Review routing options optional
Orca lets you select a routing source before swapping. The currently selected route is shown in the top right of the swap panel. Click it to change the route source.
Titan, DFlow, or Jupiter — Route through the selected third-party aggregator.
Orca routing — Route directly through Orca pools.
If routing directly through Orca pools returns a higher quoted output than the selected aggregator route, the displayed quote may use Orca routing instead. When this happens, Orca shows that the trade will route through Orca before you submit.Review the quoted output, price impact, fees, slippage setting, and route source before swapping.

Why did I receive less than quoted?
The final amount can differ due to:
Slippage — Price moved between quote and execution
Price impact — Your trade size affected the quoted rate
Fees — Swap and route fees may affect the final amount
If the swap cannot meet the minimum received amount shown, the transaction should fail rather than execute.
My transaction failed—what now?
Common causes include:
Slippage too low — The price moved beyond your slippage setting before execution
Insufficient SOL — Your wallet did not have enough SOL for fees
Price moved — The quote changed before the transaction confirmed
Route unavailable — The selected route or pool conditions changed before execution
