# FAQ

<details>

<summary>What is Slippage?</summary>

Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which it actually executes. A higher slippage percentage increases the chance of execution but may result in a worse price, while a lower percentage reduces risk but could cause the trade to fail.

<summary>What is Gas?</summary>

Gas is the fee for processing Solana transactions, with base gas being the minimum required. Adding gas increases your fee, prioritizing your transaction for faster processing.

<summary>What is MEV Tip?</summary>

When the Solana network is busy, a MEV Tip lets you pay extra to speed up your transaction. Validators prioritize transactions with higher tips.

<summary>When should I increase Gas and MEV Tip?</summary>

Increase Gas and MEV tip during times of high network congestion or when experiencing failed transactions. If issues persist, adjusting slippage tolerance may also help.

<summary>What is MEV (PROTECTION) and PUBLIC?</summary>

With **MEV** enabled, transactions are sent to Jito validators, protecting you from MEV attacks.

With **PUBLIC** enabled, transactions are sent to the next available validator. This is faster than just enabling **MEV**, but exposes you to **MEV** attacks. We recommend using tight slippage (5% or less) when **PUBLIC** is enabled.

<summary>What are Limit Orders?</summary>

Limit orders allow users to buy or sell tokens at a specified price or better. Unlike market orders, which execute instantly at the current market price, limit orders only trigger when the asset reaches the set price.

<summary>How can I extract my private key from Banana Pro?</summary>

You can’t. Banana Pro doesn’t provide an option to retrieve your private key. When generating a wallet, securely save your private key—it cannot be recovered. Never share it. And remember, the team will never ask for it!
