Advanced Settings

The bridge uses a set of sensible defaults to make trading as easy as possible for the average trader. We do however offer some more advanced settings.

Optimize swap for

By default, we optimize swap for the best price and not for the fastest execution speed. To get you the best price, we may use something called Streaming Swaps from Maya and Thorchain.

Streaming swaps

Streaming swaps break up your trade into smaller bits that are executed over time. By default one part is executed every 5 blocks, which is about a minute, and the network automatically calculates the amount of parts to get you the best price.

It can happen that part of the transaction does not meet the slippage that you set, and that the price you want for the trade is not met. Without streaming swaps, the whole transaction is canceled, but with streaming swaps only the parts that fail are refunded. So if you get fewer tokens than expected, check your original wallet account to see if any refunds happened.

Slippage

To protect you against large price fluctuations you can set the maximum slippage you want on the trade. By default, this is set to 3%, but you can choose 1%, 3%, 5% or even 10%. The bigger the slippage, to more likely it is the trade will succeed, but you can get up to the slippage percentage less than expected.

Transaction Priority Fees

When network congestion occurs on a chain, transactions might fail. To get your transaction executed you can set higher priority fees. We set the priority fees to Fast by default, to get a good balance between transaction fees and succeeded transactions. If you know what you are doing, you can lower or increase the priority fees.
