Most of us spend ages polishing the perfect user journey. But in blockchain apps, transactions go sideways more often than we'd like.
A wallet rejects the request. The network gets clogged. A tx sits on "pending" way longer than anyone expected. None of this is rare enough to just shrug off.
Errors are part of the experience
A generic "Transaction failed" message leaves people with more questions than they started with. Did it get rejected? Did I still pay gas? Should I hit retry, or will that make it worse?
Crypto apps need error messages that say what actually happened and what's safe to do next.
For swap platforms like AviorSwap, that applies to the whole flow, start to finish. Clear feedback means less confusion and fewer people spamming the same transaction over and over.
Handling errors better
Good error handling should tell the difference between a wallet rejection, a network problem, not enough funds, and the other failure cases you already know about. It also shouldn't tell users a transaction went through before there's an actual confirmation.
And honestly, this goes way beyond DeFi. Any app that leans on outside systems is better off planning for failure from day one instead of bolting it on later.
So what's the most confusing error message a crypto app has ever thrown at you?
