Understanding Your Transaction

When you buy or sell a token on Firestarter, you'll see a confirmation window with a breakdown of your transaction. Here’s a simple guide to what each term means:

• Exchange Rate: This is the price of the token you are buying, expressed in the currency you are paying with. For example, "1 $ANLOG = 0.01 GOTHS" means you will receive 0.01 GOTHS for every 1 $ANLOG you spend.

• Platform Fee: Firestarter charges a small fee on each transaction to support the platform's operations and development. This fee is a percentage of the total transaction amount. For more details, check out "Fee Structure."

• Slippage: Slippage is a small price change that can occur between the time you submit your transaction and the time it is confirmed on the blockchain. The slippage tolerance is a setting that protects you from large, unexpected price swings. If the price changes by more than your set tolerance, your transaction will be cancelled.

• Network Cost (Gas Fee): This is a small fee paid to the blockchain network (e.g., Base) to process your transaction. Firestarter does not receive any of this fee.
