Slippage

tradingintermediate

Definition

The difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual executed price, caused by price movement between submission and execution. Larger trades in low-liquidity pools have more slippage.

Example

Swapping $100k of USDC for a low-liquidity token might result in 5% slippage — you get $95k worth instead of $100k.
