FAQ

Each pool has its own hook, fee and liquidity. A pair can have a plain pool, a dynamic-fee pool and a TWAP pool side by side. The swap page quotes all of them and chooses the best fill for you, so you don't have to know which is which.

Usually one of three things. The price moved past your slippage limit between the quote and execution (6007). The pool holds a filled range order and your swap would have moved the price back into it (7013). Or the transaction ran out of compute. In every case nothing was swapped; you paid only the network fee. See Errors.

The pool's hook raises the fee after swaps have been moving the price, and lets it decay back second by second while trading is calm. The receipt says when the fee came from the hook. See Dynamic fee.

Not directly. A hook never sees a vault, your token accounts or your signature. Within its pool's permissions it can raise the fee up to the pool's max fee, add a surcharge up to the pool's cap, or refuse your trade. Both limits are shown on the pool's page and in the swap receipt.

No. The whole swap fee goes to the liquidity providers in range. A hook with the surcharge permission can charge extra for the pool's creator; none of the built-in hooks do.

The price has moved outside your range. The position isn't earning fees and is held entirely in one token. It earns again if the price comes back. You can withdraw it at any time.

Only its owner can. A range-order pool's liquidity is the owner's order and nothing else. Anyone can swap against it.

No. Positions are program accounts tied to the wallet that opened them. To move liquidity, withdraw it and deposit from the other wallet.

Socket reads finalized state only, so nothing shown can still be rolled back. A transaction is final about 13 seconds after it confirms; the app refreshes then.

Browser wallets that support the Wallet Standard, such as Phantom, Solflare and Backpack. Hardware wallets connected over USB are not supported in the app.

Not in the app; it creates pools with the built-in hooks. Use the SDK or the API. See Write a hook.

SOCKET is Socket's governance token. Holders vote on which hooks the app and API route trades through, and hook authors stake it behind the hooks they list. See The SOCKET token.

In a fair launch: the whole supply went into one public launch on the same terms for everyone. There was no presale, no team or investor allocation, no airdrop and no vesting. Providing liquidity earns the pool's fees, not SOCKET.
