How DogeFactory swap works

This page explains the public swap flow in plain language: how tokens are ordered, what the protection settings actually do, and why some newly created assets can appear before they become tradable on the DEX.

1. DOGE is pinned first

The swap keeps DOGE at the top of the selector because it is the base asset most users start from. After DOGE, live migrated tokens are prioritized before newer curve-only launches.

2. Live pairs are shown before curve-only tokens

A token can appear in the selector before it is swappable on the DEX. If it is still on the bonding curve, the pair is not live yet and the swap interface will show that no live pool is available.

3. The list refreshes automatically

The token list refreshes on a timer so newly confirmed launches and migrations appear without a full page rebuild. If market data is unavailable, the UI keeps DOGE available and waits for the list to recover.

Protection settings

The swap does not expose a separate protection panel anymore because the important part for the public is the actual result: your minimum received is enforced on-chain through the slippage setting.

Minimum received is your execution floor. If the final output would be lower, the transaction reverts.
Lower slippage is safer on liquid pairs. Raise it only when the swap keeps failing because the price moves before confirmation.
Tokens with hidden transfer fees, sell blocks, blacklist controls, or other critical behavior can be blacklisted from public swaps.
Very high slippage increases the risk of receiving materially less than the quote, especially on thin pools.

Blocked token mechanics

DogeFactory is open by default, but it does not treat critical token behavior as normal swap risk. If a token blocks sells, hides fees, changes balances unpredictably, or can target normal users, it can be marked as blocked.

Public rule of thumb: visibility is not endorsement. A visible token can exist on the network without being trusted by DogeFactory, and a blocked token should stay out of new public swaps and new public liquidity.

Common cases

Only DOGE is visible: market data is unavailable, or no launch has been confirmed yet.
A token is visible but cannot be swapped: it likely has not migrated to a live DEX pair yet.
A pair has no route: there is no live non-blocked path with enough usable liquidity for that token combination.
A trade is blocked: a critical risk was detected or recorded for that token.
