Bridge Slippage and Minimum Received Explained on Gnosis
Understand price impact, slippage, and minimum received amounts in cross-chain transactions.
Why this matters on Gnosis
Slippage is about execution price, while minimum received is the protection shown to the user. Understanding both helps avoid surprises in volatile or low-liquidity routes.
Gnosis provides an EVM-compatible environment with its own network balances and application ecosystem.
Gnosis uses EVM-style addresses and token contracts, which means the same address can hold balances on several EVM networks at once. A balance that is missing on Gnosis may simply be sitting on a different network.
Gnosis: what to pay attention to
- Costs: Compare transaction costs with bridge and destination costs.
- Security: Review approvals and transaction details before signing.
- Assets and tokens: Verify the token contract on Gnosis.
A Gnosis checklist for this topic
- Confirm both the source and destination network, including whether Gnosis is one of them.
- Compare the quote, the minimum received amount and the total fees before signing.
- Check that the token you hold on Gnosis is supported for the route you are considering.
- Allow for a delay between sending and receiving; do not repeat a transfer while one is pending.
