Trading Tips & Best Practices

Understand Slippage

Slippage is the difference between your expected price and actual execution price. Higher slippage tolerance allows trades to complete but may result in worse prices. Default is 1% which is reasonable for most trades.

Start Small

When testing a new token, start with a small amount. This helps you understand how the bonding curve works and reduces risk if something unexpected happens.

Check Token Information

Always review the token's creator, supply, and current price before buying. Look at trading history to understand market depth and liquidity.

Use Solscan for Verification

Click the Solscan link in transaction confirmations to verify your trades on the blockchain. This confirms the transaction actually executed as expected.

Maintain SOL for Fees

Always keep some SOL in your wallet for transaction fees (~0.01 SOL per transaction). Running out of SOL prevents you from trading or claiming rewards.
