Zero Slippage

Learn about slippage, Bolt Liquidity's unique 'zero slippage' offering and how it's achieved via Bolt's price oracle.

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
