What Is the Difference between ‘Slippage Tolerance’ and a ‘Limit Order’ in DeFi?
Slippage tolerance is a setting on a market order that defines the maximum acceptable percentage difference between the expected execution price and the actual execution price. A limit order is an instruction to buy or sell at a specified price or better.
Slippage tolerance protects against price swings on a market order; a limit order dictates the exact price.
