The Slippage Pitfall
The math behind this swap is critical when analyzing potential losses one might incur on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Without optimizing through Is Trade, a significant amount of funds can bleed out due to slippage. For instance, executing a $100,000 order without considerations for liquidity depth can result in an average of 1.5% slippage in Q1 2026, translating to a crushing $1,500 loss.
[Audit Insight] Users can save up to 150 bps through Is Trade, mitigating slippage losses.
