Why Crypto Swap Quotes Expire

A crypto quote is a time-limited view of current market, liquidity, and route conditions. It cannot remain valid indefinitely while those inputs continue changing.

The safest response to an expired quote is to request a new one and follow the new instructions. Do not assume an old deposit address or amount remains valid.

What changes after a quote is created

Prices, liquidity, blockchain conditions, route availability, and minimum viable amounts can change. Expiry prevents an old result from being presented as though those conditions were unchanged.

The expected amount and minimum received belong to that quote. A newly requested quote may produce different values even when the selected assets are the same.

Why exact deposit instructions matter

A transaction flow can require an exact asset, network, amount, and deposit address. Reusing instructions from an expired or different route can make automatic matching or execution fail.

Before sending, verify that the on-screen route is current and copy the deposit information from the active transaction view. Preserve the transaction reference for tracking and support.

What to do when the quote expires

Return to the quote step, confirm the selected networks and addresses, and request a fresh quote. Review the new expected and minimum receive amounts before creating another transaction.

If funds were already sent, do not create a second deposit. Track the existing transaction and contact support with its public reference if the status is unclear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send to an expired deposit address?

Do not assume that you can. Use only the instructions attached to an active transaction. If you already sent funds, track that transaction instead of sending again.

Does expiry mean the route is permanently unavailable?

No. Expiry normally applies to one quote. A fresh quote may be available immediately, although route availability and values can change.

Request a current route

Choose the assets again and review the latest quote, networks, and deposit instructions before continuing.
