Swap crypto on the same network in Phantom

Before you swap

• You need a small amount of the network's native token such as SOL on Solana or ETH on Ethereum to cover network fees. For more information, see What is a network fee and why do I have to pay it?.
• When swapping on Solana, if your SOL balance is too low to pay network fees, Phantom may use a gasless swap instead. For more information, see About gasless transactions on Solana in Phantom.

Browser extension

1. On the Home tab, click Swap.
2. In You Pay, choose the token you want to swap from.

Swap settings

In most cases, you can leave the swap settings set to Auto. To adjust slippage, priority fees, or tips, select the Settings icon on the swap screen before confirming.

Fees

A same-chain swap can have up to three fee components:

Common issues

"Insufficient funds" or "Not enough ETH/SOL/POL"

You don't have enough of the native token on the source network to pay the network fee. This can be confusing because you might have plenty of the token you're trying to swap, but you still need a small amount of the native token (the chain's gas token) to submit the transaction. See Why am I seeing "Not Enough Funds"?

Swap simulation failed

Phantom simulates the transaction before submitting it. If the simulation fails, the swap won't go through. Causes include the following:

• Token has trading restrictions (some tokens block contract-initiated transfers).
• Slippage tolerance is too low. Try increasing it slightly.

"No quotes available" or low liquidity

New or low-volume tokens may not have enough liquidity for Phantom to generate a swap quote. This does not always mean the token is unsafe, but it does mean the token may have limited market activity. Try the following:

• Wait a few minutes and retry.
• Swap a smaller amount.
• Verify the token's contract address and confirm it matches the official project.
• Use Jupiter (Solana) or Uniswap (Ethereum/Base/Polygon).

Price impact too high

Large swaps can move the market price significantly. To reduce price impact, split your swap into smaller transactions or trade during periods of higher activity.

Received less than expected

If you received fewer tokens than the estimated amount, review the quote details. Price impact affects large trades in low-liquidity markets, and platform fees from third-party services may apply. Always review transaction details before confirming.

Token cannot be sold or swapped

Some tokens are designed so they cannot be sold or swapped normally. This includes tokens sent to your wallet without permission that imitate legitimate assets, tokens with no real liquidity, or tokens with smart contract restrictions that prevent selling.

Warning: Do not interact with links, websites, or claim instructions tied to unfamiliar tokens. Even if a token shows a value, that value may be misleading or spoofed.

If you did not expect the token, treat it as suspicious and avoid interacting with any linked content. If it appears to be spam, go to the token page and select More, then Report As Spam.

Token is frozen

Phantom blocks certain Solana tokens where freeze authority has been enabled. See What are frozen tokens on Solana? for more information.

Token is malicious

Phantom blocks certain scam tokens designed to prevent sending or selling. Verified tokens display a purple checkmark. If you encounter a suspicious token, do not interact with it. See An unfamiliar token or collectible appeared in Phantom for more information.

Watch-only wallet

Watch-only wallets can view balances but cannot sign transactions. Import the wallet using its recovery phrase, private key, or email and PIN to enable swaps.

Wallet may be compromised

If Phantom shows a "malicious account" warning, the account may be controlled by a bad actor. This can happen if you imported a wallet from a recovery phrase you didn't generate yourself.

There is no way to recover a compromised wallet. Create a new wallet and transfer any remaining funds immediately. See Move assets when you need to start over with a new wallet for information.
