Why Does Metamask Say Insufficient Funds? This means that you do not have enough of the native token of your network in your account to pay for gas. Let's explore more.
Why Does MetaMask Say Insufficient Funds?
There are a number of reasons:
The first reason is that you lack the money to pay for your transaction. The second reason might be that your transaction cannot be fully covered by the gas fees that Metamask calculated. The last possible reason is that you are using a different Blockchain, such as Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and you do not have enough BNB in your wallet to cover the gas fees.
We will walk you through the process of fixing insufficient funds in Metamask step-by-step. In this how-to, the steps are for fixing the second reason. If you are not using the Ethereum network, try switching the network to the blockchain you are using and make sure you have enough funds, such as BNB, in your Metamask wallet before continuing with these steps. Alternatively, if you are using the Ethereum network, try switching the network to the Ethereum network.
1. Log in to Metamask wallet if you haven't already
2. Press the Send button.
3. Click edit in the details Tab.
4. In the edit priority Tab, click advance options
5. Verify that your gas limit is set to at least 21000 in the advance options tab. If your gas limit is already set at 21000 or higher you will need to increase slightly higher to another amount and also increase the max fees to the current base gas fees of the network.
