FAQ: Quote Error in Token Swaps

What is a Quote Error?​

A Quote Error occurs when a swap provider cannot provide a price quote for a selected token pair. This typically happens during token swaps on decentralized exchanges or wallets like Gem Wallet.

What causes a Quote Error?​

Common causes include:

  • Low Swap Amount: The transaction amount is too small to execute the swap.
  • Lack of Liquidity: Insufficient liquidity in the token pair’s liquidity pool.
  • Technical Limitations: Issues with the provider’s API, network congestion, or temporary outages.
  • Unsupported Token Pair: The selected tokens may not be supported for swapping by the provider.

How can I fix a Quote Error?​

Try the following:

  • Increase the Swap Amount: Ensure the amount meets the minimum required by the provider.
  • Check Liquidity: Verify that the token pair has sufficient liquidity on the exchange or pool.
  • Switch Providers: Use an alternative swap provider or decentralized exchange.
  • Retry Later: Wait a few minutes and try again, as the issue may be temporary.
  • Update Wallet/App: Ensure your wallet or app is running the latest version.
