Understanding Slippage

Slippage is the difference between expected and actual price due to market movement.

Default Slippage Settings

• Standard: 5% (recommended for most trades)

• Low liquidity: 10-15% (for new or volatile tokens)

• High liquidity: 1-3% (for established tokens)

Adjusting Slippage

1. Open Transaction Settings (gear icon)

2. Adjust the slippage tolerance

3. Higher slippage = more likely to execute, but worse price

4. Lower slippage = better price, but may fail during volatility

Important: Setting slippage too low may cause transactions to fail. Setting it too high may result in unfavorable prices.

The Bonding Curve Explained

How It Works

1. Initial Price: Tokens start at a low, fixed price

2. Price Increases: Each purchase raises the price slightly

3. Price Decreases: Each sale lowers the price slightly

4. Automated: No manual liquidity provision needed

5. Graduation: At ~63,000 SOL market cap, token moves to Raydium

Benefits

• ✅ Always liquid - no waiting for buyers/sellers

• ✅ Fair pricing based on demand

• ✅ No rug pull risk from developers

• ✅ Transparent price discovery

Reading the Curve

• Steep curve = Price increases quickly with volume

• Gradual curve = More tokens available before significant price increase

• Progress bar = Shows distance to Raydium graduation

Token Metrics to Consider

Essential Metrics

Market Cap

• Indicates overall project size

• Higher cap = more established

Trading Volume

• Total value traded in 24h

• Higher volume = more active trading

• Good indicator of interest

Holder Count

• Number of unique holders

• More holders = better distribution

• Avoid tokens with few holders

Age

• How long token has existed

• Newer tokens = higher risk/reward

• Older tokens = more established

Advanced Metrics

Holder Distribution

• Percentage held by top holders

• Ideal: Well-distributed among many holders

• Red flag: Few holders own most tokens

Price Change

• 1h, 24h, 7d performance

• Helps identify trends

• Consider both up and downtrends

Graduation Progress

• How close to Raydium migration

• Near graduation = potential milestone

• Track progress bar on token page

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Transaction Failed

Possible causes:

Price Different Than Expected

Cause: Price moved between quote and execution

Solutions:

• Increase slippage tolerance

• Trade during lower volatility

• Use limit-style strategies (wait for better prices)

Can't Find Token

Solutions:
