Cake Wallet Fees and Swap Safety Guide

Understand common wallet fee and swap safety concepts, including network fees, provider risk, quotes, slippage, and transaction review.

Fee Desk

Separate network fees from provider quotes

A wallet may show network fees, provider fees, exchange rates, and estimated arrival amounts in one flow. Review each field before sending.

Swap quotes can change. If a quote expires, refresh it instead of rushing through an old confirmation screen.

Checklist

Before a swap

  • Confirm the source asset, destination asset, and receiving address.
  • Review minimum and maximum limits.
  • Check whether a provider requires extra compliance steps.
  • For large amounts, consider a smaller test first.
  • Save transaction IDs and support references without sharing private keys.

Dispute limits

What support can and cannot do

Support may help interpret status, provider references, or transaction IDs. Support should not need your recovery phrase or private keys.

Blockchain transactions can be irreversible. Treat destination checks as part of the transaction, not an afterthought.
