In crypto, there are words that scare more than 'regulation'. One of them is slippage. It's like 'the fear of losing more than you planned', only it also comes wrapped in a graph.
In classic DEXes you enter 'I want 100 TON' — and receive 97.2.
Because while your deal reaches the blockchain — the price has already run a marathon.

🧨 What is slippage?
Slippage is when the rate you see during a swap does not match what you will get.
This is not a bug — it's a 'feature' of AMM mechanics.
It's all because any action you take changes the state of the pool. Change a lot — the price changes. And even if you thought everything was clear — in reality, you just donated 2-3% to the protocol without thanks.

⚰️ And what does STON do?
STON.fi simply says:
> 'The price is fixed. Take it or leave it.'
And this is not a joke. Because they operate through RFQ, where quotes are sent to the deal, not determined at the moment.
If you agree — the price is yours. If you changed your mind — no one is forcing you.
No slippage. No surprises. No 'oops'.

🤯 And why is this important?
Because in DeFi you don’t just trade. You plan, calculate, choose the moment.
And if you lose 1-3% from each deal — that's not trading, it's gambling.
STON says:
> 'DeFi should be predictable. And we have implemented that.'

🧠 Conclusion:
STON.fi didn't invent anti-gravity, but it removed the dumbest bug of the AMM era.
Slippage is the past.
Fixed price is the future.
STON.fi is the present.
