Why did the final output amount differ from the initial estimate?

If you selected a Floating Rate order, the final amount reflects real-time market price movements and dynamic on-chain gas costs incurred during block confirmation. If you prefer a more predictable amount, check whether the provider offers a fixed rate. Fixed rates have their own terms.

What happens if I send funds below the minimum threshold?

Every cross-chain pair requires a minimum amount to cover target blockchain transaction fees. A deposit below the minimum may not be processed automatically or may be delayed. Contact the provider’s support; whether a refund is possible, and at what cost, depends on the provider’s terms.

Can Squaby freeze, reverse, or seize my digital assets?

Squaby does not hold your funds or private keys, so it cannot freeze or move your assets. Third-party providers apply their own rules, and a provider may delay or hold a transaction for compliance reasons as set out in its terms.

What does the OSINT dashboard show?

The dashboard shows automated, informational signals such as gas prices, market sentiment, token-security flags from the GoPlus Security API and network activity. These signals are not audits, can be delayed or wrong, and cannot rule out scams or losses.

What is the Squaby Score, and do partner links change it?

The Squaby Score is a number from 0 to 100 that summarizes how well the documented facts about an exchange, a hardware wallet or a swap provider meet a published set of criteria. Each review lists the facts with their sources and check dates. Partner links do not change a score: points come only from the recorded facts and the published point rules. A score is not a recommendation or financial advice.

How does Squaby earn money?

Some links to exchanges, hardware wallet makers and swap providers are partner links, and pages that show them say so at the top. If you sign up or buy through one, Squaby may earn a commission. Nobody pays Squaby to be included in a review or a ranking.

What happens to an address I enter in the OSINT tools?

A wallet address you enter in the Wallet Profiler or the Token Approval Checker goes from Squaby's server to public blockchain RPC providers. Squaby does not store it in its database or caches, but a Wallet Profiler address can appear in server logs, and the providers may keep their own logs. A contract address in the Contract Scanner goes to the GoPlus Security API, and the result is cached for one hour. Watchlist entries stay in your browser. The Privacy Policy has the details.

I sent crypto on the wrong network or without a memo. Can Squaby help?

Squaby cannot move or recover funds. Contact the support of the service that received the deposit, such as the exchange or the swap provider, and give them the transaction hash. Whether the funds can be recovered, and at what cost, depends on that service and the network; sometimes they cannot be recovered.

How current is the information on Squaby?

Each review shows the date on which every fact was checked. Squaby re-checks its reviews on the schedule stated in its methodology, and a review marks a check as possibly out of date after the period set there. Prices and on-chain data show their own source and age.

✦ Swaps

Cross-Chain Swaps

Compare Swap Providers →

01.Network Precision

Pair & Network Selection

Select from the assets the provider supports. Always check that the destination blockchain matches your receiving wallet (for example, USDT on ERC-20 vs TRC-20).

02.Rate Dynamics

Floating vs. Fixed Rate

A floating rate can change until the swap completes. A fixed rate, where the provider offers it, locks the amount you receive for the order under the provider's terms. Compare fees and limits before you choose.

03.Address Check

Address & Network Check

Paste your own wallet address and double-check the network. Some providers check the address format on their site, but a format check cannot confirm that you control the address or that it is on the right network.

04.Settlement

Deposit & Settlement

Send the exact requested amount to the deposit address the provider generates. After the deposit is confirmed on-chain, the provider sends the converted funds to your wallet. Timing varies by network and provider, and delays are possible.

05.Memo

Memo or Destination Tag

Some coins, such as XRP, need a memo or destination tag as well as the address when the receiving account is shared, for example on an exchange. Enter it exactly. A deposit without a required memo can be delayed, lost or cost a refund fee.

06.Refund Rules

Refund Address & Checks

If the provider offers a refund address field, fill it in so that a failed swap can be returned. A provider may stop a swap for an anti-money-laundering check and ask for identity documents, so read its check and refund rules before you send anything.

✦ Self-Custody Security

Hardware Wallets & Key Safety

Compare Hardware Wallets →

01.Recovery Phrase

Private Key Isolation

Your 12- or 24-word recovery phrase gives full access to your assets to anyone who has it. Never photograph, email, or store it in cloud drives or note apps.

02.Hardware Wallets

Hardware Wallets

Consider a hardware wallet that keeps your keys on a dedicated device. Chip certifications differ by model; the hardware wallet reviews show what each manufacturer states and what public registers show.

03.Domain Integrity

Recognizing Phishing

Check the domain in your browser's address bar before you connect a wallet or enter any details. Squaby will never ask for your recovery phrase or private keys, and neither should anyone else.

04.Best Practice

Test Transaction

For high-value transfers, consider sending a small test amount first to confirm that the address and network are correct.

05.Supply Chain

Buy From the Maker

Buy a hardware wallet from the manufacturer's own store or an authorized reseller listed on its website, and type the address yourself. In October 2026 tampered devices with hidden components reached buyers through resellers, so buying from the manufacturer reduces, but does not remove, the risk. Never use a device that arrives with a PIN or recovery phrase already set.

06.Backup

Backup & Firmware

Write the recovery phrase on paper or metal and keep it offline. Use the wallet's backup check where it offers one, and install firmware updates only through the manufacturer's own app.

07.Account Safety

Exchange Account Security

On an exchange, use an authenticator app or a passkey instead of SMS codes and, where offered, a withdrawal address allowlist. The exchange reviews show which of these features each exchange documents.

✦ On-Chain Data

On-Chain Data & Token Checks

01.Contract Flags

Contract Scanner

Paste a token contract address and pick its network. The result shows the automated flags that the GoPlus Security API reports, such as honeypot behavior, sell restrictions and buy or sell tax. No flags, or missing data, does not mean a token is safe, and a scan is not an audit.

02.Approvals

Token Approval Checker

Enter an Ethereum address to see whether it lets a fixed list of well-known swap contracts spend a few major tokens, and whether an allowance is unlimited. Only the listed pairs are checked, so "None" does not prove that the address has no other approvals. Remove approvals you no longer need from your own wallet.

03.Balances

Wallet Profiler

Shows the balances of a few listed assets on Ethereum Mainnet for any public address, valued in USD. It is not the wallet's total value: other tokens, networks and DeFi positions are not included.

04.Network Signals

Network Activity Signals

The OSINT dashboard shows network activity signals and gas prices. The data is informational, may be delayed or incomplete, and is not a trading signal.

05.Scope

Stablecoin & Derivatives Panels

The stablecoin panel shows the total supply of USDT and USDC on Ethereum Mainnet only. The perpetual futures panel shows open interest and funding for two markets of one on-chain protocol, GMX v2 on Arbitrum One, not the whole market.

06.Market Context

Market Sentiment Context

The Fear & Greed index gives rough context, not predictions. Do not rely on it alone before putting money into a new protocol.

Select a question to read the answer. The answers are general information about third-party swaps, Squaby's role and the OSINT dashboard.

Settlement time varies by network and provider. It often takes several minutes, but network congestion or extra provider checks can make it longer. Speed depends mainly on the confirmation requirements of the blockchains involved.
