Limit Orders

Limit Orders allow you to set specific price targets for your trades, ensuring you get exactly the rate you want—without needing to actively monitor the market. Orders are placed gaslessly via signed EIP-712 messages and support single-token input and output. An order is filled automatically once Odos finds a route that meets both conditions:

  • It delivers the exact output amount specified
  • It covers the gas cost of the transaction

You’ll always receive the precise output amount defined in the limit order once it is filled—no surprises, no slippage.

What Makes Limit Orders Special?​

Execute at Your Price​

Take control of your trades by setting the exact price you want. Your order only executes if the market hits your specified price, ensuring precision without constant monitoring.

Automated Trading​

Let your trades work while you’re away. Limit Orders run automatically on-chain, executing when the market meets your conditions—even if you’re offline.

No Slippage Risk​

Worried about slippage? Limit Orders are immune to price changes. Your trade will only execute at your desired price or better, protecting you from unexpected market swings.

Earn While You Wait​

Earn passive rewards while your order is active. With Limit Orders on certain tokens, your funds remain in yield-generating protocols until the trade executes, maximizing potential returns.

Advanced Trading Strategies​

Build sophisticated trading strategies with ease. Use Limit Orders to set entries, take profits, or hedge risks—all while maintaining full control of your assets.
