# Zero Slippage, Gas, and MEV

Slippage, gas, and MEV derive from blockchain latency, congestion, and surveillance. VDEX participants execute transactions with sub-millisecond finality, unbounded throughput, and private settlement.

* Zero Slippage: The interface's expected price will match the executed price due to instant execution
* ZeroGas: Transactions settle on the user's device without third-party validation, relinquishing the need for gas payments
* MEVZero: Private settlement prevents frontrunning, sandwich attacks, and other exploitations of user trades
