Learning the friendly way

‍‍Slippage is a natural part of trading that happens when there’s a difference between the price you expect to pay for an asset and the price you actually get. It’s common across all markets, from crypto to forex, stocks, and commodities, and it reflects the gap between your order request and the execution price.

Understanding how slippage works helps investors manage expectations, avoid unnecessary losses, and choose smarter trading strategies. In this guide, we’ll explore what causes slippage, how to calculate it, and how to minimize its impact in real trading scenarios.

What Is Slippage In Trading?

Slippage is when an investor opens a trade but between creating the trade and executing the trade; the price changes due to price movements in the greater market. This can often be a costly problem in the financial sector and particularly when trading digital currencies on crypto exchanges.

How Does Slippage Occur?

The two main causes of slippage are volatility and liquidity, outlined in more information below.

Volatility is when the price changes rapidly, as is common in cryptocurrency markets, and as a result the price changes between the time of creating the buy or sell order and the time of execution. 

Liquidity concerns on the other hand are when the coin you are trading is not traded very often and the range between the lowest ask and the highest bid is wide. This can cause sudden and dramatic price changes, resulting in slippage. Fewer people trading an asset results in fewer asking prices, resulting in less favourable prices. 

This is common among altcoins with low volume and liquidity. While slippage can occur in forex and stock markets too, it is much more prevalent in crypto markets, particularly on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). 

There are two types of slippages:

Positive Slippage

Positive slippage is when a trader creates a buy order and the executed price is lower than the price initially expected. This will result in the trader getting a better rate. The same is true for a sell order that experiences a higher price point at trade execution, resulting in more favourable value for the trader. Positive slippage banks profits.

Negative Slippage

Negative slippage is when the trader loses out on the trade, with the price of the buy order higher than expected at the time of execution. The opposite is true for sell orders, meaning that the execution price is lower at the time of execution, similarly resulting in losses for the trader..

How To Calculate Slippage

Slippage can be calculated in two ways, either in dollar amount or percentage. Although to work out the percentage, you will first need the dollar amount. This is calculated by subtracting the price you expected to pay from the price you actually paid. This amount will indicate if you incurred a positive or negative slippage. 

Most exchanges express this amount in percentages. This is calculated by dividing the dollar amount of slippage by the difference between the price you expected to get and the limit price. Then multiply that by 100.

Slippage Example in Practice

Imagine you plan to buy 1 BTC for $50,000, but by the time your market order executes, the price has risen to $50,250. You’ve experienced negative slippage of $250.

Now imagine you place a limit order at $50,000, and the order executes at $49,900, that’s positive slippage, meaning you paid less than expected.

To calculate slippage:
Slippage amount = Executed Price − Expected Price
Slippage percentage = (Slippage ÷ Expected Price Difference) × 100

For example, if your expected buy was £50,000 and you paid £50,250, slippage = £250 (0.5%).

This simple math helps traders evaluate execution quality and whether slippage is within acceptable limits.

Slippage Across Different Markets

Crypto Markets:

Crypto markets operate 24/7 and can swing several percent in seconds. On decentralised exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap, prices depend on liquidity pools; so if liquidity is low, large trades can move the price dramatically. Tokens with small trading volumes, like new altcoins, are particularly prone to high slippage.

Forex Markets:

In the foreign exchange market, slippage often occurs during news releases (e.g., interest rate decisions). Liquidity is usually high, but during volatile moments, even major pairs like GBP/USD can slip several pips.

Stock Markets:

Stock slippage tends to appear at market open or close, when volatility spikes. During major events (earnings reports, Fed meetings) even large-cap shares can gap before orders fill.

Across all asset classes, slippage is most noticeable during low liquidity or high volatility, two conditions traders should always monitor.

How To Avoid Slippage

While one can't eradicate slippage entirely, there are several measures one can take to better manage slippage, as regularly falling victim to negative slippages can result in losing a lot of money. 

Create limit orders:

Instead of creating market orders, traders can instead create limit orders as these types of trades don't settle for unfavourable prices. Market orders are designed to execute a trade service as quickly as possible at the current available price.

Set a slippage percentage:

Traders can create a slippage percentage that eliminates trades happening outside of the predetermined range. This can range from 0.1% to 5%, however, if the slippage percentage is too low this could lead to the trade not being executed and the trader missing out on large drops/jumps.

Understand the coin's volatility:

When in doubt, get educated. Learn about the coin's volatility as well as the volatility on the trading platform you are using. Understanding more about previous patterns can assist in making more informed decisions on when to open and close a position, and avoiding negative slippages.

Bottom Line

Slippage is inevitable but manageable. Whether you’re trading crypto, forex, or equities, some gap between expected and actual execution is normal. The goal isn’t to eliminate slippage, but to understand it, anticipate it, and minimize unnecessary exposure.

By combining timing awareness and education, traders can protect profits and execute more confidently, even in fast-moving markets.

Var kommer pundtecknet ifrån?

Det brittiska pundet, symboliserat med £, har en över 1 200 år lång historia. Ursprungligen användes det som viktmått för silver i det anglosaxiska England och blev officiell valuta år 1694 under kung William III.

Pundet fick global betydelse genom det brittiska imperiets expansion, och trots historiska utmaningar – som valutadevalvering 1967 och Brexit – förblir det en stark och inflytelserik valuta.

Enligt Bank of England härstammar symbolen från bokstaven L, första bokstaven i det latinska ordet libra, som betyder "pund". Den horisontella linjen i symbolen tros ha tillkommit på 1600-talet och finns dokumenterad på ett checkexemplar från 1660.

I brittisk skrivstil placeras pundtecknet före summan – exempelvis: £10.

🎭 Kul fakta: År 1970 lanserades en ny £20-sedel med William Shakespeare, vilket lade grunden till traditionen att pryda sedlar med historiskt betydelsefulla personer.

Så skriver du £ i ett dokument

Du kanske redan har testat att köpa och sälja kryptovalutor – men har du koll på airdrops? En airdrop är en marknadsföringsstrategi som används för att skapa uppmärksamhet och bygga upp ett starkare nätverk kring ett kryptoprojekt.

I den här guiden går vi igenom vad airdrops är, hur de fungerar och varför de har blivit ett populärt sätt att engagera communityn – ofta med riktiga tokenbelöningar.

Vad är en krypto-airdrop?

En krypto-airdrop innebär att ett projekt delar ut sina egna tokens gratis till användare. Målet? Att skapa hype, öka spridningen av sina tokens och locka nya användare – ofta i ett tidigt skede innan projektet listas på en börs.

I vissa fall krävs det små insatser, som att följa projektets sociala medier eller gå med i en Telegram-kanal. I andra fall får man tokenbelöningen utan att behöva göra något alls.

Airdrops blev särskilt populära under ICO-boomen 2017 och används fortfarande idag. Och även om tokenen ges bort gratis, kan dess värde öka med tiden – vilket gör airdrops potentiellt intressanta för användare.

När projekten delar ut tokens ökar också decentraliseringen, vilket ofta ses som ett positivt tecken på att projektet är community-drivet.

Hur fungerar en krypto-airdrop?

En airdrop finns ofta med i ett projekts roadmap och startar när vissa kriterier är uppfyllda. Det kan handla om att uppnå ett antal användare, genomföra en marknadskampanj eller lansera en viss funktion.

Tokens delas vanligtvis ut i små mängder till många olika plånböcker. Dessa tokens bygger ofta på blockkedjor som Ethereum eller andra smarta kontraktsplattformar.

För att kvalificera sig kan man behöva:

• Hålla ett visst antal tokens i sin plånbok
• Gå med i en community
• Utföra enkla marknadsföringsuppgifter (t.ex. gilla ett inlägg)

En lyckad airdrop leder ofta till att användare själva sprider ordet och skapar intresse kring projektet.

Airdrop vs ICO – vad är skillnaden?

Både airdrops och ICO:er handlar om nya kryptoprojekt, men det finns en tydlig skillnad:

• Airdrop: Tokens delas ut gratis som en form av marknadsföring.
• ICO (Initial Coin Offering): Tokens säljs till användare till ett fast pris – som ett sätt att samla in kapital.

Man kan säga att ICO är ett crowdfunding-verktyg, medan airdrops är ett marknadsföringsgrepp.

Vilka typer av airdrops finns?

Det finns olika typer av airdrops – här är de tre vanligaste:

🎯 Exklusiva airdrops

Riktade mot aktiva medlemmar eller early adopters. Tokens skickas endast till utvalda plånböcker.
Exempel: Uniswap skickade 400 UNI till varje användare som använt plattformen innan ett visst datum.

🪙 Bounty airdrops

Användare måste utföra uppgifter, t.ex. gilla inlägg, dela tweets eller tagga vänner. Vissa projekt ber om bevis innan distribution.

🔒 Holder airdrops

Belöningar till befintliga innehavare av projektets token. Projekten tar en "snapshot" av alla plånböcker och skickar belöningar till dem som uppfyller kriterierna.

Exempel: 2016 airdroppade Stellar 3 miljarder XLM till Bitcoin-innehavare för att locka användare till sin plattform.

Finns det risker med airdrops?

Ja – precis som allt annat i krypto finns det risker att känna till:

• Bedrägliga projekt kan skicka tokens till din plånbok – men när du försöker använda dem kan plånboken bli tömd.
• Phishing-sajter kan efterlikna riktiga projekt och be dig ansluta din plånbok – och i värsta fall stjäla dina tillgångar.
• Ingen legitim airdrop kommer någonsin kräva din seed phrase eller att du skickar pengar för att "låsa upp" en token.

En annan nackdel är att distributionen kan ge falska intryck. Tusentals tokens i tusentals plånböcker kan få ett projekt att se större ut än det egentligen är.

👉 Tips: Kontrollera alltid att projektet har verklig handelsvolym – inte bara många innehavare.

Yield farming is a method to generate more crypto with your crypto holdings. The process involves you lending your digital assets to others by means of the power of computer programs known as smart contracts.

Cryptocurrency holders have the option of leaving their assets idle in a wallet or binding them into a smart contract to assist with liquidity. Yield farming allows you to benefit and gain rewards from your cryptocurrency without spending any more of it. Sounds quite easy, right?

Well, hold on because it isn't that straightforward and we are just getting started. 

Yield farmers employ highly advanced tactics in order to improve returns.

They constantly move their cryptocurrencies among a variety of lending markets in order to optimize their returns. After a quick Google search, you would wonder why there isn't more content surrounding strategies and why these yield farmers are so tight-lipped about the greatest yield farming procedures.

Well, the answer is quite simple: the more people are informed about a strategy, the less effective it becomes. Yield farming is the lawless territory of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), where farmers compete for the opportunity to grow the highest-yield crops. 

As of November 2021, there is $269 billion in crypto assets locked in DeFi, gaining an impressive almost 27% in value compared to the previous month of October.

The DeFi yield farming rise shows that the excitement in the crypto market has extended far beyond community- and culture-based meme tokens and planted itself in the centre of the hype. What exactly does it take to be a yield farmer?

What kinds of yields can you anticipate? Where do you start If you're considering becoming a yield farmer?  Here, we'll guide you through everything you need to know.

What is Yield Farming? 

Also referred to as liquidity farming, yield farming is a method for generating profits using your cryptocurrency holdings instead of leaving them idle in an account on a crypto website. In a nutshell, it involves bidding cryptocurrency assets into platforms that offer lending and borrowing services and earning a reward for it.

Yield farming is similar to bank loans or bonds in that you must pay back the money with interest when the loan is due. Yield farming works the same way, but this time, the banks are replaced in this scenario by crypto holders like yourself in a decentralized environment. Yield farming is a form of cryptocurrency investment in which "idle cryptocurrencies" that would have otherwise been held on an exchange or hot wallet are utilized to provide liquidity in DeFi protocols in exchange for a return. 

Yield farming is not possible without liquidity pools or liquidity farming. But, what is a liquidity pool? It's basically a smart contract that contains funds. Liquidity pools are working with users called liquidity providers (LP) that add funds to liquidity pools. Find more information about liquidity pools, liquidity providers, and the automated market maker model below.

How Does Yield Farming Work?

Liquidity pools (smart contracts filled with cash) are used by yield farming platforms to offer trustless methods for crypto investors to make passive revenue by loaning out their funds or crypto using smart contracts.

Similar to how people create bonds to pay off a house and then pay the bank interest for the loan, users can tap into a decentralized loan pool to pay for the bonds.

Yield farming is a type of investment that involves the use of a liquidity provider and a liquidity pool in order to run a DeFi market. 

• A liquidity provider is a person or company who puts money into a smart contract.
• The liquidity pool is a smart contract filled with cash. 

Liquidity providers (LPs), also known as market makers, are in charge of staking funds in liquidity pools enabling sellers and purchasers to transact conveniently by executing a buyer-seller agreement utilizing smart contracts. LPs earn a reward for providing liquidity to the pool. Yield farming is based on liquidity providers and liquidity pools, which are the foundations of yield farming. These work by staking or lending crypto assets on DeFi protocols to earn incentives, interest or additional cryptocurrency. It's similar to how venture capital firms invest in high-yield equities, which is the practice of investing in equities that offer better long term results. 

Yield farmers will frequently shuffle their money between diverse protocols in search of high yields. For this reason, DeFi platforms may also use other economic incentives to entice more capital onto their platform as higher liquidity tends to attract more liquidity. The method of distribution of the rewards will be determined by the specific implementation of the protocol. By yield farming law, the liquidity providers get compensated for the amount of liquidity they contribute to the pool.

How Are Yield Farming Returns Calculated?

Estimated yield returns are calculated on an annualized model. This estimates the returns that you could expect throughout a year. The primary difference between them is that annual percentage rates (APR) don't consider compound interest, while annual percentage yield (APY) does. Compounding is the process of reinvesting current profits to achieve greater results (i.e. returns).  Most calculation models are simply estimates. It is difficult to accurately calculate returns on yield farming because it is a dynamic market and the rewards can fluctuate rapidly leading to a drop in profitability. The market is quite volatile and risky for both borrowers and lenders.

Before Getting Started, Understand The Risks Of Yield Farming

Despite the obvious potential benefits, yield farming has its challenges. Yield farming isn't easy. The most successful yield farming techniques are quite complex, recommended only to advanced users or experts who have done their research.

Here are the different risks: 

Smart contract

Smart contracts are computerized agreements that automatically implement the terms of the agreement between parties and predefined rules. Smart contracts remove intermediaries, are less expensive to operate and are a safer way to conduct transactions. However, they are vulnerable to attack vectors and bugs in the code.

Liquidation risks 

DeFi platforms, like traditional finance platforms, use customer deposits to create liquidity in their markets. However, if the collateral's value falls below the loan's price, you would be liquidated. Collateral is subject to volatility, and debt positions are vulnerable to under-collateralization in market fluctuations.

If you borrow XX collateralized by YY a rise in the value of XX would force the loan to be liquidated since the collateral YY value would be inferior to the value of the XX loan.

DeFi Rug Pulls

In most cases, rug pulls are obvious exit scams that are intended to entice investors with a well-manufactured promising project in order to attract investors. 

A crypto rug pull happens when developers create a token paired with a valuable cryptocurrency. When funds flow into the project and the price rises, developers then seize as much liquidity they can get their hands on resulting in losses for the investors left in. 

Impermanent loss

Impermanent loss happens when a liquidity provider deposits their crypto into a liquidity pool and the price changes within a few days. The amount of money lost as a result of that change is what is called an impermanent loss. This situation is counter-intuitive yet crucial for liquidity providers to comprehend.

Exercise Caution When Getting Into Yield Farming

If you have no prior knowledge of the cryptocurrency world, entering into the yield farming production may be a hazardous endeavour. You might lose everything you've put into the project. Yield farming is a fast-paced and volatile industry. If you want to venture into yield farming, make sure you don't put more money in than you can afford, there's a reason why the United Kingdom has recently implemented serious crypto regulations.

What The Future Holds For Yield Farming

We hope that after reading this article you will have a much deeper understanding of yield farming and that it answered some of your burning questions.

In summary, yield farming uses investors' funds to create liquidity in the market in exchange for returns. It has significant potential for growth, but it's not without its faults.

What else might the decentralized financial revolution have in store for us? It's difficult to anticipate what future applications may emerge based on these present components. However, trustless liquidity protocols and other DeFi technologies are driving finance, cryptoeconomics, and computer science forward.

Certainly, DeFi money markets have the ability to contribute to the development of a more open and inclusive financial system that is accessible to everyone with an Internet connection. 

You've likely come across the term "token" in your crypto ventures, or heard Bitcoin and Ethereum described as a token, but what does this all mean? In this article, we're breaking down what a token is, and how to distinguish a coin from a token and how it can be used as a tool to store value.

Token Definition

A token, in the cryptocurrency sense of the world, represents a particular asset or utility. It's worth noting in this item that tokens and cryptocurrencies are terms often used interchangeably however they technically differ. Tokens typically fall into one of the following three categories:

Payment tokens

These tokens allow users to purchase goods and services outside of the blockchain, offering an alternative currency. 

Security tokens

Similar to initial public offerings (IPOs) on the stock market, security tokens offer users an ownership stake or entitle the holder to dividends in a blockchain project. 

Utility tokens 

Utility tokens offer users access to a service within a particular ecosystem, similar to loyalty points on a Starbucks card. These points hold value within their own ecosystem but cannot be used outside of that. ‍

Coins vs Tokens

Getting more technical, when exploring coins vs tokens, tokens are categorised as crypto assets that have been built on top of another blockchain while coins are built on their own blockchain. 

Ether, for example, is the native token to the Ethereum blockchain, however, the platform allows developers to create a range of token standards on top of it. Based on this information, all ERC-20 tokens are therefore categorised as tokens as opposed to coins. 

USD Coin (USDC) and Tether (USDT) are therefore tokens as they are built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. While each network is operated by its own leadership, both use Ethereum's blockchain to facilitate all transactions.‍

How Are Tokens Traded?

Much like coins, tokens can be bought, sold and traded on exchanges, or sent directly from one wallet to another. This is facilitated by blockchain technology, in the same way that coins are transferred from one location to another. Unlike coins, which are all fungible in nature, tokens can sometimes be non-fungible, meaning that they are not identical in value and function. 

Tokens are sent using the wallet address of a recipient's blockchain-compatible wallet. The address is often represented by a barcode in the form of a QR code, or through a lengthy alphanumeric code. All transactions take place from the wallet holding the tokens and are sent directly to the wallet of the recipient without the need for a centralized authority like a bank. Tokens can typically be bought on exchanges, often with Visa or Mastercard, or exchanged between users.

How is an NFT Different from Cryptocurrency?

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are all different from each other as they each represent a real-world object, whether a digital piece of artwork or a bottle of fine wine. Bitcoin can be traded for anything around the world, whereas NFTs are unique in nature and while they hold value they cannot be used interchangeably. 

What Are NFTs Used For?

NFTs are used to represent a particular asset, whether it be physical or digital. When minted, these tokens will permanently represent that asset and cannot be changed. For example, one NFT could represent an apartment in London while another could represent a song by Kings of Leon. The possibilities are endless, and the marketplaces are huge.

Users can easily trade NFTs on marketplaces (through a website or mobile app) such as OpenSea or Rarible. Once you own an NFT you are credited with the ownership rights of the asset the NFT represents. Due to the nature of blockchain technology, this is permanently displayed on the network's public ledger for anyone to review. This process ensures that the ownership of an NFT cannot the changed and the information is available for anyone to credit.

Note that several blockchain networks currently support the minting of NFTs, and the holder will need a wallet specific to that blockchain in order to hold the NFT.

Are Tokens Regulated?

When it comes to regulation, countries around the world are currently drawing up legal frameworks to better implement cryptocurrencies into our current financial system. This includes the likes of tokens.

Once cryptocurrencies are regulated by government authorities, they could provide the world with unrealized use cases like being used to manage a prescription at a pharmacy or clinical services or to provide feedback to IT support. While there are plenty of tokens available on the market today, it's likely that this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of their potential to improve issues faced around the world.

Axie Infinity är ett blockkedjebaserat strids- och samlarsystem där spelare kan föda upp, strida med och handla digitala varelser kallade Axies. Inspirerat av Pokémon och Tamagotchi kombinerar Axie Infinity spelvärlden med blockkedjeteknik och de populära NFT:erna (icke-fungibla tokens).

I takt med att Tap lägger till nya kryptovalutor, har AXS tagits upp på grund av sin höga handelsvolym, engagerade community och starka spelupplevelse. Genom att kombinera avancerad teknik med spelmekanik står Axie Infinity i frontlinjen för nästa generations spelplattformar. Här nedan får du veta mer om denna decentraliserade innovation.

Vad är Axie Infinity (AXS)?

Axie Infinity bygger på Ethereum-blockkedjan och använder NFT:er för att representera unika spelkaraktärer, förmågor, markplättar och andra tillgångar i spelet. Spelare kan tjäna både Axie Infinity Shards (AXS) och Smooth Love Potions (SLP) under spelets gång.

Varje Axie har unika attribut, med över 500 möjliga kroppsdelar fördelade över olika klasser som exempelvis beast, bird, plant och aquatic – med allt från vanliga till legendariska sällsynthetsnivåer. Det gör Axies till eftertraktade tillgångar i spelet och de bygger på Ethereum-standarden för NFT:er.

Vem skapade Axie Infinity?

Axie Infinity grundades 2018 av Trung Nguyen och Aleksander Larsen, tillsammans med Viet Anh Ho. De arbetar genom spelstudion Sky Mavis i Vietnam, ett teknikfokuserat företag med stark inriktning på blockkedjespel.

Projektet har lockat investerare som Blocktower Capital och Mark Cuban, och lyckades i sin sista finansieringsrunda genom Binance Launchpad samla in nästan 3 miljoner USD.

Hur fungerar Axie Infinity?

I spelet strider spelare med sina Axies – NFT:er som är unika och som har olika attribut som påverkar deras förmåga i strid. Dessa attribut inkluderar hälsa, moral, skicklighet och snabbhet.

Axies delas in i olika klasser som Aquatic, Beast, Bird, Plant och Reptile samt specialklasser som Dawn, Dusk och Mech. Varje Axie har sex kroppsdelar (rygg, öron, ögon, horn, mun och svans), vilket påverkar deras egenskaper i spelet.

Axies kan också födas upp, där varje uppfödning kräver både AXS och SLP. En Axie kan födas upp maximalt sju gånger, med ökande kostnad i SLP för varje gång.

En annan aspekt av spelet är mark: spelare kan köpa och sälja virtuella hem till sina Axies – dessa kallas Lunacias. Det finns också en marknadsplats inom spelet där spelare kan köpa och sälja Axies och tillgångar.

Vad är Axie Infinity Shards (AXS)?

AXS är spelets styrningstoken och bygger på Ethereum-standarden ERC-721. Dessa tokens används inte bara i spelet, utan även för att ge innehavare möjlighet att påverka spelets framtid genom röstning. AXS kan också handlas på externa börser.

SLP används istället som en ren spelvaluta för att föda upp Axies. Både AXS och SLP har blivit populära även utanför spelvärlden.

Kan man tjäna något genom att spela Axie Infinity?

Axie Infinity är ett av de mest framstående spelen i den växande "play-to-earn"-ekonomin. Här är tre sätt som spelare kan tjäna belöningar på:

Sälja SLP

Genom att delta i strider (Arena Mode), spela uppdrag (Adventure Mode) eller slutföra dagliga uppgifter kan spelare tjäna SLP. Dessa kan sedan säljas på externa marknadsplatser.

Föda upp sällsynta Axies

Genom att föda upp unika kombinationer kan spelare skapa sällsynta Axies som kan säljas vidare på spelets marknadsplats. Vissa Axies har sålts för hundratusentals kronor.

AXS-staking

I framtiden kommer det att vara möjligt att "stakea" AXS – det vill säga låsa sina tokens i smarta kontrakt – för att få belöningar över tid.
