Phantom Wallet Not Sending: Fixing Transaction Broadcast and Transfer Failures (2026)

Phantom Wallet users are experiencing comprehensive failures when attempting to send cryptocurrency to other wallets or exchanges, with transactions becoming stuck in the signing phase, failing to broadcast to the network, or returning “Transaction failed” errors immediately after confirmation. These sending failures affect Solana SOL, Ethereum ETH, ERC-20 tokens, and SPL tokens, blocking users from transferring assets, paying for NFTs, or moving funds to cold storage. Common manifestations include indefinite “Sending…” spinners, “Failed to send transaction” alerts, successful signing with subsequent network rejection, and gas estimation errors that prevent the transaction from ever reaching the blockchain.

The Transaction Broadcast and Nonce Failure

The sending failures originate from critical defects in Phantom’s transaction broadcast layer and Solana/Ethereum RPC management. Recent versions of the app and extension contain nonce calculation errors where the wallet generates incorrect transaction sequence numbers that validators reject as duplicates, particularly affecting Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains. The Solana transaction compiler fails to properly format recent blockhash requirements, causing “blockhash not found” errors that prevent SOL transfers from submitting to the network.

Additionally, the gas price oracle for Ethereum transactions fails to update dynamically, proposing stale fee structures that nodes reject during network congestion. The mobile application’s background service suspends during the broadcast phase, interrupting the network handshake and leaving transactions signed but unsubmitted. For token transfers, the SPL token account detection malfunctions, causing the wallet to attempt sends to non-existent token accounts that fail silently. These issues create the impression that funds are trapped, while the wallet interface shows sufficient balances but refuses to process outgoing transfers.

Solution

Solution 1: Install Phantom Previous Version

Resolution requires deploying the previous Phantom version that maintains stable transaction broadcast capabilities and proper nonce management.

Implementation process:

1. Save your Secret Recovery Phrase from Phantom Settings before modifications.
2. Remove the current installation to clear corrupted transaction queues.
3. Install the previous functional version:
   • Extension: Download Phantom Extension v24.5.0 here (broadcast stable)
   • Mobile: Download Phantom APK v24.5.0 here (sending functional)
4. Restore your wallet and allow network synchronization.
5. Test a small transfer to verify transactions broadcast successfully. Your stuck transactions should work now.

Option 2: Contact Support

If you don’t want to solve it yourself, Support can help solve the problem, send a ticket and they will respond within 1 to 3 days.

Fund Transfer Capability Restored

Following deployment of the previous version, sending functions operate with proper nonce calculation and stable RPC connections. Users can execute transfers to any destination address without encountering broadcast failures or stuck transaction limbo. The stable architecture ensures that signed transactions reach blockchain networks immediately, allowing funds to move freely between wallets and exchanges.
