What Happened

A trader tried to swap about 7,800,000 STONKS—worth roughly $1.8 million. Because of a botched swap route on Raydium, they ended up with tokens worth just $25. This outcome is confirmed by the on-chain transaction on Solscan.

What Traders Should Watch For

Big swaps are super sensitive to routing parameters. Always double-check the minimum received (min received) and slippage settings before hitting confirm. It's smart to do a small test swap first, and break up large trades into smaller chunks if needed. Also, check the route and liquidity pools in a block explorer and compare quotes across different swap options.
