Slippage is the difference between the expected price and the actual execution price of a trade. It usually occurs during high market volatility or low liquidity.
While some slippage is unavoidable when swapping ETH for USDT, you can minimize risks by:
1. Choosing high-volume, high-liquidity assets for more stable and efficient order execution.
2. Preferring smaller trades over large ones, as smaller trades are more likely to execute near the expected price.
3. Adjusting your slippage tolerance according to market volatility, slightly increasing it during extreme fluctuations to improve execution success.
