Notes

• Ensure you have sufficient network fees (gas fees) in addition to the swap amount.

FAQ

Q1: Why is my swap transaction pending for a long time?

A: Swap transaction times depend on network congestion and gas fees. If your transaction is pending, you may need to wait for network confirmation or consider increasing the gas fee for faster processing.

Q2: Can I cancel a swap after confirming it?

A: Once a swap transaction is submitted to the blockchain, it cannot be canceled through the app. However, if the transaction is still pending, you may be able to speed it up or replace it with a higher gas fee transaction, depending on the blockchain network.

Q3: What should I do if my swap fails?

A: If your swap fails, check your transaction history for error details. Common reasons include insufficient gas fees, slippage tolerance being too low, or insufficient token balance. Adjust these settings and try again. If the issue persists, contact Gate Customer Support for assistance.
