The FOMOEgg egg in the studio, illustrating: Why did my crypto swap fail?
Short answer

Usual causes: slippage too low, price moved, not enough gas, or a contract that blocks sells.

How to check it yourself

  1. Open the failed transaction on the explorer and read the status or error line.
  2. Check your slippage setting, your gas balance and whether the price moved.
  3. If buys work but sells fail, run the contract through a scanner for sell blocks.
