Exchange version change

One of the most successful methods to fix this error is to use other versions of exchanges. You may ask, how many versions does a decentralized exchange have?

Reduce the amount of purchases and break down transactions

Sometimes some cryptocurrencies can be bought in very small amounts of dollars because of their very low price. To solve this problem, we can reduce the number of assets we intend to trade and buy or sell the desired amount in a few transactions.

Price slippage tolerance increase

To trade cryptocurrencies in decentralized exchanges such as PancakeSwap, when faced with Price Impact Too High error, changing the price slippage to complete the transaction can be the solution.

What is price impact?

---

The Price Impact mechanism causes the purchase or sale price of an asset in a decentralized exchange to be inversely related to its value.

For example, if a person wants to buy a token which has $1 price, the exchange will consider the price of $1, but if they want to buy 20% of the supply of liquidity for that token, the exchange with the Price Impact mechanism will raise the price much higher. Hence there is no economic justification for the whale to do this transaction and abandons its transaction.

The same mechanism applies to the sale of tokens, and the selling price of 1 token is different from 1000 tokens and it depends on the amount of token supply and the supply of pools providing liquidity to the exchanges.

In short, the Price Impact mechanism is created to deal with the behavior of whales in buying or selling large quantities of tokens and changes the price according to the order quantity.
