Zero Slippage
Bolt's Zero Slippage
One of Bolt’s defining features is its ability to deliver zero-slippage execution. Unlike AMMs, where the execution price shifts with each trade depending on pool depth, Bolt ensures that users always trade at the verified CEX-like market price.
This is possible through a combination of:
Price Oracle with PoPE – The Oracle continuously validates market prices against CEXs and DEXs. Trades can only be settled if they align with these proofs.
Hedged Settlement – Market Makers instantly hedge each onchain trade on centralized venues. This ensures that the pool never bears directional risk, meaning prices don’t drift from market reality.
Pool Rebalancing – When pools become unbalanced, Market Makers restore alignment by depositing or withdrawing assets according to predefined rules, keeping liquidity stable and prices intact.
For users, this means guaranteed best-execution trades without the risks of price impact or slippage, no matter the size of the swap.
