I'm getting an error when trying to vouch. What now?

Most vouch failures come down to one of a few things. Work through these in order, they are ordered from quickest to slowest.

First, check the basics

  • You are logged in with the wallet that actually holds your $WHUF. Vouching runs from that wallet, not from any other wallet on your profile.

  • You have a small amount of ETH on Base for gas.

  • You are vouching at least 1 $WHUF.

If those are all correct

  1. Hard refresh the page and try again. A stale session causes a surprising share of these.

  2. Change the amount slightly. Vouching 20.5 instead of 20 often goes through when the round number does not.

  3. Try a different wallet app. Switching from MetaMask to Rabby resolves this for a lot of people.

  4. Try with a VPN enabled. This is the single most common fix when the transaction stays stuck on "pending" or returns "Request failed".

  5. Try on desktop if you have been using mobile.

Still stuck?

Send us a screenshot of the exact error and the wallet you are logged in with, and we will take a look.
