What does slippage mean?

Slippage is the difference between the price you were quoted for a trade and the price you actually get, caused by the market moving while your transaction waits to be confirmed. On a DEX you set a slippage tolerance: the most you will accept.

What it means for you. If the price moves past your tolerance, the swap fails, and on many chains you still pay the network fee. A high tolerance lets the swap go through at a much worse price, and bots can exploit a loose setting. Check the minimum amount you will receive before you confirm.
