Token Swap Stuck / Pending
Your swap transaction has been pending for too long and won't confirm.
This guide covers 4 verified steps to resolve "Token Swap Stuck / Pending". Follow each step in order before moving to the next. If the steps below don't resolve your issue, use the community support options at the bottom of this page.
Check Transaction Status
Go to Etherscan (or the relevant chain explorer) and paste your transaction hash. If it shows "Pending", the network is congested or your gas was too low.
Speed Up or Cancel
In MetaMask, go to Activity → find the stuck tx → click "Speed Up" to resubmit with higher gas, or "Cancel" to replace it with a 0 ETH tx to yourself using the same nonce.
Manual Nonce Override
If your wallet doesn't support speed-up, send a new 0 ETH transaction to your own address with the SAME nonce but higher gas. This cancels the stuck one.
Adjust Slippage
For future swaps, set slippage to 1–3% for stable pairs, 5–12% for volatile or low-liquidity tokens. Too-low slippage causes reverts.
