Once your transaction is broadcasted to the Bitcoin network, it enters the mempool awaiting confirmation. Occasionally, low-fee transactions can get "stuck." In this situation, the solution is to boost your transaction by changing the fee.

A higher fee increases the likelihood of a miner adding your transaction to a block.


Boosting A Transaction

  • Navigate to the transaction awaiting its first confirmation.

  • Click 'Boost Transaction'

  • Select a new transaction fee.

    • Select 'Advanced Options' to set your own fee.

  • After setting a new fee, you will need to sign the transaction again.

  • Once signed, the new transaction with a higher fee will be broadcasted to the network, effectively replacing the old transaction.

  • Select "View on Explorer" to monitor your new transaction on Mempool.Space or check the confirmation status on the Theya Vault homepage.

    • Your vault balance will adjust after 3+ confirmations.
