Last night I stepped into a pit again: I wanted to take advantage of the pool's returns and shift some positions to farm, but one swap taught me a lesson in slippage. I clearly set it at 0.5%, but the depth was too thin, and I split the order into two parts. During the second attempt, the price was pushed away by myself and others, and when I saw the transaction, I felt completely deflated.

Actually, the timing of placing orders is more important than I thought. If the depth isn't enough, don't force it. It's better to split the orders into smaller parts, wait a bit, or simply switch to a pool with thicker liquidity. To put it plainly, slippage isn't "transaction fee"; it's you competing with the market for position.

Recently, everyone has been comparing RWA, US bond yields, and on-chain yield products. I’ve looked into it for a while. Anyway, whether the on-chain yields are high or low, the most overlooked aspect is whether you can smoothly enter and exit. If you can't get in or out easily, it's very awkward. Today, I’ll add that pool to my warning list, so next time I’ll be a bit less impulsive.
