Swap

⚙️ Slippage Tolerance

Your price protection. Sets the max price change you'll accept between clicking "Swap" and execution.

Example: Swapping for 1,000 USDC with 0.5% slippage = you get at least 995 USDC. More movement = transaction fails (protecting you).
Recommended:
• 0.1-0.5% → Stablecoins & majors
• 1-3% → Volatile tokens
• 5%+ → Only if swap keeps failing

📍 Position Status

In Range = The current price is within your selected range. You're earning fees on every swap!

Out of Range = Price moved outside your range. You're NOT earning fees until it returns.

Tighter ranges = more fees when in range, but higher risk of going out of range.

💰 Current Price

The live market price of ETH in USDC. This price is constantly moving based on supply and demand.

In concentrated liquidity, your position's value and composition changes with every price movement.

Your Liquidity Range
Min: $2,800
Max: $3,600

📊 Your Price Range

The purple zone is where you've concentrated your liquidity.

The yellow marker shows the current price.

Key insight: Your capital only works when the price is inside your range. Narrower range = more capital efficiency but higher risk of going out of range.

💎 Position Value

The total current value of your LP position in USD.

This changes based on:

• Price movement of ETH
• Fees earned
• Impermanent loss

Above your range? You're 100% USDC and value stops growing with ETH price.
Fees Earned

💸 Fees Earned

Your share of trading fees from swaps that happen within your range.

You only earn fees when in range. Out of range = $0 fees.

Concentrated liquidity can earn 4-10x more fees than full-range positions!
Impermanent Loss

📉 Impermanent Loss (IL)

The difference between holding your tokens vs providing liquidity.

When price moves away from your entry, you experience IL. It's "impermanent" because it reverses if price returns.

With concentrated liquidity, IL is amplified! Tighter ranges = more IL when price moves. But also more fees to offset it.

Fees − IL
?

📊 Net Profit/Loss

Your actual profit: Fees Earned minus Impermanent Loss.

This is what really matters! Positive = you're winning. Negative = IL is eating your fees.

Goal: Earn more in fees than you lose to IL.
Position Composition

⚖️ Token Composition

How your position is split between ETH and USDC.

As price moves up: You hold more USDC, less ETH (you're "selling" ETH)

As price moves down: You hold more ETH, less USDC (you're "buying" ETH)

This automatic rebalancing is what causes impermanent loss — but it's also how you earn fees!
