# Slippage

Slippage on Solana refers to the difference between the expected and executed price of a trade due to rapid price movements or low liquidity, often caused by network congestion or large order sizes.

You may pay more, or get fewer tokens because of slippage.

Higher slippage (30% and above) is required for lower liquidity tokens.

Lower slippage (30% and below) can be used for higher liquidity tokens.

The higher the slippage, the higher the chance that your trade gets executed, but the worse the potential entry could be.
