HOPR ico help

[cryptonoob25]

  First off, sorry if this is in the wrong sub. I have a question for anyone who knows what went wrong here. I tried getting into the hopr ico, send eth to metamask, converted it to dai, then swapped dai-hopr on the balancer exchange and got a receipt that said success. The full dai balance that I used is still in my metamask wallet, and the balancer exchange shows my full balance as well, until I go to buy and it says insufficient funds to swap. The weirdest thing is that I swapped the max amount dai-hopr but the receipt says only a 10$ fee was taken, as if the coins got rejected but the fee went through or something? The only thing I can think of is maybe I didn't add a new token to the metamask wallet and it couldn't add it into my wallet? First time trying this so idk what went wrong. Thanks in advance for any help!

If your tx gets rejected and your fees will be eaten by the network and you should create another tx with higher gas fees and you will not lose your coin but you will be only losing your gas dude. Even if you didn't add a new custom token on metamask and your hopr will still on your wallet and you can make it appears anytime through adding a custom token feature.

The Dai never left my account. As for the gas, I paid about 130$ for it to get rejected because I tried to send eth-hopr instead of dai to hopr. I know I can't recover the gas fees. I want to understand why I swapped max dai for hopr and the only thing that went through was the fee which was 10$... Now when I click swap again, it says insufficient funds. I don't want to keep paying gas fees since I'm not sure whats wrong...
