wallet, you will not be able to execute transactions.
The solution: increase the amount of native tokens
To fix this problem, you need to increase the amount of native tokens in your MetaMask wallet. This can be done by:
- Connecting your MetaMask wallet: Make sure you are connected to your MetaMask wallet and have at least one native token in it.
- Transferring NTs to your dApp account
: Once you have increased your Native Token (NT) amount, transfer the required tokens to your dApp account using the “Transfer” function in MetaMask.
Verify your transaction
To troubleshoot the error and calculate gas fees correctly, it is essential to verify your transaction:
- Check your MetaMask console: Open the MetaMask console (MetaMask > Settings > Console) and check for any gas estimation errors or warnings.
- Check your dApp logs: Review your dApp logs to check for any error messages indicating insufficient native tokens.
Additional tips
To avoid this issue in the future, consider:
- Test with a small amount of NT: Before transferring a larger amount of NT, test on a small scale to ensure that the transaction is successful.
- Check your dApp logs regularly: Regularly check your dApp logs for any gas estimation or insufficient native token errors.
If you follow these steps and tips, you should be able to resolve the “We were unable to estimate gas” issue in your dApp and continue to successfully execute transactions without unnecessary delays and errors.
