In our example, it's BNB token for BUSD on BNB Chain (using OpenOcean) -> BUSD for USDC on BOBA BNB -> USDC for ETH on zkSync Era (using mute.io). — Price is the value of one cryptocurrency for the purpose of conversion to another. — Slippage Tolerance means that the trade will be automatically canceled if the price change exceeds this percentage (you can change this value by pressing the cog icon in the top right corner). — Actual amount to be sent is the value of the entered token amount in the USD equivalent minus liquidity provider fees (if any). Destination network fee is the estimated transaction fee on the destination network in the stablecoin equivalent.
