Limit Orders

What are Limit Orders

Limit Orders allow you to place orders and execute swaps at your desired price instead of swapping immediately at the current Market Price. This allows for efficient and precise swaps at your desired price with automated execution.

Kodiak integrates with Orbs protocol to bring you automated limit order execution with simple steps. You can find more information about Orbs protocol here.

For Limit Orders to work, you must pre approve your tokens and maintain enough token balance in the wallet to facilitate pending limit orders.

A 17 BPS fee is applicable to faciliate your trades and is taken from the output token.

To Place limit orders navigate to Swap Page

• Token to sell - Select the input token from token list to sell and enter amount
