[Updating progress]

The root cause is that BTP Dashboard didn't catch an event when user speeds up their transaction from Metamask

Solutions:

1. Add an event listener for speeding up a transaction by Metamask API: they have a plan for this API but have not been implemented yet. Reported here
2. Ethers exposed API for this purpose: https://blog.ricmoo.com/highlights-ethers-js-may-2021-2826e858277d. But it doesn't work on my test, the same problem as: Enable EIP- 2831 Signer transaction.wait() style rejections. ethers-io/ethers.js#1477 (comment)
3. I'm having a test on this package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/find-replacement-tx

This issue also exists for Hana wallet, so please look into it for that as well.

Also, I would like to know how other bridges get around this issue. Harmony has their own bridge, see https://bridge.harmony.one.

Hi @CyrusVorwald-ICON, can I have a video recording of this issue on Hana? I'd like to see steps to reproduce to notice about the problem clearly, thank you.

Hi @CyrusVorwald-ICON, I'm now using a solution from this package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/find-replacement-tx/v/1.2.2) to solve this problem.

The testing video includes 2 parts (1. Cancel a tx, 2. Speedup a tx) here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RNBag7_UCXEckfMXsdRLW9BcnKbHplxS/view

Also, I would like to know how other bridges get around this issue. Harmony has their own bridge, see https://bridge.harmony.one/.

I'll need to take a deep look into their public repo here: https://github.com/harmony-one/ethhmy-bridge.frontend/tree/master/src to see how they handled this case. This action might take time, so I'll prioritize solving bug tasks first. But if you wanna prioritize this research, just me know.

I'll close this issue, we can open a new issue for Hana with more details if necessary
