# How to use the price slippage function?

This feature automatically helps you buy tokens at the best available price - no manual setup required. It is enabled by default with a 5% slippage limit.

During the construction phase, token prices rise very quickly because early entry offers the highest ROI. When sales open, demand is extremely high and tokens often sell out within minutes. This rapid price movement means that investors who want to buy at the expected price may need to increase slippage to avoid failed purchases during peak demand.

Instead of losing your spot or having the transaction fail, the system adjusts your purchase within the allowed slippage range so you can successfully secure tokens while prices are still low.

How does it work?

In the past, if multiple users tried to buy tokens at the same price, only one transaction would succeed. The rest would fail, showing an error. This was especially common during high-demand presales, when many people tried to invest at once.

Now, thanks to Smart Slippage, your investment will still go through, even if the token price changes slightly (up to 5%) while your transaction is being processed (which can take 1–2 minutes).

If the price shifts by 1%, 2%, or even 5% during that window, the system automatically adjusts and completes your purchase at the best possible price, avoiding errors and delays.

✅ **Important:** This doesn’t mean your token price will increase by 5%. In many cases, it won’t change at all. It simply ensures your transaction is successful, even under high load.

If you're buying during a presale launch, we recommend keeping the default 5% slippage. You can also lower it to 1%, 2%, or 3% if you prefer tighter control.
