Most swaps fail for one of a few reasons: not enough gas, slippage set too low, a quote that expired, or no route for the two tokens. Find the message FxWallet showed you below. If a swap failed after it reached the network, the network kept the fee, but your tokens are still in your wallet. If FxWallet stopped the swap before you could confirm it, see [Why can't I swap this token?](https://docs.fxwallet.com/swap/why-cant-i-swap-this-token)

| FxWallet says | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| "You need … more on … to cover the network fee" | Add some of the network's native coin, or pay with a Gas Card. See [Not enough gas for a transaction](https://docs.fxwallet.com/wallet/not-enough-gas). |
| **Low slippage may lead to transaction failure.** | Raise the slippage, or choose **Auto Setting**. See [Slippage](https://docs.fxwallet.com/swap/swap-tokens#slippage). |
| **Quote expired. Refresh to update.** | Tap **Refresh Quote**, check the new amount, then swap again. |
| **No Liquidity** on the **Swap** button, or **No route, please wait a moment** in the route list | No route is available for this pair right now. Try again later, try a different amount, or swap through a common token such as USDT or ETH. |
| **High Price Impact Alert** | The swap is large for the token's liquidity, so you'd get much less than the market price. Swap a smaller amount. |
| "The wallet does not support the … chain. Please switch to another wallet." | This wallet can't swap on that network. Switch to a wallet that has it. |
| **Transaction failed. Please retry.** | Refresh the quote, check the slippage and your gas, then try again. If the transaction reached the network and failed there, see [Why did my transaction fail?](https://docs.fxwallet.com/wallet/why-did-my-transaction-fail) |

If only one token keeps failing when you sell it, and your other swaps work, it may be a token that can't be sold. See [Tokens you can't sell](https://docs.fxwallet.com/security-and-scams/fake-tokens-and-offline-trading-scams#tokens-you-cant-sell).

## If the swap is pending

Wait for the network to confirm it, or speed it up. See [Pending or stuck transactions](https://docs.fxwallet.com/wallet/pending-transactions).
