There is a moment that catches most new DEX users off guard. You see an estimated output before confirming. A slightly different number arrives after settlement. Nothing went wrong but nobody explained why those two numbers are rarely identical.
A STONfi swap involves four different price values, each describing a different moment in the same trade.
SPOT PRICE
Spot price is the current ratio between the two assets in the pool. It tells you where the pool sits right now but does not account for your trade size, the 0.3% swap fee, or the price impact your transaction creates by shifting the pool reserves.
It is the baseline before your trade touches anything.
QUOTED PRICE
The quote factors in your specific amount, the pool's liquidity depth, and fees. It gives a much more accurate picture of what you should receive.
But it is still an estimate. On TON, another transaction can settle between the moment you receive your quote and the moment your swap executes, shifting the pool reserves before yours arrives.
MINIMUM OUTPUT
This is your boundary. Minimum output comes from your slippage tolerance setting and defines the lowest amount you are willing to accept. If pool conditions have moved enough that execution cannot meet that floor, the swap fails and your funds return automatically rather than settling at a worse result.
Set it too tight and normal market movement causes failures. Set it too wide and you reduce the protection the limit is there to provide.
FINAL OUTPUT
Final output is the actual number that reaches your wallet. It reflects real execution against real pool conditions at that exact moment not an estimate and not a projection.
The difference between your quoted amount and final output does not mean something went wrong. It reflects pool movement between quote and execution. What matters is whether the final result stayed above the minimum you accepted. $BTC $XRP #altcoins #AltSeasonComing #Macro #Insights #btc price analysis
