When fixed transaction costs dominate a small swap
Calculate how a fixed transaction charge changes the economics of small swaps and identify the size at which it meets your budget.
Where did the better-than-quoted output go?
Verify whether a better-than-quoted execution increased the recipient balance and separate improved output from a changing dollar valuation.
Why a wallet's dollar value is a poor execution benchmark
Explain why a wallet dollar balance can change after a swap even when the received token quantity matches the quote.
Why identical swaps from two wallets can cost different amounts
Explain why matching swap requests can have different costs across wallets because of allowance, account and preparation state.
Why quote timestamps matter more than screenshot order
Control observation times when comparing swap quotes and distinguish a better route from a market that moved between screenshots.
Why the final network fee differs from the estimate
Reconcile a swap network-fee estimate with actual gas usage, effective gas price and other explicitly reported network components.
