Firm (RFQ) execution
When a quote is filled through request-for-quote (RFQ), a professional market maker commits to a specific output amount for a short time. The minimum received equals the quoted amount: the trade either executes at that price or does not execute. For these quotes the interface shows Max slippage 0.00% · firm quote.
RFQ quotes carry an expiry set by the market maker and are typically shorter-lived than market quotes. If the quote expires before execution, the trade does not execute and a new quote is requested.
Market (AMM) execution
Quotes from onchain routing depend on pool liquidity at the moment of execution. These trades can experience price impact, slippage within the displayed tolerance, and quote changes. Their slippage tolerance is set automatically by the execution provider's real-time slippage estimator.
When is RFQ available?
Availability depends on whether market makers are quoting the specific pair and size at that moment. It cannot be guaranteed for any asset. Firm quotes may also be gasless, in which case the market maker pays the network fee.
