▫️ Why does my transaction show as expired?


Transaction Shows as Expired?

Why Deposit Addresses Expire

  • All deposit addresses automatically expire after 24 hours for security
  • This prevents accidental reuse of old addresses
  • Protects against delayed or duplicate transactions
  • Industry standard security practice

What Happens When Expired

  • The deposit address becomes inactive
  • New deposits to this address will not be processed automatically
  • Your original quote and pricing are no longer valid
  • A new transaction must be created for future swaps

If You Sent Funds to an Expired Address

  1. Don't panic - funds can usually be recovered
  2. Contact support immediately with your Order ID
  3. Provide transaction hash showing the deposit
  4. Include proof of payment from your wallet
  5. Recovery is typically successful when contacted promptly

Information to Provide Support

  • Order ID from the expired transaction
  • Transaction hash of your deposit
  • Wallet address you sent from
  • Amount and token type sent
  • Timestamp of when you sent the funds

Prevention Tips

  • Complete transactions within 24 hours of getting a quote
  • Don't save deposit addresses for later use
  • Always get a fresh quote for new transactions
  • Set reminders if you plan to send later

Creating a New Transaction

  • Go to FogSwap and create a new transaction
  • You'll get a fresh deposit address with a new 24-hour window
  • The new quote will reflect current market prices
