It all started in the most ordinary way.
A new token, WAL, was being actively discussed — airdrops, listings, the Sui ecosystem’s potential. The feed was full of phrases like “still early, but interesting.”

One user decided not to waste time.
He opened a DeFi interface,
selected the SUI → sWAL swap,entered $250,
saw the familiar word Swap — and clicked it.

Without properly checking:

the pool liquiditythe real execution pricethe allowed slippage, which was set high by default
⏱️ A few seconds of waiting — transaction confirmed.
The balance updated…And instead of the expected amount, he saw around $5.
Not a hack.
Not a rug pull.
Not a bug.
Just low liquidity + massive slippage that “ate” almost the entire amount.

In the comments, the user wrote briefly — but very accurately:

“I knew DeFi was risky. I just didn’t expect it to be this literal.”

📌 Why did this happen?
The pool had very low liquidityThe price in the interface looked fine before confirmationSlippage allowed the trade to go through even at a catastrophic rate
DeFi doesn’t ask: “Are you sure?”
DeFi simply executes the contract.

🔁 A similar story — but this time with a Binance-listed token
Many people experienced the same thing earlier with PEPE, which now trades on Binance.
During the peak of the hype:
users entered DEXs before centralized exchangesbought PEPE in small liquidity poolsand received 5–10x fewer tokens than they expected
Some lost 30–70% of their position purely due to slippage, thinking it was a “bad price,” when in reality it was just how DEX mechanics work.
The irony?
Later, PEPE was listed on Binance — with proper liquidity and a clear order book — but the money lost at the start never came back.

🧠 The main lesson that connects #walrus , PEPE, and hundreds of other tokens
A promising token ≠ a safe tradeAirdrops and listings ≠ no technical risksDeFi ≠ “click once and everything’s fine”
📉 In crypto, you can lose money not because you chose the wrong asset,

but because of one careless click.

🐋 Moral
In crypto, it’s not the fastest who win.
And not even the earliest.
Most often, the winners are those who:
✔️ look at liquidity✔️ read the numbers before confirming✔️ and trust the calculator more than the Swap button

$WAL reminded us of this.

$PEPE showed it earlier.

And the market will repeat this lesson more than once.
