Why a Crypto Swap Quote and Final Amount Can Differ

Published 1 min readBy ShadowSwap Team · editorial policy

A quote is an estimate

A swap quote estimates the output amount for your deposit. The final amount may differ if the rate changes before the swap is processed.

Network fees may affect the total. Your sending wallet or network may charge a fee to send the deposit, and sending the output asset requires a network transaction. Check the quote details to see which fees are included.

Check the details before depositing

Before starting a swap, review the quote and confirm:

  • The deposit amount and asset.
  • The output asset and destination wallet address.
  • The rate and any service or network fees shown.
  • That the quote is an estimate and the final amount may change.

A deposit that differs from the quoted amount may change the calculation. Follow the order instructions and do not send additional funds to an existing deposit address unless instructed.

Compare the total you expect to receive

Compare estimated output after applicable fees, using the same deposit amount, asset, and destination network. A higher displayed rate may not result in a higher final amount if fees or quote conditions differ.

Review ShadowSwap fees and compare exchange pairs and live rates. For each order, ShadowSwap generates a one-time deposit address it controls, holds the deposit while processing the swap, and sends the output directly to the wallet address you provide. The swap takes the deposit network confirmations plus a manual payout sent by an admin, so timing can vary.
