# Speed up a Rune Mint or Etch order

Bitcoin fee rates can fluctuate quickly when the network is congested. This can cause the transactions involved in your [Rune mint order ](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect/bitcoin-methods/mint-runes)or [Rune etch order](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect/bitcoin-methods/etch-runes) to remain stuck in the mempool, if the fee rate initially specified for your order has become too low for the present network conditions.\
\
You can use Sats Connect to speed up an order, using the [Replace-by-Fee (RBF)](https://www.xverse.app/blog/replace-by-fee-rbf) mechanism. Sats Connect will replace the stuck transactions with new transactions broadcast at a higher fee rate.

This documentation will guide you through the required steps:

1. Estimate the cost of a speeding up a Rune mint or etch order for your user -> see [runes\_estimateRbfOrder](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect/bitcoin-methods/speed-up-a-rune-mint-or-etch-order/runes_estimaterbforder)
2. Speed up your Rune mint or etch order, and prompt your user to sign the funding transaction required to process the order at an increased fee rate -> see [runes\_rbfOrder](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect/bitcoin-methods/speed-up-a-rune-mint-or-etch-order/runes_rbforder)
3. Fetch the new status of a Rune mint or etch order -> see [runes\_getOrder](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect/bitcoin-methods/runes_getorder)
