Swap Settings

Click the settings icon (⚙️) to adjust transaction parameters:
Slippage is the maximum price movement you’ll accept during the swap.Preset Options:
  • 0.1% - Very tight (may fail on volatile pairs)
  • 0.5% - Default (recommended for most swaps)
  • 1.0% - Loose (better for volatile pairs)
Custom Slippage:
  • Enter any value between 0% and 50%
  • Higher slippage protects against transaction failures but may result in less favorable rates
Slippage above 5% shows a warning. Very high slippage may expose you to front-running risks.
The maximum time your transaction can be pending before it automatically reverts.Default: 20 minutesRange: 1 minute to 72 hours (4320 minutes)

Tips and Best Practices

Check Gas Fees

Always ensure you have enough HYPE tokens to cover gas fees before executing transactions.

Review Routes

Check the swap route to understand which pools will be used. Multi-hop routes may have higher gas costs.

Set Appropriate Slippage

Use lower slippage for stable pairs and higher slippage for volatile pairs to avoid failed transactions.

Monitor Transactions

Keep track of your transaction status. Failed transactions don’t cost gas, but you may need to adjust settings.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure your wallet is connected
  • Check that you have sufficient balance
  • Verify you’re on the correct network (HyperEVM)
  • Try approving the token again if needed
  • Try searching by contract address
  • Ensure the token exists on HyperEVM
  • Check that you’re connected to the correct network
  • Refresh the page to reload token list
  • Increase slippage tolerance
  • Check gas fees and ensure sufficient HYPE balance
  • Verify token balances are sufficient
  • Try a smaller amount
  • Check network congestion
  • Prices update in real-time but may lag slightly
  • Check multiple sources for price verification
  • Large swaps may have price impact
  • Review the route information for multi-hop swaps
