What Causes High Price Impact on STON.fi Swaps?

High price impact on STON.fi means your order is large enough relative to available liquidity that the trade itself moves the rate against you as it consumes depth.

🔥 Trade size vs liquidity depth

- Absolute size tells almost nothing; the ratio to executable liquidity is everything.
- STON.fi AMM pools change the exchange rate the moment reserves shift.
- A small order stays close to spot while a large one travels far down the curve.

🚀 Why pools and routes amplify the effect

- Shallow or recently imbalanced pools leave less usable depth near current prices.
- Limited route liquidity forces the swap through thinner sources.
- Multiple steps can stack price movement across the path.
- Sudden withdrawals or market activity can leave even less depth for the next quote.

🧠 Omniston helps but cannot invent liquidity

STON.fi enables Omniston by default so routing can compare AMM pools and RFQ sources. Better routes can reduce impact when deeper liquidity exists elsewhere, yet they still cannot create depth that is missing across all sources.

💬 Practical checks before you sign

1. Drop the input amount and request a fresh quote.
2. Compare expected output tokens across sizes.
3. Inspect the final route and minimum received.
4. Verify the exact jetton to avoid low-liquidity look-alikes.

High price impact is the market telling you the order is pressing hard on available liquidity. Smaller size almost always reveals whether depth is the real limit.
