Accepting an offer ( taker )
When you are scanning through offers looking for something to buy, just click on “Details” to bring up all the information for that specific offer. On the “Trade details” screen, simply input the quantity you wish to purchase and, if the price setting is “Dynamic” fill out the “Price tolerance” field - see more below.
If there is no “Vesting” on the offer, once your purchase is complete, the asset you bought will arrive in your wallet. If there is “Vesting” you will need to go to the “Claims” tab which we explain below.
Price Tolerance
“Price tolerance” is basically slippage like you would see on Uniswap or other DEXs. Although there is no price slippage on Eve DeFi, the tolerance field is there so that if there is a price fluctuation in the time it takes the network to confirm your trade, your trade doesn´t just fail.
Tolerance is calculated as a percentage figure, so consider using a single-digit percentage between 1 & 5 (depending on how volatile the asset is) to avoid trade failure.
Note that ChainLink price data is much more stable than other forms of price data which constantly fluctuate by small (and sometimes large) percentages, therefore, it is unlikely that you will see an extreme amount of price fluctuation in the short amount of time it takes for your trade to go through; the “Tolerance” field is primarily there to reduce the potential of trade failure IF the price data updates right when you are making a trade. Claiming Tokens
All purchased tokens have to be claimed. Once your order is finished you need to head over the the “Claims” tab to find the tokens you purchased, click claim and the protocol will release them to your wallet.
