Problem: I get the error message ‘Account allocation failed: unable to confirm transaction’ when trying to send SOL.
Cause: There are a number of possible causes, such as blockchain congestion, transaction expiration, and insufficient fee-payer funds.
Solution: Try submitting the transaction again, but first add a little SOL to your Solana account; if this doesn’t solve the problem, consider paying ‘priority fees’ which makes your transaction more likely to be submitted when the blockchain is busy.
If the Solana blockchain is congested, you can further boost your transaction’s chances of being submitted by choosing to submit it through NuFi’s RPC too.
This option is available when transacting inside NuFi wallet (e.g. send Solana assets, manage SOL stake accounts, or swap Solana tokens) and also while using Solana Dapps with NuFi’s browser extension wallet.
