Price impact and asset value
'Price impact' is the change in token's price directly caused by your trade. Price impact is calculated as the difference between the current market price and the price resulting from your trade, considering the total liquidity in the pool. The price impact you experience depends on the exchange route and the size of the liquidity pool(s) involved.
At DeDust.io, for user convenience, besides the direct/reverse exchange rate of two tokens (shown in Rate), both assets value is also displayed in USD ($).
The difference between your current asset value and the expected value after the swap (both expressed in $) is always shown in brackets next to the expected asset amount and its $ value.
For clarity, the impact on your asset value is color-coded:
Green – when the value of the received asset increases compared to the current value.
No color – when the estimated loss in value is 3% or less.
Orange – when the estimated loss in value is between 3% and 5%.
Red – when the estimated loss in value exceeds 5%.
⚠️ Without Expert mode activated, price impact is limited to 15%. If the difference exceeds this limit, you will receive a warning message, and the "Swap" button will be disabled until the price conditions improve.
