Wallet and RPC errors

“this transaction is likely to fail”

Also appears as: “transaction will likely fail”, “this transaction is expected to fail”


What it means

The same pre-signing simulation, in friendlier words: the wallet ran the transaction and it did not succeed. The failure it saw is real, based on the chain as it is right now.

How to fix it

Fix the cause upstream before signing: check the network, the token approval, the balance, and whether the dapp's quote is stale. Signing anyway pays gas for a predicted failure.
