If the transaction reverts, **no token is created** and no pool funds are spent — your form details stay intact and you can fix the issue and retry. {% endhint %} ## Overview Most launch problems fall into a few buckets: not enough gas, the wrong network, an unavailable identity, or a setting the contract rejects. Novamp translates raw wallet and contract errors into plain-language messages; this page maps them back to fixes. ## Wallet & network | Message | Cause | Fix | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | "Your wallet needs a little ETH/BNB… to cover network fees (gas)" | Insufficient native coin | Fund your wallet with the chain's native coin (ETH / BNB / SOL). It also covers opening liquidity and any initial buy. | | "Switch your wallet to `` and try again" | Wallet on the wrong network | Switch to your launch chain. The wizard only requests the switch at the final transaction. | | "You rejected the request in your wallet" | Signature declined | Re-open the wizard and approve the transaction. | | "A previous transaction is still pending" | A stuck / duplicate nonce | Wait for the pending transaction to confirm, then retry — don't resubmit or you could pay gas twice. | | "Network fees just spiked" | Base fee moved under the transaction | Wait a moment and try again. | {% hint style="warning" %} **Embedded (Privy) wallets** sign on their own pinned chain. Novamp routes launches through Privy's own send path with an explicit chain ID so your token lands on the network you selected — but always confirm the review screen shows the right chain before signing. If a confirmation seems stuck, keep the tab open; slow chains like `⚪ Ethereum` can take several minutes to settle. {% endhint %} ## Identity (name & ticker) | Message | Cause | Fix | | --------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | "This ticker is protected by an existing coin" | Symbol blocked by a graduated Novamp launch | Choose another ticker. | | "This exact image is protected by an existing coin" | Logo hash blocked by a graduated launch | Use a different logo. | | "This ticker isn't available to launch right now" | Reserved by another wallet, or copycat-locked | Wait for it to free, pick another, or [reserve it](/identity-protection/reserving-a-name-and-ticker.md). | | "Reserved by another wallet — frees in …" | Someone holds the name/ticker | Launch a different identity or wait out the hold. | | "You reserved it under another name" | Reservation bundle mismatch | Launch the **exact** name + ticker you reserved. | | Non-ASCII name/ticker rejected | On-chain identities must be ASCII | Use ASCII letters/digits; homoglyph tricks are folded by AntiVamp normalization. | See [What Is AntiVamp?](/identity-protection/what-is-antivamp.md) for how identity protection works. ## Tokenomics & configuration | Message | Cause | Fix | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | "Total supply is outside the allowed range" | Supply below/above factory limits | Pick a preset or a value within the limits. | | "Creator allocation is above the 10% maximum" | Allocation too high | Set allocation to 10% or less. | | "Buy/sell tax is above the 10% maximum" | Tax over cap | Set each tax to 10% or less. | | "Your tax destination splits must add up to 100%" | Split doesn't total 100% | Adjust destination shares to total exactly 100%. | | "The launch-protection settings are invalid" | Bad anti-snipe config | Review your protection preset options. | | "Add the initial liquidity required to launch" | v2 (tax) launch with no opening liquidity | Provide opening liquidity greater than 0. | | "Liquidity was provided where none is expected" | v3 (zero-fee) launch with liquidity set | Clear the opening-liquidity field. | | "The ETH sent doesn't cover the launch fee, liquidity, and initial buy" | Value too low | Increase the amount to cover creation fee + liquidity + initial buy. | | "The launchpad isn't fully configured on this network yet" | Seeder not set | Try again shortly; the network may still be finalizing. | ## Transaction outcome | Message | Meaning | Fix | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | "Launch reverted on-chain — no coin was created" | The transaction mined but reverted | No funds spent on the pool; fix the flagged setting and retry. | | "The transaction would fail — check your amount and any launch/trade limits" | Gas estimation failed | Review supply, allocation, tax, and liquidity settings before signing. | | "Couldn't upload your logo / store metadata" | IPFS pin failed | Retry; if it persists, paste a hosted image URL instead of uploading. | ## Solana-specific | Message | Cause | Fix | | ------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | "Rolling out shortly" / preview mode | Pump launches being enabled | Design now; ignite once the indexer enables Pump create + fee sharing. | | "Solana rejected the transaction" | SOL balance or RPC issue | Check your SOL balance (fees + dev buy) and retry. | | "This name or ticker is protected across chains" | AntiVamp API hold | Pick another identity, or launch with the wallet that reserved it. | | "The creator fee-share is still finalizing" | Fee-share tx pending after create | The token launched; the split reconciles on confirm — no action needed. | ## Continue exploring * [🚀 Launch a Token](/creators/launching-a-token.md) * [✅ Launch Checklist](/creators/launch-checklist.md) * [🎨 Creator Overview](/creators/overview.md) * [⚠️ Risk Disclosure](/legal-and-safety/risk-disclosure.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.novamp.io/creators/troubleshooting.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. 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.
