# Gem Wallet Adds Failed Transaction Notifications: Always Know the Real Status of Your Swaps and Transfers
> Gem Wallet adds failed transaction notifications - learn how to see right away that a swap, transfer, or smart contract call didn't go through and what to do.

Now Gem Wallet tells you right away when a transaction fails: a swap, a transfer, staking, or a smart contract call. Our users have been getting push notifications marked "❌ Failed" since September 30, 2026 - there is nothing to turn on.

## What Are Failed Transaction Notifications in Gem Wallet

A failed transaction notification is a Gem Wallet push notification that arrives when the network rejects your transaction: it ended with an error (Failed) or a smart contract rolled it back (Reverted). The notification names the action with the same word as a successful one: "❌ Transfer: Failed", "❌ Swap: Failed", "❌ Smart Contract: Failed".

A transaction can fail if the price moves during a swap or if your balance doesn't cover the [network fee](https://gemwallet.com/learn/what-is-network-fee-and-how-to-make-your-transactions-instant/). Gem Wallet takes the status from the network itself, not from the app's guess.

For example, you swap [USDT](https://gemwallet.com/usdt-wallet/) for [BTC](https://gemwallet.com/bitcoin-wallet/), and the network reverts the swap. Gem Wallet sends "❌ Swap: Failed" right away - you know the result and simply try the swap again. We want you to always know exactly what is happening with your assets.

### Which Transactions Failed Transaction Notifications Cover

- **Transfers:** Sending coins, tokens, and NFTs - the notification shows the recipient's address.
- **Swaps:** Onchain and cross-chain swaps for any pair.
- **Token Approval:** Permission for a smart contract to use your token.
- **Staking:** Stake, unstake, redelegate, claim rewards, and withdraw.
- **TRX Freeze:** Freezing and unfreezing TRX on the [TRON](https://gemwallet.com/tron-wallet/) network.
- **Smart Contract Calls:** Actions in DApps connected to the wallet.

## Benefits for Gem Wallet Users

Gem Wallet is a mobile [self-custody wallet](https://gemwallet.com/self-custody-wallet/) with 100% open-source code for iOS and Android. Here are its main benefits:

- **Full Self-Custody:** Your private keys are stored only on your device - you sign transactions, and no intermediary touches your assets.
- **Fully Open-Source Code:** Gem Wallet's code is open on GitHub (CertiK audit, April 2026).
- **Privacy by Default:** No sign-up needed - no email, phone number, or ID, and Gem Wallet collects no personal data.
- **Only What Concerns You:** Only the sender gets the failure notification - if an incoming transfer fails, you get no extra push, because nothing reached you.
- **Swaps via Top DEX Providers:** [Swap](https://gemwallet.com/swap/) tokens via Relay, Uniswap, THORChain, and other DEX providers - for example, [ETH](https://gemwallet.com/ethereum-wallet/) for [BNB](https://gemwallet.com/bnb-wallet/); if a swap fails, Gem Wallet lets you know right away.
- **Staking Under Control:** [Stake](https://gemwallet.com/staking/) TRX, SOL, BNB, ETH, HYPE, and other coins - if staking, unstaking, or claiming rewards fails, you are the first to know.
- **Simple and Clear Interface:** Gem Wallet is easy to use from the first launch for both beginners and experienced users - every feature is in view, with no cluttered menus.
