⁉️Common Reasons for Transaction Failure

If a transaction fails, users are advised to check the following settings first:

  • Slippage tolerance

  • Priority fee

  • Anti-sandwich mode


⏱ 1. Timeout Failures

A timeout failure may occur for several reasons:

  • Low priority fee – When the fee is too low, the transaction takes longer to be processed by validators, often leading to timeouts after the countdown expiration.

  • Low slippage – If the token price fluctuates sharply (e.g., during candle wicks or volatile periods), the transaction may fail to trigger within the set tolerance.


⚙️ 2. Submission or Execution Failures

(1) Manual / Limit Orders – Submission Failed (Not On-Chain)

  • Insufficient wallet balance — When your wallet lacks enough ETH/SOL to cover both the purchase and gas fees. 💡 Tip: Keep at least 0.02 SOL available in your Solana wallet for smooth trading.

  • Insufficient token balance when selling — The transaction cannot be submitted if you do not hold the token.

  • Buy submission failed — Some tokens restrict early purchases during the project’s initial phase.

  • Sell submission failed — The project may be a honeypot, or your address may be blacklisted, preventing sales.


(2) Manual / Limit Orders – Execution Failed (On-Chain)

  • Usually caused by low slippage tolerance. Even though the transaction is submitted on-chain, execution fails — consuming gas and/or priority fees. 💡 Tip: When trading new or highly volatile tokens (e.g., during FOMO phases), increase your slippage tolerance.


(3) No Available Route (Not On-Chain)

  • The token’s liquidity pool has been removed by the creator or project team, making trading routes unavailable.

  • For tokens created on Solana platforms such as Pump.fun or Moonshot, if the token’s market cap has reached around $45K and the team is still adding liquidity to Raydium or Meteora DEX, trading will be temporarily unavailable. 💡 Please wait until the pool is live before attempting to trade again.
