Buying and selling

How trades settle on Uniswap v4, slippage, and price impact.

How a trade settles

Every Arklis token has its own Uniswap v4 pool against USDC (Arc) or ETH (Robinhood Chain). When you buy, USDC or ETH goes into the pool and tokens come out; selling is the reverse. The price moves with each trade, and the pool is always open: there is no curve to fill and no migration step.

Because the pool is a standard Uniswap v4 pool, the same token can also be traded through wallets and aggregators that route through Uniswap. The same fee applies wherever the trade comes from.

Slippage and price impact

Price impact is how far your own trade moves the price. Large trades in a new pool move it more. The trade panel shows the estimate before you confirm.

Slippage tolerance is the worst result you accept if other trades land first. If the price moves past it, the trade is cancelled and only gas is spent. You can change it in trade settings.

Callouts

A callout is a post that recommends a token. When you buy or sell from someone's callout, 30% of the protocol's share of that fee goes to the callout author. Your cost does not change.

If a trade fails

The usual causes are slippage, a balance too small for the amount plus gas, or a stale quote. Refresh the quote and try again. A failed trade never moves your tokens or funds; only gas is spent. For what is fixed on-chain, see Safety and trust.
