# What is slippage tolerance? How can I adjust it when swapping?

## What is slippage tolerance? <a href="#what-is-slippage-tolerance" id="what-is-slippage-tolerance"></a>

**Slippage Tolerance** is the pricing difference between the price at the confirmation time and the actual price of the transaction users are willing to accept when swapping on AMMs. Slippage tolerance is set as a percentage of the total swap value.

In the case of volatile markets or low-liquidity pools, users can complete the transactions faster and avoid failures by accepting a higher slippage and slippage tolerance percentage.

## How can I adjust it when swapping? <a href="#how-can-i-adjust-it-when-swapping" id="how-can-i-adjust-it-when-swapping"></a>

The default Slippage on BaryonSwap is set at the standard rate of 0.5%, which is quite safe and applicable to most coins on the market. If you want to change this rate, follow these 2 steps:

**Step 1:** In the **Swap** interface, select the **Settings icon.**

**Step 2:** Select the appropriate **Slippage Tolerance**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.baryon.network/product/faqs/slippage-tolerance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
