Swap
FAQ
OKX DEX Swap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator that allows you to trade crypto seamlessly across multiple blockchains. Our X Routing algorithm finds the best prices by comparing liquidity pools, splitting orders, and optimizing for fees and slippage.
OKX DEX uses advanced algorithms to aggregate liquidity from multiple DEXs and liquidity providers (LPs). By splitting orders and considering factors such as price, slippage, and network fees, we ensure you get the best possible rates.
1. Insufficient network fee. During times of network congestion, network fees may skyrocket. Miners prioritize transactions with higher network fees, so if your transaction isn’t picked up by a miner for an extended period, it can result in transaction failure. Therefore, when initiating a transaction, it’s recommended to use the default values recommended by the platform. 2. Exceeded slippage. In volatile markets, liquidity depths can change. If the trading amount falls below the required minimum, the contract may halt the transaction, leading to a failed transaction due to exceeded slippage. 3.Duplicate transactions. If a user initiates multiple identical transactions simultaneously, but their balance is only sufficient to cover the first transaction, subsequent transactions will fail.
You can purchase the corresponding tokens on the OKX Exchange and withdraw them to your wallet address, or you can use OKX DEX’s Swap for gas feature, which allows you to quickly swap mainstream assets such as USDT, USDC, DAI, and WETH into gas tokens.
Slippage refers to the price difference between the expected price of a trade and its actual execution price. Slippage is an implicit cost of trading and is inevitable in most trades, especially in a DEX. Slippage becomes more prominent during market volatility or when there is insufficient liquidity on the trading platform.
Slippage cannot be completely avoided, but its impact can be minimized in three ways: 1. The best way is to choose assets with high trading volume and liquidity. 2. You can opt for transactions with smaller amounts, which are more likely to be executed, instead of placing large orders directly. 3. Consider adjusting the slippage tolerance during price fluctuations, where slippage may exceed the preset limit when your transaction is executed. In this case, increasing slippage could avoid transaction failure, but it also means you can't get a good price. Please proceed with caution.
Some tokens have a higher slippage tolerance due to the presence of transaction taxes, such as SAFEMOON, which are used for liquidity pool buy-back, token burning, and rewarding token holders. To help you trade these tokens, OKX DEX has launched automated slippage to improve the success rate of these trades at the current optimal slippage level.
