If you’re seeing an error related to the gas estimation when trying to approve or send a crypto payment, it may be caused by a problem with the RPC (Remote Procedure Call).
To resolve this, try changing the RPC in your wallet provider. The process for changing the RPC depends on the wallet you're using, but it's generally within the network settings. If you're using the MetaMask Wallet or Base (formerly Coinbase Wallet) browser extensions follow the guide below, respectively.
How to change the RPC URL in the MetaMask extension
For the MetaMask extension, follow these steps:
Open MetaMask extension

Click on the network icon in the top right
Click on the three vertical dots next to the relevant network to access more options

Click Save
Try again on Request Finance
