Hi all,  
when I just wrapped my GIV on [GIVgarden](https://gardens.1hive.org/#/xdai/garden/0xb25f0ee2d26461e2b5b3d3ddafe197a0da677b98), Metamask’s suggested an extremely high gas fee given we’re on xDai (I think 1 xDai in total) for wrapping GIV. I changed it manually and it worked fine, but I wonder whether there’s a straightforward way to change the default values for everyone?  
The transaction for approving GIV came with a reasonable suggestion for gas.

Cheers  
Theo

Edit: When I went through the same process with another wallet, the suggested gas fees were reasonably and I couldn’t replicate the issue above. Not sure why, but will just leave this post here in case anyone else has the same experience.
