# Slippage Handling

Liberty DEX does not use a user-defined slippage setting in the traditional sense.

Instead of relying on manual slippage tolerance, each swap is executed based on predefined pricing bounds included in the signed order. These bounds define the acceptable execution range for the trade and are enforced at the protocol level.

### Execution Guarantees

Before submitting a swap, the interface provides a best output amount.

This value represents the best amount of tokens the user will receive if the order is executed. Any execution that does not meet this condition will not be completed.

Because pricing constraints are embedded directly into the order, users are protected from unfavorable price movement without needing to configure slippage manually.

### Comparison to Traditional Swaps

In conventional AMM-based swaps, slippage tolerance must be explicitly defined by the user and may expose the trade to price impact or MEV-related risks.

In Liberty DEX, pricing constraints are enforced through the intent-based execution model, removing the need for manual slippage configuration while ensuring predictable outcomes.

This approach simplifies the swap experience while maintaining strict control over execution quality.
