Swap and bridge risks

Swap risk#

Prices move. You may receive less than quoted, down to the minimum received set by your slippage. Low-liquidity tokens can have high price impact. Transactions that revert still cost a network fee.

Bridge risk#

• Funds in transit: while bridging, funds are held by the bridge provider, not your wallet.
• Delays: most transfers finish in seconds to minutes, but some take longer.
• Provider failures: a provider can fail. 0x documents automatic refunds and recovery; refunds may arrive as a different token or on the other chain.
• Beta API: the 0x Cross-Chain API is in beta and its behaviour may change.

Unverified tokens#

Anyone can create a token. A pasted address may be a copy of a real token, may block selling, or may charge transfer taxes. The risk strip and sell-side check are signals, not proof.

Public transactions#

Swaps and bridges are public onchain transactions. Sealed-order features such as Pool are separate and in preview.
