This guide provides insights into the nuances of conducting Ethereum token transactions seamlessly.

Introduction to ERC20 transactions in Magic Eden Wallet

ERC20 tokens, along with other tokens on the Ethereum platform, require Ethereum (ETH) for transaction payment on the Ethereum network.

Magic Eden Wallet offers users the ability to enable custom fees for ETH and ERC20 tokens.

Essential requirements for transactions

Necessary ETH balance

To send or swap an ERC20 token, use an ERC20 token, or send an ETH NFT, it's crucial to have sufficient ETH in the Magic Eden Wallet. This is to cover network transaction fees, commonly termed as 'gas'.

Insufficient balance notifications

If the ETH balance isn't enough for the desired transaction, the wallet will display an error message. The message will detail the minimum additional ETH needed to proceed.

Acquiring more ETH for transactions

Users can get more ETH in two main ways within Magic Eden Wallet:

  • Swap other assets (those not based on Ethereum) to ETH.

  • Receive ETH transfers from another wallet.

High network traffic and its implications

Transaction fees can spike during high network traffic periods. Miners tend to prioritize transactions that offer higher fees.

Monitoring ERC20 transactions

Users can check their transaction details using a block explorer, such as Etherscan.
