Zero Slippage
Slippage occurs when the price you receive differs from the price you expected. On AMMs, slippage is a mathematical certainty — every trade moves the bonding curve, making the next unit of the trade worse.
On HyperDex, slippage is structurally impossible. Here is why:
- →The maker quotes an exact
amount_outfor an exactamount_in - →This quote is cryptographically signed with the maker's ed25519 key
- →The
quote_verifiercontract verifies the signature and enforces the exact amounts - →If the amounts do not match the signed quote, the transaction reverts
The taker receives precisely what was quoted — not a basis point less. The maker absorbs all market risk between quote time and settlement.
