Trades settle somewhat slower than on centralized exchanges, especially during high volume - to mitigate this, we provide slippage controls, and all trading operations take place on xDai, which is significantly faster than the Ethereum base layer.

By default, up to 0.5% slippage is allowed. Increase or decrease this using the orange gear icon ⚙️.
