Just checked my failed swap from last night, and it’s pretty embarrassing: I thought I set enough slippage, but the pool depth was too shallow, and someone ate up the liquidity in one go. When I tried to re-enter, I got stuck with a “price deviation too large” error. Honestly, it’s not network congestion; I was just rushing my order, seeing similar trades in the mempool stacking up, and kept pushing forward, getting caught in a trap.



From now on, I’ll be honest with myself: check the depth first, then talk about slippage; split the orders more slowly, and if necessary, just give up—losing a few seconds isn’t worth it. By the way, I understand why those on-chain data tools/tags are often criticized for being laggy; if someone really wants to mislead you, a half-second delay in tags is enough… Anyway, don’t treat “tags = the truth” as a talisman.

I still believe that even the oldest tricks in the market, someone will always learn to avoid them.
