*If a transaction error with very high gas fee (usually over 200 USD), appears please do not proceed and go back to the parameter page to check if everything is entered correctly.*

Pool creators need to come back to check the pool status page and manually claim the swapped ETH/USDT and any unswapped tokens. This can be done in one transaction at the end of the auction.
