FAQs about transferring and swapping CTR on UniSwap
- How do I use Uniswap?
First you’ll need an Ethereum Wallet and some ETH. Once completed, head over to the app to start using the protocol to provide liquidity or swap tokens. Remember that each transaction on Ethereum costs ETH (this is called the “gas fee” and it’s paid to miners to keep the network running)
2. How do I find CTR token?
If you can’t find CTR in the default list, find the token address using etherscan then paste Creator smart contract addressinto the search field.
The Creator’s official smart contract address:
0x923b83c26B3809d960fF80332Ed00aA46D7Ed375
3. I saw a token was trading at X value, but when I traded on Uniswap I got a much lower value!
Websites that show token prices, like eitherscan.io or coinmarketcap.com, typically aggregate price data from multiple sources. Some of these sources can be inaccurate, especially regarding new or low volume tokens. If a website or app says a token is worth more than what is shown on Uniswap, it is due to the website’s or app’s inaccurate data sources. Always check the exchange rate on the Uniswap app before trading.
4. Why is my swap failing or stuck?
You might be trying to swap a fee on transfer or deflationary token. If so, you have to increase your allowed slippage to account for the fee taken during the swap. Click on the gear for settings and adjust slippage tolerance accordingly.
Otherwise, if your transaction is taking forever or is stuck pending, the gas included might be too low and the transaction will not be processed. You probably need to speed up or cancel the transaction in your wallet.

5. Why does my transaction cost X?
Ethereum requires gas to execute each transaction. You can also check ETH gas station for the current prices required to complete transactions. Creating a Uniswap pool is a slightly costlier transaction because you are executing a more complex smart contract. Read more about how gas works in Ethereum.
I accidentally transferred tokens directly to a pair contract, is there any way I can get them back?
Uniswap token pair contracts are ownerless. We have no special control over the pair contracts’ functionality; because of this, any tokens accidentally transferred to the token contract itself are lost forever.
6. My swap failed with code “EXPIRED”, what happened?
If a swap takes more than 20 minutes to execute, the router is programmed to fail the transaction. This is to protect the user from extreme swings in prices that can occur while the transaction is pending. If this happens, your tokens will still be in your wallet, but the gas fees paid are not recoverable. To keep this from happening, use a high enough gas price to have your transaction mined in under 20 minutes. This usually falls under “Standard” or “Fast” in most gas price calculators.
