Experiencing issues while trying to launch a token on Bags? Don’t worry, here’s a breakdown of common causes and quick solutions to get you back on track.
Common Causes of Launch Errors
When you encounter a 400 or 500 error, or your token fails to launch, it’s typically due to one of the following:
Solana Network Congestion or Downtime
Bags is built on the Solana blockchain. When Solana is congested or undergoing maintenance, your token transaction may fail or timeout.
This is a common, temporary issue and usually resolves on its own within a few minutes.
Missing or Invalid Input
Every token must have a name, symbol, and image.
Launches may fail if these fields are blank, improperly formatted, or contain unsupported characters.
Wallet Connection or Balance Issues
Ensure your wallet is properly connected to Bags.
You’ll need at least 0.05 SOL in your wallet to cover token deployment and network fees.
An insufficient balance or a misconfigured wallet can prevent the launch from proceeding.
Temporary Backend Hiccups
While rare, backend infrastructure or caching delays can interrupt the launch process.
These are usually resolved quickly by retrying or refreshing your session.
Quick Fixes & Next Steps
Here’s what to do if your launch fails:
Refresh the Page
Close and reopen the Bags app on your mobile device or browser.
Verify Your Token Details
Double-check that you’ve entered:
A valid token name (e.g., “MoonCoin”)
A symbol (e.g., “MOON”)
An uploaded token image (PNG or JPG format)
Check Your Wallet Balance
Make sure your wallet has at least 0.05 SOL to cover creation fees.
Wait and Retry Later
If the Solana network is experiencing delays, give it a few minutes and try again. Most issues resolve on their own during quieter periods.
