❓FAQ

What is Slippage?

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.

What is Gas?

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.

What is MEV Tip?

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

When should I increase Gas and MEV Tip?

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

What is MEV (PROTECTION) and PUBLIC?

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.

What are Limit Orders?

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.
