A limit order that has been placed can be cancelled using the Uniswap web app.
To cancel a limit order, you will have to pay the network cost of the cancelling transaction. This network cost is a result of the blockchain processing the cancellation.
Network costs go to the network for transaction processing and are not collected by Uniswap Labs.
A limit order may execute even after a cancellation is submitted. This can happen in two situations:
- The limit order executes before the limit orders cancellation is submitted.
- The limit order executes after the user submits the cancellation but before the cancellation is processed on-chain.
How to cancel an open limit order:
- Open Uniswap web app and connect your wallet. Then select the wallet icon.
- Select “open limits”.
- Select the limit order(s) you would like to cancel.
Note: Cancelling multiple limit orders at once is more efficient and can save on network costs. - Select “Cancel limit”.
- Select “Proceed”.
- In your wallet, confirm the cancellation. This transaction requires network costs.
- Once confirmed the cancellation will be submitted to the blockchain (pending).
-
You will see “Cancellation Successful” and a green checkmark on screen when the transaction is successfully completed.
You have now successfully cancelled a limit order! To view your cancellation on the blockchain you can select “View on Explorer”.
