# Swap Stuck?

Symbiosis guide: How to identify delayed swaps, common reasons, and what to do next.

## **Stuck: What Does It Mean?**

When performing cross-chain operations, something may occasionally go wrong. For example, a transaction might take too long to process, the time allotted for the cross-chain operation might expire, or the exchange rate could change, making the new terms inconsistent with those agreed upon when signing the initial transaction. In such cases, the cross-chain operation becomes “stuck.”

For users, this typically appears as if assets have been sent on the source blockchain, but nothing has been received on the destination blockchain yet.

## **Stuck: What to Do?**

The “Stuck” status on a cross-chain swap in the Symbiosis Explorer at <https://explorer.symbiosis.finance/> indicates that the operation is taking longer than usual, but is still likely to be completed.

If the operation cannot be completed, it will be reverted automatically within one hour. In some rare cases, you may need to contact our team to complete or revert a stalling cross-chain operation. See contact information below.

If you still have questions or encounter any issues, please contact [our support team on Discord](https://discord.com/invite/ymbRx6ADvR). For issues related to stuck transactions, providing the following information will help us resolve the matter faster:

* The transaction hash or a link to the transaction in the appropriate block explorer or in the [Symbiosis Explorer](https://explorer.symbiosis.finance/transactions).
* The sender's wallet address.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.symbiosis.finance/user-guide-webapp/swap-stuck.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
