Introducing Smart Transactions: A New Feature for Safer and More Cost-Effective Blockchain Transactions
馃敟 Safer Transactions Ahead
MetaMask has introduced Smart Transactions, a new feature aimed at protecting users from harmful forms of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) and reducing costly on-chain failures. Smart Transactions represent a significant advancement in making blockchain transactions safer, more predictable, and cost-effective. During beta testing, Smart Transactions achieved a 99.5% transaction success rate, which means fewer failed transactions and more efficient interactions with the blockchain. The feature predicts gas costs more accurately, prevents costly front-running, and greatly reduces failed transactions, leading to fewer unnecessary losses. Additionally, users can monitor the real-time status of their transactions directly through an intuitive dashboard, offering a seamless and stress-free experience. Smart Transactions is an opt-in feature available to all users on the Ethereum Mainnet, and users can toggle back and forth from standard transactions anytime.
Failed transactions are costly and stressful. We want to make web3 as stress-free as possible. 馃攰Introducing Smart Transactions: A new feature that protects you from harmful forms of MEV and greatly reduces costly on-chain failures馃У馃憞
