Understanding decimal precision is crucial for accurately placing orders on our decentralised exchange. The precision determines the allowable number of decimal places for both the price and the amount/volume when placing orders.
Key Concepts
Quote Precision:
- Defines the maximum number of decimal places allowed for the price.
- Example: If quote precision = 9, the price can have up to 9 decimal places (e.g., 0.123456789).
Base Precision:
- Defines the maximum number of decimal places allowed for the amount or volume.
- Example: If base precision = 2, the amount can have up to 2 decimal places (e.g., 123.12).
