Verifying the Transaction on Etherscan
After sending ETH from Coinbase to MetaMask, it’s important to verify the transaction to ensure that it was successful. This can be done using Etherscan, a block explorer for the Ethereum network. Here are the steps to follow:
Etherscan is a website that allows users to view and analyze transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. It provides a wide range of information about each transaction, including the sender and recipient addresses, the amount of ETH transferred, and the transaction fee.
Finding the transaction on Etherscan
To find the transaction on Etherscan, first navigate to the website (etherscan.io). Once there, locate the search bar at the top of the page and enter the hash of the transaction. The transaction hash can be found on the Coinbase website or in the MetaMask wallet under the “Activity” tab.
Checking the transaction details to ensure it was successful
Once you’ve found the transaction on Etherscan, you can check the details to ensure that it was successful. Some important things to look for include:
- Confirmations: This indicates the number of blocks that have been added to the blockchain since the transaction was processed. Generally, the more confirmations a transaction has, the more secure it is.
- Gas Price: This is the amount of ETH paid to the miners for processing the transaction. Make sure it’s not too high or too low.
- Gas Limit: This is the maximum amount of gas that can be used to execute the transaction. If the gas limit is too low, the transaction may fail.
- Status: This should say “Success” if the transaction was processed successfully.
If all of these details look correct, then your transaction was successful and the ETH should now be in your MetaMask wallet. If there are any issues or errors, you may need to contact Coinbase support for assistance.
Verifying transactions on Etherscan is an important step to ensure that your funds are safe and secure. By following these steps, you can have confidence that your ETH transfer was successful and that your funds are where they’re supposed to be.
Network fees
When sending ETH from Coinbase to MetaMask (or any other wallet), you’ll need to pay a network fee to cover the cost of processing the transaction. This fee is paid to the miners on the Ethereum network, who perform the calculations necessary to validate and record the transaction on the blockchain. Here are some things to keep in mind when paying network fees:
Check the current fee levels
Network fees can vary depending on a number of factors, including network congestion, transaction volume, and gas prices. Before sending ETH from Coinbase to MetaMask, it’s a good idea to check the current fee levels and adjust your transaction accordingly. You can usually find this information on the Coinbase or MetaMask websites, or on a site like Etherscan.
Choose the right gas price
The gas price you choose will determine how quickly your transaction is processed, as well as how much you’ll pay in fees. If you’re not in a hurry, you can choose a lower gas price to save on fees, but this may result in slower transaction times. If you need your transaction to go through quickly, you may want to choose a higher gas price, but be aware that this will increase your fees.
Adjust the gas limit if necessary
The gas limit is the maximum amount of gas that can be used to execute the transaction. If the gas limit is too low, the transaction may fail or be rejected by the network. If the gas limit is too high, you may end up paying more in fees than you need to. You can usually adjust the gas limit on the Coinbase or MetaMask websites when sending your transaction.
By paying attention to network fees and adjusting your transaction accordingly, you can save money and ensure that your ETH transfer goes through smoothly. Remember to always double-check the details of your transaction before sending it, including the gas price, gas limit, and recipient address. If you’re not sure about something, it’s always better to ask for help than to risk losing your funds.

However, there may be some differences in terms of the specific steps involved or the fees charged, so it’s always a good idea to check the documentation for each wallet and exchange before proceeding.
