Transaction Recovery

Speed up a transaction
Drop a transaction
When to use which

For EVM-style pending transactions, CAW supports two recovery flows:

speedup_transaction to replace the pending transaction with a higher-fee version
drop_transaction to cancel it with a replacement transaction to the same nonce

Speed up a transaction

CLI
Python SDK
TypeScript SDK

caw tx speedup <TRANSACTION_UUID> \
  --fee '{"fee_type":"EVM_EIP_1559","max_fee_per_gas":"50000000000","max_priority_fee_per_gas":"2000000000"}'

result = await client.speedup_transaction(
    wallet_uuid=wallet_id,
    transaction_uuid=transaction_uuid,
    fee={
        "fee_type": "EVM_EIP_1559",
        "max_fee_per_gas": "50000000000",
        "max_priority_fee_per_gas": "2000000000",
    },
)

const result = await client.speedupTransaction({
  wallet_uuid: walletId,
  transaction_uuid: transactionUuid,
  fee: {
    fee_type: 'EVM_EIP_1559',
    max_fee_per_gas: '50000000000',
    max_priority_fee_per_gas: '2000000000',
  },
});

Drop a transaction

CLI
Python SDK
TypeScript SDK

caw tx drop <TRANSACTION_UUID>

await client.drop_transaction(
    wallet_uuid=wallet_id,
    transaction_uuid=transaction_uuid,
)

await client.dropTransaction({
  wallet_uuid: walletId,
  transaction_uuid: transactionUuid,
});

When to use which

Action	Use when
`speedup_transaction`	You still want the same operation to execute, just faster
`drop_transaction`	You want to cancel the pending operation altogether

For recovery, always pair these actions with Transaction Tracking.
