While many wallet interfaces, including MEW web and MEW wallet app, will adjust gas price automatically, it’s still worth being aware of gas fluctuation, network congestion, and how these factors can affect transactions.

To learn more about the way gas works, see our explanation in the Help Center: https://kb.myetherwallet.com/en/transactions/what-is-gas/

To check current gas prices, go to https://ethgasstation.info or view average gas prices on Etherscan: https://etherscan.io/chart/gasprice

And remember that you can also adjust gas limit and gas price manually on MEW by clicking Edit and switching on Advanced options on the Send page.

It seems that up to 280k .ETH domain names are set to expire soon. If you haven’t renewed yours yet, make sure you do so with MEW’s ENS dapp – just access your wallet and you’ll be reminded if you have any expiring domains.

You can also use MEW to get back your staked deposit if you registered your domain during the older auction model.

Finally, if you are interested in trying to get one of the expiring domains once the grace period ends on August 2nd, you can use MEW’s ENS dapp to register.

Hey MEWfam! We know that crypto can be difficult enough and intimidating enough without having to translate what the interface guides and errors are saying. To make the experience friendlier, we want to bring MEW to more users in their own language, and we could use some community help with our localization work!

Right now, we are focusing on Chinese and Japanese, so if you are a fluent speaker and would like to participate, please write to editor@mewtopia.com. Let’s make crypto more accessible together!

Today is the last day to make your donations to Black Lives Matter, Reclaim the Block, and The Bail Project, and have them matched by MEW.

MEW would like to thank everyone who participated in our BLM donations initiative and shared our tweet to their communities.

We have matched all donations for which we obtained receipts, as well as making additional contributions to Black Lives Matter and The Bail Project.

You can now put your content on the decentralized web with MEW in just a few steps with IPFS support for .eth and .crypto domains!

Just upload your zip file in the domain manager. (Don't have a domain yet? You can get an ENS or an Unstoppable domain in MEW as well, for one-stop decentralized domain management.)

As we see, DDoS attacks are happening more frequently and on a larger scale. The decentralized internet is less vulnerable to this type of attack, and keeps your content available for readers and clients, as well as free from censorship. Only you decide what goes on your page and if/when it’s taken down.

Take full ownership of your content with MEW’s domain management and IPFS tools. See our Medium for more details, and our Help Center for a step-by-step guide.

Dear MEWfam! Just a heads up – we’ve been able to secure our usual ‘myetherwallet’ username for this Telegram channel (previously ‘myetherwalletofficial’, now reassigned as ‘myetherwallet’).

This is an intended change, facilitated by Telegram, to get our name back from an inactive channel that was not created by us. Now, our username on Telegram aligns with our other channels including Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, YouTube, Medium, and GitHub.

No action is required on your part – the channel remains the same, just the username is changed. If you have any questions, please write us at support@myetherwallet.com.

Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities make it one of the most versatile blockchains out there, and Ethereum wallets are becoming much more than just places to hold and swap your crypto. Something new and awesome to try: get a decentralized domain and put up your website content on the censorship-resistant decentralized Web3, in just a few steps. See our full guide on MEWtopia 👇
