SpookySwap Exchange Overview: v2 / v3 Architecture & Routing
SpookySwap Exchange is a Fantom-native AMM where swaps settle directly on-chain to your wallet.
The router evaluates SpookySwap v2 (stable/volatile pools) and SpookySwap v3 (concentrated liquidity)
and may hop through wFTM or stables to minimize price impact and gas.
SpookySwap v2 vs SpookySwap v3 — When Each Wins
- v2 Stable: Correlated assets (USDC/USDT). Curve concentrates liquidity near the peg → lower slippage.
- v2 Volatile: Constant-product pools for non-correlated pairs; predictable behavior, broad availability.
- v3 Concentrated: Tight execution when your trade sits in-range; monitor range/out-of-range risk.
Effective Price on SpookySwap Exchange
- Price Impact: Depth × size. Router may split/hop via deeper legs (e.g.,
TOKEN → wFTM → TOKEN).
- Pool Fees: Embedded in v2/v3 pools; check tier and route preview in the UI.
- Gas on Fantom: Low, but multi-hop adds cost — route scoring uses net outcome, not just quote.
Where SpookySwap Bridge Fits
Use SpookySwap Bridge (or reputable bridges) to fund Fantom first, then execute on SpookySwap Exchange locally.
Always test small, verify destination token contracts on FTMScan, and keep FTM for approvals.
Security & MEV Safety for SpookySwap Exchange
Non-custodial by design: you sign approvals and swaps. Adopt these habits for safer, cleaner execution on
SpookySwap Exchange.
Wallet & Allowance Hygiene
- Use a hardware wallet for material balances; verify recipients and amounts on-device.
- Approve minimal allowances; periodically revoke stale approvals.
- Bookmark official SpookySwap Exchange URLs; avoid search-ad impostors.
MEV-Aware Flow on Fantom
- Slippage discipline: Tight on deep pairs; widen slightly during volatility.
- Private/builder RPC: If supported, reduce sandwich risk on size; split large orders.
- Latency: Faster inclusion reduces exposure — consider a higher priority fee when needed.
Sanity Checks
- Match token contracts on FTMScan; beware ticker clones and fee-on-transfer tokens.
- Confirm route preview (v2 vs v3, wFTM hops) and minimum received threshold.
- Re-quote if the market moves or mempool delay increases.
SpookySwap Exchange Features: Router Patterns, LP Strategy, Tooling
Router Patterns on SpookySwap
- Direct v3 (in-range): Best when concentrated liquidity surrounds current price.
- Stable pivot (v2):
ALT → wFTM → USDC (or reverse) if stable/deep legs improve final output.
- v2 volatile simple: For non-correlated assets with healthy TVL and steady flow.
LP Strategy — v2 & v3
- v2 stable: Lower IL for correlated assets; fees scale with volume.
- v2 volatile: Higher IL risk; look for two-sided organic flow to offset via fees.
- v3 ranges: Concentrate near active price; rebalance if price exits your range.
Developer Notes
- Deterministic calldata; explicit revert reasons (slippage/allowance).
- Emit route hops, realized output, and gas for dashboards.
- Expose pool type (v2 stable/volatile, v3) and fee tiers in UI for clarity.
Execution KPIs
- Quoted vs realized output (post-settlement Δ).
- Effective price (received per unit after fees + gas).
- Pool TVL & 24h/7d volume as depth/flow proxies.
- Fail/Cancel rate to tune slippage and RPC.
Runbook for SpookySwap Exchange: Slippage, Gas & Troubleshooting
Before You Swap
- Hold FTM for approvals and swap gas (buffer more during spikes).
- Verify token address/decimals on FTMScan; understand transfer-tax tokens.
- Do a micro-swap to validate the route (v2 vs v3) and fees.
Slippage & Gas Guidance
- Deep stables/majors: 0.10–0.50% slippage.
- Mid-caps / average depth: 0.50–1.50%.
- Illiquid/volatile: 1.50%+ (start conservative; scale carefully).
Troubleshooting Matrix
- INSUFFICIENT_OUTPUT_AMOUNT → Price moved / slippage too tight. Refresh, nudge tolerance, or split.
- TRANSFER_FROM_FAILED → Missing/low allowance. Re-approve the minimal amount.
- Long pending → RPC congestion. Switch RPC or raise priority fee; consider private/builder RPC.
SpookySwap Bridge — Safe On-Ramp
- Use official links only; bridge a test amount first.
- Verify destination token contracts on FTMScan.
- Bring extra FTM for approvals after bridging; then swap on SpookySwap Exchange.
SpookySwap Exchange FAQ — v2 vs v3, Bridge, Fees, Safety
SpookySwap v2 or SpookySwap v3 — how do I choose?
v2 is ideal for stable and general pairs; v3 excels with in-range liquidity near price. The router typically selects by effective price (net of fees + gas).
How do I use SpookySwap Bridge safely?
Bridge via reputable links, test small, verify contracts on FTMScan, then swap locally on SpookySwap Exchange. Keep FTM for gas.
What slippage should I set on SpookySwap Exchange?
Deep pairs: 0.10–0.50%. Mid-caps: 0.50–1.50%. Illiquid: 1.50%+. Tight settings reduce MEV surface but may cause reverts in choppy markets.
How do I minimize MEV on Fantom?
- Use tight but realistic slippage; submit during calmer periods.
- Consider private/builder RPC for size; split large orders.
- Raise priority fee to shorten mempool time.
Why does realized output differ from the quote?
On-chain state changes between quote and inclusion. Other trades move price and multi-hop gas adds friction. Compare routes by effective price, not just headline quotes.
