πŸ” Why Did My Swap Fail?

Understanding failed swaps and how to resolve them

Updated over 2 months ago

πŸ” Most Common Reasons


If your swap didn’t complete successfully, it’s usually due to one of the following:

  • πŸ’° Sent less than the required minimum amount
    ​

    • Each swap has a minimum limit set by liquidity providers.

    • If the amount sent is below that limit, the transaction can’t be processed automatically.

  • 🧭 Incorrect or expired destination wallet address
    ​

    • Crypto sent to a wrong or outdated address cannot be credited or retrieved.

    • Double-check addresses carefully before confirming the swap.
      ​

  • 🏷 Missing or incorrect memo/tag (for coins like XRP, XLM, ATOM, etc.)
    ​

    • Memos and destination tags route your funds correctly.

    • If they’re missing or incorrect, funds may not be automatically credited.
      ​

  • β›“ Blockchain congestion or market volatility
    ​

    • Heavy network load or unstable prices can temporarily interrupt or delay swaps.

    • In some cases, the provider cancels the operation automatically for safety.


πŸ›  What To Do

  1. Check your transaction on the blockchain

    • Use your wallet or a blockchain explorer to confirm the transaction status.
      ​

  2. Copy your TX hash (transaction hash)

    • This is a unique identifier used to locate your payment on the network.
      ​

  3. Contact our support team

    • Share both your Exchange ID and TX hash via the chat button in the bottom-right corner or email support@stealthex.com.

    • Our team will investigate and attempt recovery if possible.


πŸ’¬ Important Notes

  • Transactions on the blockchain are irreversible, but if funds were received on our side, our team can usually manually recover them.
    ​

  • Always double-check amounts, addresses, and memos/tags before sending to prevent future issues.
    ​

  • Network delays and volatility-related failures are usually temporary β€” you can retry once conditions stabilize.


βœ… Quick Tip

To avoid failed swaps, always:

  • Send at least the minimum amount shown on the swap page

  • Double-check the destination address and memo/tag

  • Use Fixed Rate if you want to lock in your exchange amount despite market movement
