Swap Related Questions

1.0 Q: Why do I only get a little EOS when I use swap?

A: Due to the existence of slippage, when the pool depth is not enough, the greater the slippage, the less amount you can actually get. You need to pay attention to the expected received amount hint when exchanging. The amount you see when you do not enter the amount is the current best amount available.

1.1 Q: How does slippage occur? How to calculate?

A: Slippage = (ideal exchange price - actual exchange price) / ideal exchange price. The ideal exchange price is the price when the exchange amount is not entered in the pool you want to exchange, that is, the ratio of the liquidity pool.

1.2 Q: What is the principle of slippage protection? How to set it up?

A: There will be a secondary pop-up window for transaction confirmation to prevent the tokens received much lower than expected. You can set your desired slippage in the transaction settings. As shown in Figure.

1.3 Q: What is transaction price protection?

A: After the exchange request is submitted, the actual exchange price may rise again on the basis of the original slippage. When the re-exchange range exceeds the upper limit of the set range, the exchange will be automatically cancelled to avoid unnecessary losses. You can set it in the following ways, as shown in Figure.

2. Q: Why does it give me multiple paths when swapping?

A: The multi-path is calculated according to the best path for your exchange at that time, please rest assured that you get the maximum amount you can get. Small amounts of input may be multi-pathed.

2.1 Q: Why am I charged multiple times for multi-pathing?

A: Each multi-path exchange is one exchange, so you will be charged multiple times when you go through multi-path exchange, but the amount of tokens you get should be the maximum amount, please rest assured.

2.2 Q: Can I use multipath without it? Is there a way to close it.

A: Yes. In the Swap exchange interface, perform the following operations to shut down the multi-path exchange. It should be noted that when you shut it down, some trading pairs do not exist, which will lead to inability to exchange, please be aware.
