Issues on the Exchange

INSUFFICIENT_OUTPUT_AMOUNT

The transaction cannot succeed due to error: PancakeRouter: INSUFFICIENT_OUTPUT_AMOUNT. This is probably an issue with one of the tokens you are swapping.

You're trying to swap tokens, but your slippage tolerance is too low or liquidity is too low.

Solution

1. Refresh your page and try again later.

2. Try trading a smaller amount at one time.

3. Increase your slippage tolerance:

   1. Tap the settings icon on the liquidity page.

   2. Increase your slippage tolerance a little and try again.

4. Lastly, try inputting an amount with fewer decimal places.

Reason

This usually happens when trading tokens with low liquidity.

That means there isn't enough of one of the tokens you're trying to swap in the Liquidity Pool: it's probably a small-cap token that few people are trading.

However, there's also the chance that you're trying to trade a scam token which cannot be sold. In this case, BearSwap isn't able to block a token or return funds.

INSUFFICIENT_A_AMOUNT or INSUFFICIENT_B_AMOUNT

Fail with error 'BearSwapRouter: INSUFFICIENT_A_AMOUNT' or Fail with error 'BearSwapRouter: INSUFFICIENT_B_AMOUNT'

You're trying to add/remove liquidity from a liquidity pool (LP), but there isn't enough of one of the two tokens in the pair.

INSUFFICIENT_A_AMOUNT or INSUFFICIENT_B_AMOUNT

Fail with error 'BearSwapRouter: INSUFFICIENT_A_AMOUNT' or Fail with error 'BearSwapRouter: INSUFFICIENT_B_AMOUNT'

You're trying to add/remove liquidity from a liquidity pool (LP), but there isn't enough of one of the two tokens in the pair.

Solution

Refresh your page and try again, or try again later.

Still doesn't work?

1. Tap the settings icon on the liquidity page.

2. Increase your slippage tolerance a little and try again.

Reason

The error is caused by trying to add or remove liquidity for a liquidity pool (LP) with an insufficient amount of token A or token B (one of the tokens in the pair).

It might be the case that prices are updating too fast when and your slippage tolerance is too low.

Solution for nerds

OK, so you're really determined to fix this. We really don't recommend doing this unless you know what you're doing.

There currently isn't a simple way to solve this issue from the PancakeSwap website: you'll need to interact with the contract directly. You can add liquidity directly via the Router contract, while setting amountAMin to a small amount, then withdrawing all liquidity.

Approve the LP contract

Head to the contract of the LP token you're trying to approve. For example, here's the ETH/WBNB pair: https://bscscancom/address/0xb3f4d8888fc9f963ca1cc533ffbd841903b7e71f

1. Select Write Contract, then Connect to Web3 and connect your wallet.

2. In section "1. approve", approve the LP token for the router by entering

1. spender (address): enter the contract address of the LP token you're trying to interact with

2. value (uint256): -1

Query "balanceOf"

1. Switch to Read Contract.

2. In 5. balanceOf, input your wallet address and hit Query.

3. Keep track of the number that's exported. It shows your balance within the LP in the uint256 format, which you'll need in the next step.

Add or Remove Liquidity

Head to the router contract:

https://bscscancom/address/0xb3f4d8888fc9f963ca1cc533ffbd841903b7e71f#writeContract

1. Select Write Contract and Connect to Web3 as above.

2. Find addLiquidity or removeLiquidity (whichever one you're trying to do)

3. Enter the token addresses of both of the tokens in the LP.

4. In liquidity (uint256), enter the uint256 number which you got from "balanceOf" above.

5. Set a low amountAMin or amountBMin: try 1 for both.

6. Add your wallet address in to (address).

7. Deadline must be an epoch time greater than the time the tx is executed.

This can cause very high slippage, and can cause the user to lose some funds if frontrun

BearSwap Router: EXPIRED

The transaction cannot succeed due to error: PancakeRouter: EXPIRED. This is probably an issue with one of the tokens you are swapping.

Try again, but confirm (sign and broadcast) the transaction as soon as you generate it.

This happened because you started making a transaction, but you didn't sign and broadcast it until it was past the deadline. That means you didn't hit "Confirm" quickly enough.

BearSwap: K

The transaction cannot succeed due to error: BearSwap: K. This is probably an issue with one of the tokens you are swapping.

Refresh the page and try again, or increase slippage tolerance via the settings icon and try again.

This probably happened because you're trying to buy or sell tokens during a big price movement. The frontend is getting outdated information (e.g. outAmount) from the smart contract, causing the swap to fail.

Issues with Syrup Pools

BEP20: burn amount exceeds balance

Fail with error 'BEP20: burn amount exceeds balance'

You don't have enough SYRUP in your wallet to unstake from the BEAR-BEAR pool.

Solution 1

Get at least as much SYRUP as the amount of BEAR that you’re trying to unstake.

1. Buy SYRUP on the exchange. If you want to unstake 100 BEAR, you need at least 100 SYRUP.

2. Try unstaking again.

Solution 2

If that still fails, you can perform an “emergency Withdraw” from the contract directly to unstake your staked tokens.

1. Go to: https://bscscan.com/address/0xb3f4d8888fc9f963ca1cc533ffbd841903b7e71f#writeContract

2. Click “Connect to Web3” and connect your wallet.
3. In section “4. emergencyWithdraw”, enter "0" and click “Write”.

This will unstake your staked tokens and lose any uncollected CAKE yield.

This will lose any yield that you haven’t harvested yet.

Reason

To stop this happening again, don’t sell your SYRUP. You still need it to unstake from the “Stake BEAR Earn BEAR ” pool.

This error has happened because you have sold or transferred SYRUP tokens. SYRUP is minted in a 1:1 ratio to CAKE when you stake in the

BEAR -BEAR Syrup Pool. SYRUP must be burned at a 1:1 ratio to BEAR when calling leaveStaking (unstaking your BEAR from the pool), so if you don't have enough, you can't unstake from the pool.
