Hey @EJC, welcome to the MetaMask community!

What happens when you try to swap? It may also be that the token you are swapping for does not have any liquidity for you to be able to swap.

So the token is Baby Doge Coin, right? These meme coins usually require buyers and sellers to put the slippage higher than normal. Please get in touch with the community/team and ask them what slippage should be set to and if there are other reasons why your transaction might not be going through. Ensure that the information you receive is correct.

You can find their TG in the socials section on coingecko.

It’s crucial that you understand that a too high slippage can cause losses.

Also consider using a different DEX.

ALWAYS DYOR (do your own research) before doing anything that I’ve mentioned in this post and beware of scammers.

None of this is financial advice of any sort.
