Understanding the “Can’t Send ETH Now” Error
This error typically appears in Atomic Wallet versions 2.74.0 and newer. The issue stems from node connectivity conflicts introduced in recent updates, particularly affecting Ethereum, BTC, ADA, Binance Smart Chain, and Avalanche networks. But it can affect all cryptocurrency networks.

When you click “Send,” the app attempts to connect to network nodes that are currently experiencing high traffic or protocol mismatches. Instead of processing your transaction, the button becomes unresponsive or displays the error message repeatedly.
Important: Your funds remain secure on the blockchain. This is a software connectivity issue, not a security breach or lost wallet access.
Common Symptoms:
- Send button grayed out or unclickable
- “Can’t Send ETH Now” popup appears immediately
- Transaction stuck on “Preparing” for hours
- Error occurs on both mobile and desktop versions
Fix 1: Install the Last Stable Build (Recommended)
The most reliable solution is reverting to version 2.72.1, the last stable release before the node connectivity issues were introduced. This version maintains full functionality while avoiding the current broadcasting errors.
Step-by-Step Installation:
- Uninstall your current Atomic Wallet version from your device. Your funds are stored on the blockchain, not in the app itself.
- Download the stable installer:
Desktop (Windows): Download v2.72.1 Stable
Mobile (Android): Download Stable APK - Install the downloaded stable version and launch the application
- Restore your wallet. All balances will sync automatically.
- Test a small transaction to confirm the send function is working properly
Result: Transactions typically process within 30-60 seconds after restoring on the stable build. Users report immediate success with ETH, BNB, BTC, AVAX and others Cryptocurrencies transfers.
Fix 2: Submit Support Ticket (Slower Alternative)
If you prefer not to reinstall the application, you can wait for official assistance.
Process:
- Submit a detailed ticket through the app’s support portal
- Include your OS version, app version, and error screenshots
- Wait for technical team response
Timeline: Current response times average 24 to 48 hours, with complex cases taking up to 5 business days during high-volume periods. The support team typically recommends the same rollback procedure described in Fix 1 above.
Prevention: Avoiding Transaction Errors
- Always backup your 12-word phrase before any software changes
- Test small amounts first when sending to new addresses
- Keep a local copy of the stable installer as backup insurance
