I can’t give you financial advice. However, I can give you some general information about MetaMask and how to fix the problem.
What is Metamask?
Metamask is a popular Ethereum-based wallet software that allows users to store, manage, and send cryptocurrency balances across different blockchain networks.
Insufficient Funds for Gas
When sending funds from one blockchain network (in this case, BSC) to another (e.g., Binance Smart Chain), the transaction requires “gas” to be paid. If the sender does not have sufficient funds in their MetaMask account, they may not have enough Ether (Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency) to cover the gas costs.
Solutions:
1. Check your balance and available Ether
- Make sure you have enough Ether in your MetaMask account.
- Review your wallet’s transaction history to identify any pending or failed transactions that may be causing insufficient funds.
2. Update your MetaMask software
- Make sure you are running the latest version of MetaMask, as updates can fix known issues with gas costs.
3. Increase your Ether balance
- If you hold BSC tokens (18 USDT), consider transferring some of them to a different wallet or exchange that accepts Binance’s native token.
- Alternatively, explore other Ethereum-based wallets that offer more affordable gas fees.
4. Use a MetaMask extension
Some MetaMask extensions, such as the “MetaMask Extension for Gas Prices” or “GasPrice,” can help you estimate the current gas price and optimize your transactions to reduce costs.
5. Consider using a different wallet for Binance Smart Chain
- If you are constantly running out of funds due to insufficient Ether balances on MetaMask, consider transferring some of your BSC tokens to a different Ethereum-based wallet that supports Binance Smart Chain.
- Alternatively, explore alternative wallets that offer more affordable gas fees.
By implementing these solutions, you should be able to resolve the issue of insufficient funds for gas and continue using Metamask for your BSC transactions.
