Metamask and Trezor Transaction Issue: Binance Transaction Error
As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, you’re not alone if you’re experiencing issues with your Metamask wallet connecting to your Binance account. A recent issue has led to many users encountering problems with their transactions being displayed in the transaction history on Etherscan, as well as within their Metamask and Trezor wallets.
The Issue:
The problem lies in the way MetaMask and Trezor wallets connect to the blockchain. When a user logs into their wallet, it sends a request to Binance’s API to retrieve the transaction history of the specific address they’re trying to view. However, due to a recent Metamask update, this request is now being sent through the Trezor wallet instead.
What You Can Do:
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- Check your Binance account settings: Ensure that you’ve enabled the “Smart Contract” option on your Binance account. This setting allows the Metamask API to send requests directly to the blockchain.
- Restart MetaMask and Trezor: Sometimes, simply restarting both wallets can resolve connectivity issues.
- Update the Trezor wallet software: Ensure that you’re running the latest version of the Trezor wallet software. You can check for updates on the official website.
- Disable and re-enable Metamask
: On your Binance account settings page, disable the “Smart Contract” option and then enable it again. This will allow MetaMask to reconnect with the blockchain.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Check transaction history: Ensure that you’re viewing transactions on Etherscan for the correct address.
- Verify wallet connection: Make sure Metamask is connected to your Binance account by checking the “Connected” status in the MetaMask settings.
- Disable and re-enable transaction logging: On your Binance account, go to Settings > Advanced > Transaction Logging. Enable it, then disable it again.
Conclusion:
The issue with transactions being displayed as successful when they weren’t is a common problem for users switching from traditional wallets like MetaMask or Trezor to more modern alternatives like Binance. By following these troubleshooting steps and updating your wallet software, you should be able to resolve the issue and view your transaction history accurately.
