Error Handling in Drops Bot: Common Issues & Solutions
When using blockchain-based features like swaps, liquidity tracking, and smart contract interactions, errors may occur due to various factors. Here's a detailed breakdown of the most common errors, their causes, and how to resolve them.
1. Slippage Control
Error
Your slippage tolerance is set too low. The actual market price changed more than your allowed slippage.
The difference between the expected execution price and the actual price when the transaction goes through. It helps protect users from volatile market moves.
Increase the slippage tolerance in settings to allow successful transaction execution during market volatility.
2. Solana Fee Reserve Required
Insufficient SOL balance to cover transaction fees.
To successfully execute transactions, you need to have an additional 0.01 SOL in your account as a reserve. These funds are intended to cover any unexpected issues that may arise during the transaction process.
3. Account is Frozen
The wallet contains suspicious or unauthorized tokens, triggering a "frozen" status on-chain.
Check your wallet's token list
Remove suspicious or unknown tokens
Avoid manually adding unchecked tokens
If compromised, create a new wallet and transfer safe assets only
Use tools like Token Sniffer, DexTools, or CoinGecko to verify token safety before interacting with them.
4. Invalid Recipient Address
Issues with the recipient address:
Incorrect format
Wrong network
Non-existent or inactive wallet
Double-check the address format (should start with
0xand be 42 characters for EVM chains)Make sure it belongs to the correct network
Avoid addresses copied from untrusted sources
5. Failed to Build Swap Route
The swap aggregator (e.g., Jupiter) cannot find a route between the selected tokens due to:
Lack of liquidity
No available pool
Unsupported or unknown token
Transaction amount too large/small
Use Jupiter manually to explore possible routes
Lower the swap amount
6. Transaction Not Confirmed
Error
Low priority fee
Network congestion
Increase the Priority Fee in DropsBot settings
Retry the transaction with a higher fee
Monitor network load before sending important transactions
7. General Processing Error
A generic failure due to:
Blockchain/network issues
Smart contract errors
Insufficient funds
Invalid input or swap parameters
Router malfunctions
Retry the transaction — sometimes it’s a temporary issue
Ensure sufficient balance for gas
Recheck all inputs (token pairs, values, routes)
Wait and confirm network stability
✅ General recommendations:
Avoid interacting with unverified tokens
Check liquidity and swap routes in advance
Monitor network congestion
Use only trusted wallets and addresses
If you encounter suspicious errors — recreate your wallet and transfer assets manually
