If you stumbled upon an error while trying to swap and have checked our general transaction failure article, these are the solutions to some issues you may encounter, that are exclusive to swapping:

  1. Slippage Setting stopped you from losing too much value on the swap

If slippage goes over the selected amount the swap will fail. This is because the slippage setting (set by default to a 0.5% amount difference) stops the swap from happening if the estimated price and execution price differ over this percentage, due to the minute-to-minute pricing estimates. You can retry with the same or a different amount of slippage.

You can access the slippage settings by clicking the icon I've highlighted below.

2. Liquidity Provider lacks liquidity for your trade

The total liquidity on that pool of tokens isn’t enough to fulfill your solicited transaction. If this happens you just need to select another swap route from the ones offered under the coin you want to swap to.


Also please ensure that you have enough SOL to cover the network fees for the swap. It's recommended to hold atleast 0.01 - 0.05 SOL for network fees.

If you are running a VPN, please try turning it off or switching to a different country's proxy as certain VPNs can cause connection interference.

And that’s a wrap!
