# ReservesTooLow (/docs/errors/chain/ReservesTooLow)

The output-side reserve is below the swap pallet's `MinimumReserve`, or a swap step produced zero output for a nonzero input. Check the subnet's TAO and alpha reserves against `MinimumReserve` and reduce the trade size.

Declared by the `Swap` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`insufficient_liquidity`](/docs/errors/insufficient-liquidity).

## Remediation [#remediation]

The pool cannot absorb this trade; reduce the amount or split it into smaller steps

The same explanation is available in the terminal: `btcli explain ReservesTooLow`.
