## Swap Fees

When you swap tokens in a Botega liquidity pool, there is a 0.25% fee, depending on the specific pool you are interacting with. These fees are automatically distributed to the liquidity providers (LPs).

{% hint style="info" %}
Botega currently does not charge any fees; all fees are distributed back to LPs. (This may change in the future.)
{% endhint %}

## Slippage

Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a swap and its execution price.&#x20;

* Botega allows users to set their slippage tolerance, determining the maximum difference between the expected and execution prices.&#x20;
* If the slippage exceeds the user's chosen tolerance, the swap will not be executed.&#x20;
* Setting a high slippage tolerance may result in an unfavorable swap.

{% hint style="info" %}
The slippage is automatically set to auto, which is 0.5%. You can set the maximum slippage to your desired amount to disable auto.

## Price Impact

Price impact refers to the change in an asset's price due to the execution of a trade. This is especially relevant in decentralized exchanges (DEXs) or automated market makers (AMMs) due to their liquidity model.

Price Impact is influenced by the available liquidity to settle the trade and the size of the trade. For example, if you want to swap a large amount of one token for another in a liquidity pool, the larger your trade compared to the pool's size, the more significant the price impact will be. This is because the execution of your trade will shift the balance between the tokens in the pool which will directly affect the price according to the AMM's formula.

{% hint style="info" %}
To reduce price impact, we recommend that you split large trades into several smaller trades over time. You can execute this automatically using our [DCA](/products/platforms/botega/swap-assets-and-run-agents/dca-dollar-cost-averaging-agents.md) feature.&#x20;
