Recheck the Swap Quote After a Wallet Session Expires

If your wallet session expires during a swap, check the quote again before you approve anything. The connection between a wallet and a trading site can time out while the page is open. Reconnecting restores that link, but it does not prove the displayed price or terms are unchanged. A swap quote is an estimate of what you will receive for what you spend, based on current trading conditions.

What happens when a wallet session expires?

A wallet session can end while you are reading a quote, leaving the trading site unable to send a request to your wallet. You may need to reconnect before you can approve the swap. The quote on the page may still be visible, but its age and status depend on the service. Treat it as something to verify, not as a confirmed offer.

Before reconnecting, note the tokens and amounts you chose. Afterward, check that the site still shows the same pair and direction. If you are comparing a quickswap with separate swaps, this guide to when quickswap suits a wallet covers that choice. Return to the quote and confirm it reflects the trade you intend to make.

Which parts of a swap quote should you check?

Check the amount you will receive, the minimum amount shown, and any fee details before approving. The quoted amount can change as prices and available liquidity move. The minimum is the least the swap is set to deliver under its slippage setting. Slippage is the amount of price movement the trade is allowed to tolerate before it fails or completes at a different rate.

Also confirm the network and the tokens involved. Similar token names can appear on different networks, and a swap on the wrong one may not do what you expect. The route—the trades used to exchange one token for another—can affect the estimated return. You do not need to judge every technical detail, but the token pair, amount, network and fees should match your plan.

• Confirm the token you are spending and the token you expect to receive.
• Compare the amount and minimum received with the quote you first reviewed.
• Check the network, route and fees shown by the service.
• Make sure the wallet prompt matches the swap details on screen.

When should you get a fresh quote?

Get a fresh quote if the page asks you to refresh, the numbers changed after reconnecting, or you cannot tell whether the displayed quote is current. A new quote may show a different return or route. If the trade no longer suits you, stop and review the amount or wait. You are not required to approve a transaction just because you already connected your wallet.

Once the quote looks right, read the wallet’s approval screen as a separate check. Confirm the transaction details there before signing. The practical rule is simple: reconnecting restores access; it does not refresh your judgement. Recheck the quote and the wallet prompt each time.
