How do I set custom Ethereum network fees?

Note that the custom fee you choose is the maximum fee that you might pay. In many cases, the gas for your transaction will cost less, and any extra ETH will be returned to your wallet.


Mobile

  1. In Exodus Mobile, navigate to your Ethereum (ETH) or ERC20 token wallet, then tap the Send icon.

  2. Tap the menu icon.

  3. Next:

    • a) Slide the slider to the left to pay a lower fee. Transactions with low fees will have lower priority and could get stuck if the fees are too low.

    • b) Slide the slider to the right to pay a higher fee. Transactions with high fees will have a higher priority, making it more likely that the validators will include it in the next batch of transactions they process.

    • c) Tap the pencil icon to input a custom fee manually.

  4. Finally, tap Confirm.

    A transaction with low fees will have lower priority and could get stuck if the fees are too low.

What should I do if my transaction gets stuck with a low fee?

If you set your custom fee too low or there is a sudden spike in network fees, your transaction might get stuck pending.

If this happens, then you might be able to accelerate the pending Ethereum or ERC20 transaction by paying a higher fee.
