A LOT of confusion about what Metamask and ETH actually are as people scramble to sell $UNI
I’ll try to ELI5
1/
Ethereum is a blockchain. Think of it like your bank account
Metamask is a wallet that draws from and sends info to the blockchain. Think of it as your bank’s app

2/
If a token doesn’t show in Metamask, or a transaction is stuck this is an error in your “bank app”
As long as the bank’s record of your money is correct, there’s nothing to worry about.
Copy your wallet address, go to etherscan.io and paste it

3/
This is like the bank’s record of your account.
Now you can check pending transactions, as well as balances of all your tokens.
If the transaction that is “stuck” isn’t there, the problem is Metamask didn’t send it to the blockchain. Reset it metamask.zendesk.com

4 /
If the transaction that’s stuck is there but isn’t going through, you’ll likely need to increase the gas but the “Speed Up” function in Metamask rarely works when there’s congestion like now.
Do this @mattioo/how-to-cancel-a-pending-ethereum-transaction-with-metamask-66dafb84099e" target="_blank" rel="noopener" onclick="event.stopPropagation()">medium.com

5/
Once the “stuck” transaction has been cleared the other pending transactions will start to get processed and if necessary you can resubmit the transaction you had a problem with (this time with higher Gas)
One of these 2 steps will resolve 99% of issues I see people having
