Glide
Ease one large order into the market over time to reduce price impact — a TWAP-style order slicer.
What is Glide?
Glide takes a single large order and splits it into equal slices, executing one slice per interval. Instead of dumping the whole order into the market at once — and moving the price against yourself — you spread it out so each fill lands closer to the going rate. This is a time-weighted average price (TWAP) approach: your overall fill trends toward the average price across the schedule.
Unlike the recurring bots (DCA, Accumulation), Glide is finite. It has a defined total size and completes once every slice has filled, then stops on its own. There is no ongoing schedule — Glide does one job and finishes.
How to set it up
Direction
Buy the base asset or sell it. When buying, sizes are denominated in the quote asset you spend; when selling, in the base asset you sell.
Total order size
The total amount to buy or sell over the whole schedule, expressed in the input asset for the chosen side.
Number of slices (min 2)
The order is split into this many equal slices. A minimum of 2 slices is required.
Time between slices
The interval between fills, e.g. every 15 minutes. One slice executes per interval until the order is filled.
Worst acceptable price (optional)
Set in the quote token. If set, slices are skipped while the price is worse than this limit — above your limit when buying, below it when selling.
When to use it
Large position in or out
Entering or exiting a large position without moving the market. Slicing keeps each fill small relative to available liquidity.
Thin, low-liquidity pairs
On shallow pairs a single market order would slip badly. Spreading it out lets liquidity replenish between slices.
A smooth one-time reposition
A single reposition you want executed smoothly over minutes or hours rather than in one hit.
You want the best price
Glide is not a market-timing tool. It targets an average, not the best price — it will not wait for a dip or a top.
A fast-moving trend
In a strong trend the later slices may fill at much worse prices. Use the worst-acceptable-price limit to cap how far you'll chase.
Ongoing accumulation
Glide is finite, so it's not for continuous buying or selling. Use DCA or Accumulation for a standing schedule.
Best time to use Glide
- You have a big buy or sell to execute and want minimal market impact.
- Liquidity is thin and slippage on a single swap would be high.
- You want a smooth average fill over a defined window.
- A one-off entry or exit rather than a standing strategy.
Availability
Glide is live on-chain today on both Solana and Robinhood Chain — real create plus keeper servicing, alongside Grid, DCA, and Accumulation. Only Rebalance (the multi-asset strategy) is still coming soon.
