Common Error Messages
Sometimes you may find yourself facing a problem that doesn't have a clear solution. These troubleshooting tips may help you solve problems you run into.
Out of Gas error
Warning! Error encountered during contract execution [out of gas]
You have set a low gas limit when trying to make a transaction.
Try manually increasing the gas limit (not gas price!) in your wallet before signing the transaction.
A limit of 1000000 is usually enough.
The above example is from Metamask; check your wallet's documentation if you aren't sure how to adjust the gas limit.
Basically, your wallet (Metamask, Trust Wallet, etc.) can't finish what it's trying to do.
Your wallet estimates that the gas limit is too low, so the function call runs out of gas before the function call is finished.
ERC20: transfer amount exceeds allowance
Fail with error 'ERC20: transfer amount exceeds allowance'
Use Unrekt.net to revoke approval for the smart contract you're trying to interact with
Approve the contract again, without setting a limit on spend allowance
Try interacting with the contract again.
This happens when you set a limit on your spend allowance when you first approved the contract, then try to swap more than the limit.
