Before you start

Two things and you are ready. A wallet that can hold Stellar and a little XLM for gas on its chain, and the receiving address you want the output delivered to, which can be a raw address or a web3 name where the wallet resolves one. The preview shows the full picture before anything is signed: what leaves, what arrives, the fee, and the network cost. Nothing in the flow asks you to hand over keys; the wallet stays yours and signs only what you approved on screen.

Fees and settlement

Count the costs on one hand. On the platform side a flat 0.50% covers the swap, all-in, stated in the quote with no spread or routing cut behind the number. On the network side, gas in XLM, settling with about 5 sec blocks on Stellar Consensus Protocol, shown per leg before signature. Settlement runs on-chain to your chosen address at this asset's policy, 1 ledger (fast), a few extra for high value, and from confirmation onward the balance answers to your keys alone, spendable, sendable, and settled with no platform anywhere in the path.

Execution runs through an instant integration, which means the number you approved is the number that happens or the transaction reverts: swaps are atomic, with no half-settled state to unwind and no exposure window between legs. If a route cannot fill at your approved bounds it fails cleanly and you re-quote, which is the failure mode you want, cheap and loud rather than silent and expensive.
