Inherent to their structure, tokens aren't "misplaced" during a trade/swap. Users can preview the number of tokens they'll get prior to swapping or opening a position/creating an order. They can also tweak "slippage tolerance", adjust quantities to lessen the price impact, and decide on gas fees (which affect how quickly a transaction is processed). If the price shifts while your transaction is still in the queue and you end up receiving below the set minimum, the whole process will be canceled.
Nevertheless, funds can potentially be lost due to other reasons, such as:
Failed transaction: If a transaction doesn't have sufficient gas, the network is congested, or due to other reasons a transaction might fail but still consume the gas fee.
NOTE:You won’t lose all your assets, just the part needed to cover the network fee.
Front-Running: On some blockchains, attackers might see and preemptively copy a profitable transaction you're trying to make. However, DEXs usually have mechanisms to prevent such attacks.
NOTE:Front-running is independent from Primex. We can recommend using private mempools to decrease the risk of it.
Always double-check transaction details, and stay informed to minimize risks.
