# Slippage

{% hint style="info" %}
Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price at which the trade is executed. It typically occurs during periods of high volatility or low liquidity. Generally, the higher it is, the faster your transaction is but the higher are the chances of getting your transaction sandwiched.

The guide below refers to BSC. The same logic applies to all supported blockchains, although buttons and available features may vary.
