This article is for you if you are facing a Metamask transaction not showing on Etherscan. As it turns out, this is a common problem on MetaMask, and many users have experienced it.
Why do I see my MetaMask transaction not showing on Etherscan?
Your first step should be visiting a block explorer and determining if your transaction has been published. Make sure you are accessing the relevant block explorer for the network you are using - for example, Etherscan for Ethereum, or BscScan for BSC. So if you view Etherscan and show "Sorry, we couldn't find this TxnHash" for pending transactions probably that would be the network error. But do not worry about that you can fix that error.
How to fix that error?
Here is the step-by-step process:
- Look for problematic transactions. If not easily identified by timestamp and token count, you can try cross-referencing the transaction ID or entering it into the search bar of the block explorer.
- If your transaction is visible on the block explorer, wait for it to complete, speed up or cancel it.
- If your transactions are not visible in the block explorer, but still appear as pending in MetaMask, you should first try restarting your browser.
This can sometimes clear your transaction queue. If this doesn't work, you may need to reset your account. You can read our related articles about how to rest Metamask account.
Can an Ethereum transaction be stuck forever?
It is also possible that your transaction will remain pending indefinitely. In this case, you need to resubmit the transaction.
So I hope you are concerned about why do I see my Metamask transaction not showing Etherscan may solve now. Pending transactions are those that have not yet been processed by the Ethereum network. You can speed up pending transactions by replacing them with new ones with higher fees.
