Question 2

Why am I getting a "No Route Found" error message?

Accepted Answer

If you select a token and Trails cannot find a path for your transaction, it's usually due to liquidity requirements.

Liquidity Requirement: The token must have a valid Liquidity Pool (LP) and be actively indexed by a major aggregator, bridge, or DEX (such as Uniswap, Sushiswap, 1inch, or CoW Swap).
Solution: Try selecting a more established token or check the token's presence on major DEXs.

Question 3

Can I pay for transactions with non-native gas tokens?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Trails offers flexible payment options, allowing you to pay gas fees using your preferred tokens, not just the native gas token of the chain. This prevents the issue of bridging to a new chain and not being able to interact since you don't have the native gas token as well as giving additional utility to more tokens.

ERC20 and EIP-2612 Gas Support: Trails supports paying gas fees with a large variety of ERC20 and EIP-2612 (permit-compatible) tokens such as USDC and USDT.

Question 5

Why does my wallet show an "Unknown Contract"?

Accepted Answer

When you interact with Trails, your wallet might display a warning about an unknown contract. This is expected and normal behavior and does not mean your funds are at risk.

Intent-Based Execution: For Trails to securely execute your specific cross-chain transaction, a unique contract address is generated on the blockchain. This address corresponds to the onchain actions you want to take and automatically and securely executes them through Trails' intent-based architecture.
Safety Check: Since this address is new and unique for every transaction, some wallets will automatically flag it as one you haven't interacted with before. You can proceed after reviewing the transaction details.

Question 6

Why does Trails flag low-volume transactions?

Accepted Answer

Why does Trails flag low-volume transactions?

Transactions for very small amounts (less than ~$0.10) can sometimes fail or be routed incorrectly depending on the exact route.

Cost vs. Value: For extremely small sums, the fee taken by liquidity providers or total gas may be greater than the transaction amount itself, making the operation economically unviable.
Recommendation: For smaller transactions, we recommend using high-liquidity tokens, such as USDC, as they generally have better routing options.
