MINIMUM RECEIVED, THE NUMBER YOU SHOULD CHECK BEFORE SWAPPING
Imagine your swap shows that you should receive 500 tokens. You confirm the transaction, but the market moves before settlement. What protects you from receiving substantially less?
The answer is the minimum received amount.
A swap does not always settle at exactly the number shown when you first open the transaction. Market prices can change between the quote and execution.
Minimum received establishes the lowest amount you are willing to accept.
For example, if your transaction allows a minimum received amount of 495 tokens, the swap should not complete if the executable result falls below that threshold. Instead, the transaction can fail rather than giving you an unacceptable result.
This is particularly important during volatile markets, when prices can change quickly.
It is also useful to understand what minimum received does not protect you from. It does not make a bad price good. It simply establishes a floor for the amount you will accept.
That means you should still inspect the quote before confirming.
Look at the amount you will receive. Check the price impact. Check the minimum received. Then decide whether the transaction still makes sense.
A few seconds of checking these figures can prevent an unpleasant surprise after settlement.
Before your next swap, do not look only at the token you are sending. Look carefully at the token you are actually going to receive.
