Slippage

Understanding price differences in swaps.

Slippage is the difference between the expected price when you initiate a swap and the actual price when the transaction executes.

Why Does Slippage Occur?

Price changes can happen between when you submit a transaction and when it's confirmed on the blockchain due to:

  • Other transactions executing before yours
  • Market volatility
  • Low liquidity pools

mon8's Approach

mon8 automatically manages slippage tolerance (set at 1%) to balance between:

  • Transaction success rate
  • Price protection

This means your swap may execute at a slightly different price than displayed, but within a safe range.

Automatic Management

You don't need to configure slippage - mon8 handles it to optimize your swaps.
