SlipGuard shows what a swap is likely to cost before you execute elsewhere — and whether the math adds up. Analysis only. No execution, signing, or fund movement. Not financial advice.
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Route | Identifier for the path across pools and DEXs. |
| Hops | Each leg of the swap (token in → token out on a DEX). |
| Est Out | Estimated output before gas is subtracted. |
| Gas Adj Out | Output after gas — usually the more realistic “what you keep.” |
| Confidence | Estimate reliability (0–100%). Lower = treat with caution. |
| Recon bps | Reconciliation check. ≤ 1 bps = cost parts sum correctly. |
| Component | Plain language |
|---|---|
| lp_fee | Fee paid to the liquidity pool. |
| price_impact | Cost from moving the pool price against you. |
| gas | Network transaction cost in USD terms. |
| bridge_relay_fee | Cross-chain or relay fee when applicable. |
| mev_risk_premium | Estimated buffer for sandwich risk — not a guaranteed loss. |
Post-trade attribution, monitored-pair watchlists, provider value tracking, and retention policy remain available via the API for schema and integration testing. They are not a public console panel — the backend uses seeded/demo monitoring data, not live fills or wallet watch.
data_source_metadata remains on API responses for operator/debug use — it is not a public console panel.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| bps | Basis points. 1 bps = 0.01%. 50 bps ≈ 0.5% of trade value. |
| Hidden costs | LP fee, price impact, gas, bridge/relay, and MEV risk beyond the headline quote. |
| Route / hops | Path across pools; more hops can mean more fees and risk. |
| Gas Adj Out | Output after gas — more realistic than Est Out. |
| MEV risk premium | Estimated sandwich or reordering risk buffer. |
| Confidence | Estimate reliability from data quality and conditions. |
| Reconciliation | Check that cost components add up to total hidden cost. |
