If you see a popup about network congestion, it means the blockchain is currently experiencing very high activity.

-
Some transactions may fail — this affects all users, not just those using Argent
-
Network fees (gas) will be higher due to increased demand
What can you do?
-
Check the transaction fee before confirming
-
Consider waiting for congestion to ease before making your transaction
