What is Slippage?

Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price you receive.

This happens because prices can change between the time you submit a transaction and the time it gets confirmed on the blockchain.

Example:

You try to swap 1 BNB for 100 CAKE tokens, but by the time the transaction confirms, the price moves and you only receive 98 CAKE. That 2% difference is called slippage.

Slippage Tolerance in Bitiness

On Bitiness, you can manually set a Slippage Tolerance. This tells the DEX how much of a price change you’re willing to accept for your trade to go through.

Common Settings:

• 1% – 3%: Low slippage (good for stable pairs with high liquidity as standard range)

• 3% – 10%+: High slippage (useful for volatile or low-liquidity tokens)

If the price changes beyond your set tolerance, the transaction will fail, and gas fees may still be charged.
