About this pair

What you approve on screen is everything that will happen: amounts, fees, and the network costs per leg, all shown before the first signature. No account, no deposit, and no custody anywhere in the path.

Step 03

Confirm once

Step 04

Receive DAI at your address

Fees and settlement
