Definition
Slippage is the price gap you accept between quote and execution. Set 0.5% for stable pairs, 1–3% for typical meme coins, 5%+ for illiquid or trending launches. Too tight = tx fails; too loose = you get sandwiched.
Jupiter and Raydium let you set slippage per swap. MEV-protected RPCs reduce the impact of sandwich bots exploiting high slippage.
