# Trade Settings

> Configure slippage, priority fees, and MEV protection.

<Info>
  **Trade settings control how your transactions are executed.**

  Adjust these based on market conditions and your trading needs.
</Info>

## Slippage Tolerance

Slippage is the difference between the expected price and the actual execution price.

<Note>
  Higher slippage increases the chance your trade executes but may result in a worse price. Lower slippage protects your price but the trade may fail if the market moves.
</Note>

## Priority Fee

Priority fees incentivize validators to include your transaction faster. During network congestion, higher fees help ensure execution.

* **Solana**: Priority fee is set in SOL. Increase it during congestion to improve confirmation speed.
* **EVM chains (Base, BSC, Monad)**: Priority fee is set in gwei. This works the same way — a higher gwei value means faster transaction inclusion.

## Anti-MEV Protection

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to profit extracted by reordering transactions. Sandwich attacks are a common form where attackers front-run and back-run your trade to profit from the price movement.

* **Enabled**: Transactions are routed to protect against sandwich attacks
* **Disabled**: Standard transaction routing

## Auto Mode

Use Auto mode if you don't want to configure your own settings.
