# Platform Settings

The **Settings** menu is your central hub for personalizing the platform. Access it by clicking the **Settings** (sliders) icon in the top-right corner of the header, next to the **Connect Wallet** button.

### 1. Network settings: priority fees

The **Network** tab lets you manage **Priority Fees**, which help your transactions be processed faster during periods of high Solana network congestion.

#### Presets

| Preset                  | Behaviour                                                                                                     |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **None**                | Disables priority fees entirely; you only pay the base Solana transaction cost.                               |
| **Low / Medium / High** | Applies a pre-calculated fee based on current network demand to increase the likelihood of fast confirmation. |
| **Auto**                | Dynamically selects an optimal rate based on real-time network conditions.                                    |
| **Custom**              | Lets you manually enter a specific fee amount applied to all your transactions. Maximum: **1 SOL**.           |

#### Max fee cap

For all active presets except **None**, you can set a maximum limit (in SOL) that you are willing to pay. The system will never exceed this cap, even if the calculated priority fee is higher. The maximum allowed limit for this field is **1 SOL**.

### 2. Sound settings: notifications

The **Sound** tab manages audio alerts for critical platform events.

* **Master toggle** - the **Enable Sounds** master switch turns all platform audio on or off at once.
* **Individual toggles** - enable or disable sounds for specific events:
  * Maker order filled
  * Transaction submitted
  * Transaction failed
* **Audio preview** - each sound row features a **Play** icon (triangle button) so you can listen to an alert before enabling it.

### 3. General settings: interface and layout

The **General** tab lets you customize the visual appearance of the trading interface.

* **Market Stats Marquee** - toggle the visibility of the rolling ticker tape at the top of the screen. Turning it **off** removes the dynamic asset statistics feed for a cleaner layout.
* **Orderbook and Recent Trades layout** - choose how the trading data blocks are positioned:

| Layout                  | Description                                                                               |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Stacked** *(default)* | Positions the Orderbook on top of Recent Trades in a vertical column.                     |
| **Tab**                 | Displays the two modules as side-by-side horizontal tabs.                                 |
| **Auto**                | Automatically adapts the layout based on your browser's zoom level and screen dimensions. |

**Tip:** If you frequently see "Transaction Timed Out" errors during peak market hours, try switching your Priority Fee to **High** and setting your Max Fee Cap to a reasonable level such as **0.005 SOL**.
