Calculate Slippage and Read Minimum Output

Slippage tolerance describes an acceptable execution difference. It is not a fee paid simply because a percentage appears in settings. A minimum-output limit must be interpreted with the exact transaction that enforces it.

Work through a hypothetical calculation

Suppose an illustrative quote estimates 100 output tokens and applies a 1% tolerance directly to that amount. The corresponding minimum is 100 × (1 − 0.01), or 99 tokens. At a 0.5% tolerance, the illustrative minimum would be 99.5. These are arithmetic examples, not current quotes or recommended settings. A real provider may calculate a limit using route-specific amounts, fees and rounding, so do not replace its transaction validation with this example.

Understand the tradeoff

Uniswap’s explanation notes that a low tolerance can cause a transaction to fail when market movement exceeds the allowed change; a high tolerance can permit less favorable output. Increasing the percentage is therefore not a neutral fix for every error. Investigate the requested amount, quote freshness and asset identities before deciding what a failure means. This guide does not recommend signing a revised transaction.

Keep three quantities apart

Write separate lines for estimated output, minimum output and network cost. The interface fee is another disclosure to inspect, including whether it was already deducted from the estimate. A minimum of 99 in the example above does not mean the user pays a one-token fee. It describes an output bound under the stated assumptions. Gas should not be silently subtracted in token units without a clear conversion.

Apply RunixCoin’s current limits

RunixCoin can show Minimum Received as Unavailable when the response lacks a valid limit. Do not interpret that label as zero or as permission for unrestricted output. The public form remains quote-only and does not establish a signable transaction enforcing a minimum. A screenshot of an estimate is insufficient evidence that protection was applied on-chain.
