What Is a Limit Order?
A limit order lets you set a specific price to buy or sell an asset. Unlike instant swaps (where you accept available market prices), limit orders allow you to:
- Avoid slippage
- Lock in preferred rates
- Trade passively (no constant market watch)
"Limit orders turn you into a liquidity provider—setting prices instead of taking them."
Key Benefits:
✔ No gas fees to create
✔ Zero slippage on execution
✔ Free to set up
