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.
