Metamask and Trezor Transaction Issue: Binance Transaction Error

As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, you are not alone if you are having trouble connecting your Metamask wallet to your Binance account. A recent issue has resulted in many users experiencing issues with their transactions showing up in Etherscan’s transaction history as well as in their Metamask and Trezor wallets.

Subject:

The issue lies in the way that MetaMask and Trezor wallets connect to the blockchain. When a user logs into their wallet, it sends a request to the Binance API to retrieve the transaction history for the specific address they are trying to view. However, due to a recent Metamask update, this request is now sent through the Trezor wallet.

What you can do:

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Check your Binance account settings: Make sure that you have enabled the “Smart Contract” option in 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 connection issues.

Update Trezor wallet software: Make sure you are using the latest version of the Trezor wallet software. You can check for updates on the official website.

Disable and re-enable Metamask: Disable and re-enable the “Smart Contract” option on your Binance account settings page. This will allow MetaMask to reconnect to the blockchain.

Troubleshooting Tips:

Check transaction history: Make sure you are looking at Etherscan transactions to get the correct address.

Verify wallet connection: Make sure Metamask is connected to your Binance account by checking the “Connected” status in MetaMask settings.

Disable and re-enable the transaction log: In your Binance account, go to Settings > Advanced > Transaction Log. Enable it, then disable it again.

Conclusion:

The issue of transactions showing 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.
