When performing a swap on Quipuswap, slippage is used to protect users from price fluctuations. Slippage is a configuration set in the platform's settings, and it determines the maximum amount of difference in the exchange rate that a user is willing to accept. If the difference between the current exchange rate and the rate at the time of the trade is more than the configured slippage, then the trade will fail. When using multiple pools in a swap, the slippage will be applied to each exchange in the route. For example, if you are swapping uUSD to TEZ via QUIPU with a slippage of 0.5%, then 0.25% slippage will be applied to each trade (uUSD to QUIPU and QUIPU to TEZ). This means that 99.75% of the output of the uUSD to QUIPU trade will be exchanged in the QUIPU to TEZ trade, leaving a small amount of the uUSD to QUIPU output (QUIPU tokens) in your wallet. Unfortunately, since the size of this leftover cannot be known in advance, it accumulates in your wallet over time.
