Ethereum swap quote lifecycle

Unofficial educational resource • For official app and docs: sushi.com • docs

Why quotes change

A swap quote is a snapshot of current liquidity and prices. On Ethereum, it can change between blocks as pools update.

What “expected output” means

It is the estimated amount before protections like minimum received. It can differ from the final amount if prices move.

Practical tips

• Compare routes if the UI shows them.
• Avoid tiny liquidity pairs for large trades.
• Re-quote before confirming when markets are volatile.
