Troubleshooting

Why Isn't My Transaction Going Through?

Gas Fees

Ensure you have sufficient APT for gas fees, which fluctuate based on network traffic. Learn more about gas fee here.

Transaction Fees

Check if the tokens you're swapping have any fees or restrictions. Tokens on Baptswap may include a transaction fee in their contracts for various purposes, such as funding a treasury or rewarding stakers.

Swapping with Transaction Fees

Research tokens beforehand to understand any transaction fee mechanisms. Adjust your slippage settings to accommodate these fees. For example, a 5% transaction fee may require a slippage setting of at least 6%-7%.

Conclusion

By following these steps and being aware of token-specific fees and restrictions, you can enjoy a smooth trading experience on Baptswap. Always stay informed about the tokens you trade to ensure successful transactions.
