How to Buy

There are 2 ways you can buy UTD

  1. Buy UTD on Uniswap at market price and receive them immediately.

  2. Bond UTD on United DAO app at a discount and receive them after a vesting period of 5 days.

If you're trading during the peak time for a given market, expect slippage % to swing fairly dramatically. If you set your slippage tolerance too low, your transaction won't get confirmed because it keeps hitting outside your mark.

On the other hand, setting your slippage tolerance too high might leave you susceptible to paying more per token than you intended. The amount of slippage tolerance that's right for you is highly personal and depends on your larger strategy.

Something to keep in mind is if your slippage is set too low, it can cause repeated failed transactions that still eat your gas. So be mindful of ensuring your transaction works the first time — especially if the exchange is busy. The recommended slippage is 5% during peak periods and 2-3% during off peak periods.
