If you see a "Not Enough SOL," "Not Enough ETH," or "Not Enough (other token)" error, it means you don't have enough of the native token required to pay for network fees on that blockchain.
Even if you have plenty of other tokens like CASH or USDC, those can't be used for transaction fees. Only the native token can.
Solana: "Not Enough SOL"
Solana uses SOL to pay for all transactions. You also need a small amount of SOL to keep token accounts rent-exempt.
What you can do:
- Buy SOL from within the app or transfer it from an exchange to your Phantom wallet.
- Leave at least 0.02 SOL for fees and rent.
Ethereum: "Not Enough ETH"
The amount needed can vary based on network congestion and the complexity of your transaction.
What you can do:
- Buy ETH from within the app or transfer it from an exchange to your Phantom wallet.
- Leave at least 0.002 ETH for fees.
- Check current gas prices using Etherscan Gas Tracker.
Polygon: "Not Enough POL"
Polygon uses POL to pay for all transactions.
What you can do:
- Buy POL from within the app or transfer it from an exchange to your Phantom wallet.
- Leave at least enough POL to cover the fee before retrying.
Base: "Not Enough ETH"
Base uses ETH for gas.
What you can do:
- Buy Base ETH from within the app, transfer it from an exchange, or use Phantom's cross-chain swapper to move ETH from Ethereum to Base.
- Leave at least 0.002 Base ETH for fees.
Bitcoin: "Not Enough BTC"
What you can do:
- Buy Bitcoin from within the app or transfer it from an exchange to your Phantom wallet.
- Use a Bitcoin fee estimator like mempool.space to check current fees.
- Leave at least 500 sats for fees.
- If your balance includes Ordinals, some of your Bitcoin may be protected and excluded from your spendable balance. Use Magic Eden's UTXO splitter to move those assets to a separate wallet so the remaining Bitcoin can be used for fees. See About Ordinals protection in Phantom.
Sui: "Not enough SUI"
What you can do:
- Buy SUI from within the app or transfer it from an exchange to your Phantom wallet.
- Leave at least 0.05 SUI for fees.
Monad: "Not enough MON"
What you can do:
- Buy MON from within the app or transfer it from an exchange to your Phantom wallet.
- Leave at least 0.002 MON for fees.
