What Happens When a STON.fi Swap Can’t Meet Your Minimum Received?

When swapping tokens on STON.fi, two details matter: Estimated amount and Minimum received.

The estimated amount shows what you expect to receive, while Minimum received sets the lowest amount you're willing to accept based on your slippage settings.

What Happens When Prices Change?
Imagine your swap preview shows:
Estimated amount: 100 tokens
Minimum received: 98 tokens
If market conditions change and the swap can only deliver 96 tokens, it should fail or revert if the minimum-output condition is enforced, rather than execute below your accepted limit.

This can happen because of price movements or changes in liquidity while a transaction is being processed. Keep in mind that failed transactions may still incur network fees.
How Does Omniston Handle Cross-Chain Swaps?
Same-chain swaps and cross-chain swaps handle execution risks differently.

A same-chain swap uses Minimum received to enforce an output limit. Omniston coordinates cross-chain swaps through quotes and an atomic settlement model designed to ensure the exchange settles as a whole rather than completing on only one side.

The mechanisms differ, but both address risks that can arise during execution. Neither guarantees that every swap will succeed.
What Should You Check Before Swapping?
Before confirming a swap, review the estimated amount, Minimum received, slippage settings, and applicable fees.

A lower minimum allows more room for price changes but means you may accept a less favorable output. A stricter minimum offers more protection but can make the swap more likely to fail.

The takeaway: Always check your swap preview. Understanding Minimum received helps you know what output you're prepared to accept and what may happen if market conditions change.
