Troubleshooting & FAQs

Seeing Price Impact Error

This is a protective safeguard, not a bug. It warns you that your trade will result in a significant loss of value.

  • What it means: The liquidity pool for this token is too "shallow" to handle your trade. By moving a large portion of the available tokens, you are mathematically forcing the price to jump.

  • Slippage vs. Price Impact: Slippage is about the market moving while your transaction is waiting to be confirmed. Price Impact is the "bad deal" you are getting the moment you click swap because of the pool size. Increasing your slippage settings will not fix this error, as the loss in value is inherent to trade size, not market volatility.

  • What to do: Try a smaller amount. If you see this even for a tiny swap (e.g., $10), the token has extremely low liquidity. If the impact remains high regardless of amount, the token simply lacks the liquidity to be sold safely.

Important: If you choose to bypass this warning and proceed with the swap, you do so at your own risk. By ignoring the safeguard, you acknowledge the potential for a substantial loss of value. Rabby Wallet is not liable for any financial losses resulting from trades executed despite high price impact warnings.

No Quote Found Error

This occurs when our aggregators cannot find a viable trading route or enough liquidity between the two tokens you have selected. You may need to use a third-party dApp to find a usable rate.

No Quotes Available for this Chain Yet

If a specific chain is not yet supported by the Rabby aggregator, please use a trusted third-party DApp to proceed.

What is "Approve and Swap"?

  • The Approval Step: Approving a token allows a smart contract to access and use that token on your behalf. This step is required when you're swapping, bridging assets across chains, or interacting with dApps (e.g., lending, staking). Think of it as unlocking the token so a third-party contract can use it.

  • You can approve and swap in a single confirmation. Rabby ensures smooth and fast experience.

  • While many DApps request "Infinite Approval," Rabby only approves the required amount for your specific swap. This keeps your wallet secure and eliminates the need to manually revoke permissions afterward.

Rabby Fee

To support the continuous development of the wallet, a service fee of 0.25% is applied to swaps. This fee is already included in the quote shown to you.
