Slippage Tolerance Explained
Slippage tolerance sets the worst price you will accept between when a swap is quoted and when it executes. It protects against price movement, not against a bad quote to begin with.
What it protects against
Between quoting a swap and it confirming on-chain, the price can move. Slippage tolerance sets how much movement you will accept before the transaction reverts instead of executing.
Too tight fails, too loose costs
A tolerance set too low can cause a swap to fail repeatedly in a moving market; one set too high can let a trade execute at a materially worse price than quoted.
Check the minimum received
The minimum-received amount shown before you approve a swap is the number your slippage tolerance actually controls. Review that figure directly rather than only the percentage.
