Swapping
Trade tokens on Orbit Finance. Here’s how it works.
How to swap
- Go to markets.cipherlabsx.com
- Connect your wallet
- Pick your input token and amount
- Pick the output token
- Check the quote (price, fees, estimated output)
- Confirm and sign
What happens under the hood
Your trade moves through the pool’s price bins one at a time:
Each bin charges fees as the swap passes through. More bins crossed = slightly more fees total, but for normal-sized trades it’s negligible.
Price impact
Bigger swaps cross more bins, and each bin is at a slightly different price. So your average execution price gets worse as the trade gets larger.
The UI shows estimated price impact before you confirm. For large trades, splitting into smaller swaps gives you better overall execution.
Slippage protection
You can set a max slippage tolerance. If price moves beyond your limit while the transaction is processing, it reverts and you keep your tokens.
| Market conditions | Suggested slippage |
|---|---|
| Stable, liquid pair | 0.5% |
| Normal volatility | 1% |
| Volatile or thin liquidity | 2-3% |
Where fees go
Every swap generates fees that get split:
50% to LPs
Goes directly to the liquidity providers whose bins you traded through. Auto-compounds into their position.
50% ecosystem share
Split between $CIPHER stakers (75%), NFT holders (15%), and the DAO (10%). Distributed weekly in USDC.
Every trade you make feeds the ecosystem. Stakers and NFT holders earn from your swaps.
Jupiter routing
Orbit Finance is being integrated with Jupiter, Solana’s main swap aggregator. Once live, any swap on Solana that routes through our pools generates fees automatically. That means more volume and more rewards for the community without anyone having to come to our frontend directly.
Every swap pays stakers
Stake $CIPHER and earn your share of fees from every trade across all pools. At $50K daily volume, stakers split $2,625/week in USDC.
