Trade $WLFI

The Trade feature enables you to convert WLFI governance tokens and stablecoins on Uniswap by accessing the World Liberty Financial platform. Provided by Uniswap V3 liquidity pools, Trade provides access efficient token transacting with optimal routing and competitive rates.

Overview

Trade is designed specifically for transacting between WLFI and stable assets. Rather than navigating to external decentralized exchanges, you can seamlessly trade your tokens within the WLFI ecosystem.

Key features

• Direct WLFI Trade: Easily convert between WLFI and stablecoins

• Optimal Routing: Provided by Uniswap's Smart Order Router to find the best prices

• Configurable Slippage: Adjust slippage tolerance to your preference

• Real-Time Quotes: See exchange rates and output amounts before confirming

• Price Impact Warnings: Get alerts when trades may significantly move the market

Supported tokens

Trade supports converting between the following tokens on Ethereum Mainnet:

Token	Type	Description
WLFI	Governance Token	World Liberty Financial governance token
USD1	Stablecoin	World Liberty Financial's native stablecoin
USDC	Stablecoin	USD Coin by Circle
USDT	Stablecoin	Tether USD

Token Pairs

Trade enforces specific token pair rules to ensure liquidity and optimal trading:

If You Sell	You Can Buy
WLFI	USD1, USDC, or USDT
USD1	WLFI
USDC	WLFI
USDT	WLFI

Direct transactions between stablecoins (e.g., USD1 to USDC) are not supported through Trade. WLFI must be on one side of every trade.

How it works

Trade uses Uniswap V3 under the hood, which is a decentralized exchange protocol on Ethereum. Here's what happens when you make a trade:

1. Route Discovery: The Uniswap Smart Order Router analyzes available liquidity pools to find the optimal path for your trade

2. Quote Generation: You receive a real-time quote showing the expected output amount

3. Token Approval: If this is your first time trading one token for another, you'll need to approve the spend

4. Trade Execution: The trade is executed on-chain through Uniswap's smart contracts

5. Token Receipt: You receive your tokens in your wallet

Smart order routing

Uniswap's Smart Order Router automatically finds the best price by:

• Splitting trades across multiple pools when beneficial

• Routing through intermediate tokens if it results in better rates

• Optimizing for the lowest price impact

How to trade $WLFI

Step 1: Connect your wallet

Connect a wallet that supports Ethereum Mainnet. Ensure you have:

• The tokens you want to trade

• Sufficient ETH for gas fees

Step 2: Select tokens

1. You Sell: Choose the token you want to trade

2. You Receive: The available output tokens will be shown based on your input selection

Use the convert button (↕) to quickly reverse the input and output tokens.

Step 3: Enter amount

Enter the amount you want to trade. The interface will show:

• The USD value of your input

• The estimated output amount

• The USD value of the output

Click "Set max" to trade your entire balance of the selected token.

Step 4: Review trade details

Before confirming, review the following information:

Detail	Description
Exchange rate	The current rate between the two tokens
Slippage	Maximum price movement you'll accept
Price impact	How much your trade affects the market price
Routes	The path your trade takes through liquidity pools
Min. received	The minimum tokens you'll receive after slippage
Gas fee	Estimated network fee for the transaction

You can click on the Routes row to see a detailed breakdown of how your trade will be routed through the liquidity pools.

Step 5: Approve and confirm

WLFI Risk Disclosures

1. Agree to terms: Review and accept the WLFI Token Use and Acquisition Terms & Conditions

2. Token approval (first time only): Approve the Uniswap router to spend your tokens

3. Confirm trade: Review the final details and confirm the transaction in your wallet

Step 6: Track your trade

After confirming, you can track your transaction in the Activity section. Trades typically complete within a few seconds to a minute, depending on network congestion.

Settings

Slippage tolerance

Slippage is the difference between the expected price and the actual execution price. You can configure your slippage tolerance in the settings:

Slippage Level	Description
Auto (5.5%)	Recommended default setting
Custom	Set your own tolerance (0.1% - 50%)

Low slippage (< 1%): Your transaction may fail if prices move slightly.

High slippage (> 10%): You may receive significantly fewer tokens than quoted. The interface will warn you about high slippage settings.

Transaction deadline

The deadline sets how long your transaction remains valid. If the trade isn't executed within this time, it will automatically cancel.

• Default: 30 minutes

• Custom: Set your preferred deadline

Understanding price impact

Price impact measures how much your trade will move the market price. It occurs because trades affect the balance of tokens in liquidity pools.

Price Impact	Indication
< 1%	Minimal impact, good liquidity
1% - 5%	Moderate impact, acceptable for most trades
5% - 10%	High impact, consider splitting the trade
> 10%	Very high impact, warning displayed

If the price impact exceeds 10%, the interface will display a warning. Consider:

• Reducing your trade size

• Splitting into multiple smaller trades

• Waiting for better liquidity conditions

Fees

Gas fees

All transactions require Ethereum gas fees paid in ETH. Gas costs vary based on:

• Network congestion

• Transaction complexity (number of routes/pools used)

The interface displays an estimated gas fee before you confirm.

Transactions fees

Uniswap V3 pools charge a fee on each transaction, typically:

• 0.3% for most pairs

• 0.05% or 1% for some pools depending on the pair

These fees are built into the quoted price you see.

Troubleshooting

Transaction failed

Common reasons for failed transactions:

• Slippage exceeded: The price moved beyond your tolerance. Try increasing slippage.

• Insufficient gas: Ensure you have enough ETH for gas fees.

• Token approval expired: Re-approve the token spend.

No route found

If no route is found:

• The amount may be too small or too large

• Liquidity may be temporarily low

• Try a slightly different amount

High price impact warning

If you see a high price impact warning:

• Your trade size is large relative to available liquidity

• Consider breaking into smaller trades

• Wait for more liquidity to enter the pools

Wrong Network

Trade only works on Ethereum Mainnet. If you're on a different network, you'll be prompted to switch.

Security considerations

Smart contract security

Trade uses Uniswap V3's audited and battle-tested smart contracts. Uniswap is one of the most widely used and trusted DeFi protocols.

User verification

World Liberty Financial implements user verification to ensure compliance. If your account is flagged or blocked, you won't be able to use the Trade feature.

Approval best practices

When approving tokens:

• Only approve the amount you intend to trade, or

• Revoke approvals after trading if you prefer maximum security
