How Slicr Works
When you trade a large amount in one transaction, the price moves against you — this is called price impact or slippage. Slicr solves this by splitting your order into smaller “slices” and executing them gradually over a period of time you choose.
Each slice is executed at the current market price at that moment, so your total execution price is the average of all those prices — a true time-weighted average price (TWAP).
You set the number of slices and the total duration. Slicr handles the rest automatically on-chain.
Slicr Order
The core product. Choose the number of slices (2–100) and a total duration (1 hour to 7 days). Each slice is executed at equal time intervals. Best for large trades where you want to minimise price impact.
Optional: Set a price limit range — slices will only execute if the price is within your min/max bounds.
DCA Order
Automatically buy a fixed amount of a token at a recurring interval (e.g. every hour, every day). Set the amount per period and the number of periods. Ideal for long-term accumulation strategies.
Limit Order
Like a Slicr order but with a mandatory price range. Slices only execute when the market price falls within your specified minimum and maximum. Slices outside the range are skipped and retried at the next interval — so your full order can still complete, just over a longer period.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TWAP order?
TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) splits a large swap into smaller equal-sized trades executed at regular intervals over a set duration. This reduces market impact and averages your execution price across time.
What is a Slicr order?
A Slicr order is our core TWAP product. You choose how many slices and a total duration, and the protocol automatically executes each slice at the calculated interval. This helps avoid front-running and reduces slippage on large trades.
What is a DCA order?
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) lets you buy a token at a fixed recurring amount and frequency — for example, $100 of SOL every week for 10 weeks. DCA smooths out entry price over time.
What is a Limit order?
A Limit order combines TWAP with a price range. Slices only execute when the market price is within your specified min/max range. Slices skipped due to price conditions are retried at the next interval.
Why is the pool depth section collapsed?
Pool depth is informational and collapsed by default to keep the most important order fields visible. Click the "Pool Depth" row to expand and see available liquidity across fee tiers.
What does "% of pool" mean in pool depth?
This shows what percentage of the total available liquidity your order represents. A higher percentage means your trade could have more market impact. Orders under 5% typically have low impact.
Why does the Buy field show ↓ and ↑ values?
These are the worst-case and best-case expected output amounts based on estimated price volatility over your order duration. The center value (~) is the expected output.
Which chains are supported?
Slicr currently supports Base (EVM) and Solana. Switch between chains using the chain selector in the top navigation bar.
Which wallets are supported?
On Base: MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect, and any injected wallet. On Solana: Phantom and Solflare.
What fees does Slicr charge?
Slicr charges a small protocol fee (typically 0.40% of the total trade amount). The exact fee is shown in the Fee Summary section before you confirm your order.
Can I cancel an active order?
Yes. Open orders can be cancelled or paused from the "My Orders" list. Any remaining unexecuted slices will not be traded after cancellation.
What happens if a slice fails?
The protocol retries failed slices at the next interval. If the price is outside your limit range, the slice is skipped and retried later.
