Pending, Failed, or Refunded Crypto Swap: What to Do

A swap can remain pending while the deposit confirms, the route executes, or the destination transaction settles. A failed or refunded state means something different and should not be treated as an ordinary delay.

Keep the transaction reference, source transaction hash, selected networks, and refund address available. These public details help identify the state without exposing wallet credentials.

Pending does not always mean failed

First confirm that the source transaction exists on the correct network and has been accepted into a block. Different networks and current congestion levels can produce different confirmation timelines.

After source confirmation, a cross-chain route may still need to execute and create the destination transaction. Use the route tracker instead of sending a duplicate deposit.

When a swap fails

Common categories include a route becoming unavailable, a quote expiring, an incorrect asset or network, a mismatched amount, or a deposit that could not be associated with the active transaction.

A useful error state should preserve a safe reference and explain the next action. Do not troubleshoot by sharing private keys, recovery phrases, or screenshots containing them.

How refunds work

The refund address is the source-network address selected before deposit. A refund is a new blockchain transaction and can therefore require source-network processing and confirmation.

Refund eligibility and timing depend on the route state and the information provided. Never assume a refund is complete until its transaction is visible and confirmed on the appropriate network.

  • Do not send a second deposit while the first one is unresolved.
  • Verify status using the source network and the transaction tracker.
  • Contact support through the official TorrentSwap contact page with public references only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information is safe to share with support?

A transaction hash, route reference, asset/network pair, approximate time, and public wallet address are generally inspectable on-chain. Never share a recovery phrase, private key, password, or authentication code.

Should I send again if tracking is delayed?

No. Sending again creates a separate blockchain transaction and can complicate recovery. Track the original deposit or contact support first.

Track before taking another action

Use the transaction tracker and preserve the route reference. If the state remains unclear, contact support without sharing wallet secrets.
