What Is Slippage on Uniswap?
Slippage is the difference between an expected trade price and the execution price. Understand why it happens, how slippage tolerance works, and why setting it too high can be risky.
Why slippage happens
Prices can move while a transaction waits to be included in a block. Trade size, pool liquidity, volatility, and competing transactions can affect execution.
Slippage tolerance explained
Tolerance settings define how much the execution may differ from the expected result before a transaction is rejected. The appropriate setting depends on the asset and market conditions; there is no universally safe number.
Be careful with unusual prompts
A request for unusually high slippage can increase the risk of receiving a worse price. Check token authenticity and transaction details, and do not change settings simply because a third party tells you to.
