How to sell large amounts of DEGEN without crashing the price
Selling $50,000 of DEGEN in a single swap currently loses about 24.8% to price impact. Slicr captures most of that back — a median +32.9% improvement over the instant swap, about $11,280 more in your wallet on a $50K order — by splitting the sale into time-weighted slices and letting the pool recover between them.
Why instant swaps cost you on DEGEN
DEGEN trades against a pool with a median active depth of around $175,000. When you submit a $50K market sell, the AMM has to walk the curve a long way to fill your order. The further it walks, the worse your price gets — and the difference is what you “lose” to price impact.
Across 4,184,612 DEGEN swaps we analyzed on Base, instant sellers collectively left an estimated $103M on the table. The pool recovers within minutes after each large swap — sellers just don't wait for that recovery.
What Slicr does differently
Slicr deposits your DEGEN into a non-custodial on-chain vault and executes the sale in smaller slices over a duration you choose. Between slices, the pool replenishes from arbitrage flow and natural buy pressure, so each subsequent slice gets a price closer to the mid-market.
Every slice enforces on-chain minPrice and maxPrice guards. A bot can't sandwich a slice that would print worse than your guard — the transaction reverts. You can cancel the order and withdraw the unfilled balance at any time; Slicr never takes custody.
