They behave differently in ways that matter to you. Only Minswap automatically refunds an order that cannot fill. ### Comparison | | Minswap (V2) | SundaeSwap (V3, V1) | WingRiders (V2) | Splash | | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Auto-refund when an order can't fill | **Yes** | No — order parks until you cancel | No — order parks until you cancel | No — order parks until you cancel | | Batcher fee per order | 2 ADA | 1 ADA on V3 pools (estimate), 2.5 ADA on V1 pools | Set per pool, typically 2 ADA, never above 5 ADA | Set by Splash; 2 ADA if unavailable | | Refundable order deposit | 2 ADA | 2 ADA | 2 ADA ("oil") | Not charged separately | | Minimum received written into the order | Yes | Yes | Yes | Handled inside Splash's own logic; Surge cannot read it back | | Available in split (aggregated) manual swaps | Yes | Yes | Yes | **No** — excluded because its minimum-received cannot be enforced per leg | | Cancelling a stuck order | Standard | Standard | Standard | Requires a plain-ADA coin of at least 5 ADA in the wallet as collateral | | Order deadline | 4 minutes for arbitrage buys | — | Orders expire 20 minutes after placement (expiry does **not** return the funds; you still cancel) | — | | Pool type | Constant-product | Constant-product | Constant-product and stableswap | Order book plus pools | Batcher fees and deposits are the values Surge uses when it quotes and records fees; the DEX may change its actual fee. `[VERIFY: Minswap's documentation states its batcher fee was removed in 2025; Surge still quotes and records 2 ADA. Confirm against a live swap.]` MuesliSwap appears in some lists but is **not** tradeable; selecting it fails. ### What “parks until you cancel” means On SundaeSwap, WingRiders and Splash, if the market moves past your order's minimum before the batcher gets to it, the order simply stays open at the DEX's order address with your funds inside. Nothing bad happens to the funds, but they are locked until you sign a cancel transaction that returns them to your wallet. Surge: * offers a cancel automatically for grid, rule-based and arbitrage orders that have been open for more than 5 minutes (a "Cancel ready" prompt appears on the strategy page); * shows a **Cancel & reclaim funds** button on manual swaps and in the wallet detail page once an order has been open for more than 3 minutes. See [Cancelling stuck orders](/orders-and-transactions/cancelling-stuck-orders.md). ### How Surge picks a DEX * **Manual swap**: you choose one DEX, or let the aggregator split the swap across several. See [Manual swap](/dashboard-and-account/manual-swap.md). * **Grid**: you choose which DEX's are allowed; Surge prices and trades on the deepest eligible pool among them. * **Rule-based**: you choose which DEX's are allowed; for each order Surge quotes every allowed venue's deepest pool at your size and fires on the one that pays the most after batcher, network and Surge fees. * **Arbitrage**: you choose at least two DEX's to monitor; Surge buys on the cheaper and sells on the dearer of any pair. * **DCA, Cadence**: you choose one DEX. A pool is only eligible if it holds at least a minimum amount of ADA — 1,000 ADA for price feeds and 5,000 ADA for grid, rule-based and arbitrage trading — so a thin or dust pool is never used. ### Token naming Token symbols and logos come from the DEX token registries. A "verified" badge in the pair picker means the token appears in Minswap's verified-token list. Tokens whose decimal places are unknown are shown but their value is not counted in your portfolio total. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.surgecardano.com/core-concepts/supported-dexes.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
