# Slippage

Slippage is how many less tokens you're willing to receive in any given transaction. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Your slippage depends on the volatility of the token. Higher marketcap coins that arent as volitile generally require less slippage.
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="High Slippage" %}
Above 20% increases your odds of being MEVed. Only recommended for highly volatile tokens.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Default Slippage" %}
20% — recommended for general purpose.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Low Slippage" %}
1% - 20% — recommended for lower odds of being MEVed. Risk of transaction failure due to slippage error.
{% endtab %}
