I've sent an Ethereum transaction, but it seems to be stuck. I'm wondering if there's a possibility that an Ethereum transaction can be stuck forever or if there's a way to resolve this issue. Can an Ethereum transaction be stuck forever?

When the network is congested, it can create a bottleneck where transactions become stuck in a queue.

This means that if a user initiates a transaction from their wallet, they may have to wait for an extended period for it to be processed.

Furthermore, any subsequent transactions from that same wallet will also be held up until the initial transaction is completed.

Ethereum transactions operate on a sequential basis, which can lead to significant delays for users.
