Zero Slippage

Definition

Zero slippage describes an ideal trading condition where the executed price of an asset precisely matches the expected price at the time an order is placed. This means there is no deviation between the quoted price and the final transaction price, which is particularly important for large orders or volatile markets. It indicates deep liquidity and efficient market execution, preventing unexpected costs for traders. Achieving this state is a goal for many decentralized exchange designs.
