Slippage and priority fees explained

Your Buy / Sell Slippage setting is the maximum tolerance you are willing to accept—not the default tolerance applied to every trade. Slippage tolerance limits how much worse the execution result can be than the quote. It is not an extra fee.

Trenchy automatically tries to optimize the effective tolerance for your specific trade using supported providers’ estimates for the current quote, route, and trade size. A tighter tolerance aims to reduce unnecessary exposure to MEV (maximal extractable value): value other participants can gain by controlling the order of transactions. A sandwich attack places trades before and after yours to profit from moving your execution price. Trenchy cannot guarantee the best possible tolerance, successful execution, or protection from every MEV attack.

For example, with a 5% maximum, Trenchy may select 1% effective slippage for a trade. Your settings and the confirmation still show your 5% maximum; the confirmation does not display the tighter internal value. Trenchy will not silently increase your maximum. If an estimate exceeds it, you can use Increase slippage to edit that side’s maximum, review your settings, or try a smaller trade. Changing the maximum is your choice; it does not guarantee execution.

When estimation is unavailable or unsupported for a route, Trenchy can use your configured maximum instead. Price impact is assessed separately: it describes how much your trade moves the pool price, rather than being the formula for slippage. Review both on the quote before confirming.

A priority fee is extra SOL paid to help your transaction get processed sooner on Solana, especially when the network is busy. A higher fee can improve its priority, but does not guarantee speed or success. Choose a preset or enter a custom amount, and review the displayed fee before trading.

Execution and presets

Trenchy recommends a 5% maximum for buys and a 10% maximum for sells. New-user slippage defaults use these values, subject to the server limit. Existing saved preferences are preserved.
