Imagine: you want to swap 100,000 USDC for ETH. You go to a regular DEX, see the current price 1 ETH = 2,500 USDC, and think: "Great, I'll get 40 ETH!" You click «Swap»... and receive only 38.2 ETH.
Imagine this scenario: you see on screen that swapping 10,000 USDC will get you 8.234 ETH. You click the «Swap» button, wait for the transaction to confirm… and you receive only 8.156 ETH. Where did the other 0.078 ETH ($196) go?
