Hi there! Please be sure to have enough to cover the gas fees for the transaction before complete any process. If the situation is different, please share about it ---

I’ve typed in amount way less than what I have in there but it still won’t allow me proceed. It won’t even allow me send out $1 out of $9000 and it’s so frustrating. Please help me, thanks. ---

Hi there! Are you trying to send the USDT from Linea network? If yes, make sure you have enough Linea ETH to cover the transaction fee as Max2 suggested above. If you are sending from another network, you will still need enough of that network’s native token to cover the transaction fee. If you have enough token to cover the transaction fee and you are still facing the issue, then you can reach out to MetaMask’s support team at [https://support.metamask.io/](https://support.metamask.io/) to take a closer look at the issue. Click on the “contact support” button on the page to pop out the chat box. You may get an automated response from bot at first, you will get a response from human agent if the bot is not able to help. ---

You’ll need the native coin of whichever network you have the USDT on. MM supports hundreds of networks, so its hard for us to know which one you have them on. If youre not sure how to check, get in touch with us though the support chat. We ask people not to share any personal details on socials (like a wallet address). Wallet address will help us find which network your USDT is on, so we could advise which coin you’ll need for gas fees. More details on gas- [How gas fees, limits, and network fees work | MetaMask Help Center](https://support.metamask.io/more-web3/learn/user-guide-gas) Note on security: theres nothing inherently dangerous about sharing a wallet address or txn hash, but it allows anyone to see what assets are in the address. So can make people a target for scammers (hence why we discourage posting them) On ethereum, thats ETH. On BNB smart chain, its BNB. On Polygon, you’d need POL. and so on.
