Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers, grouped by topic. Every answer links to the guide that goes deeper.
Getting started
Section titled “Getting started”Do I need an account to swap?
No. You connect a wallet and trade directly from it; there is no sign-up and no deposit step.
How long does a Solana swap take?
Most swaps are confirmed within a few seconds, although timing depends on current network conditions.
Should I use a DEX, an aggregator, a bridge or a centralized exchange?
They solve different problems. A DEX provides liquidity, an aggregator compares many DEXs and routes to find better execution, a bridge moves assets between chains, and a centralized exchange is where most people first buy crypto with fiat.
Swapping and execution
Section titled “Swapping and execution”What fees will I pay?
Solana network fees plus any liquidity provider or protocol fees on the selected trading route.
Why didn't I receive the exact quoted amount?
The quoted amount is an estimate. Final execution depends on liquidity, routing, market movement and price impact at the moment your transaction is processed.
Why do some transactions fail?
Transactions most often fail because the market price moves beyond your configured slippage tolerance before the transaction is confirmed.
Safety
Section titled “Safety”How do I know if a new token is legitimate?
Always verify the contract address through the project’s official website, documentation or verified social media accounts before buying.
Is swapping on Solana safe?
Using reputable wallets and trusted trading interfaces is generally considered safe, but always verify token addresses, review the transaction details and understand the risks of decentralized trading.
Ask the community, or try a swap and see the route before you confirm.
