FBT Swap

What you should know

This guide is for someone who wants to understand a crypto transaction before connecting a wallet or exchanging a token. It starts with networks and token contracts, then covers wallet safety, price quotes, charts and risk — not a list of coins to buy.

On-chain swaps in FBT Swap are signed in your own wallet. The interface does not hold assets and cannot reverse a settled transaction. Read the fee, limitations and unknowns at each step rather than relying on a marketing claim.

A sensible learning path is concepts first, then a test wallet or simulator, then price and chart literacy, and only then DeFi tools. Do not use essential money or funds you cannot afford to lose for practice.

1. Network, coin and token are different things

A network is the ledger and the rules that record a transaction; its native coin pays for network activity; a token is a contract deployed on a network. The same ticker can refer to different contracts on different networks, so a name or logo is not enough to identify an asset.

Before sending or swapping, check the wallet network, token contract and destination asset. A transfer on the wrong network may not be recoverable. FBT Swap lists its supported networks, but network support alone does not mean every token has liquidity or a swap route.

2. Non-custodial wallets and recovery phrases

With a non-custodial wallet, the user controls the key or recovery phrase. Never enter a recovery phrase into a website, chat, support form or application code, and do not leave an unencrypted copy in cloud storage. Anyone who obtains it can move the assets.

Read wallet prompts before signing: a connection request is not the same as a token-transfer approval. If the destination, amount or permission is unclear, reject the request and verify it through the wallet’s official route.

3. From a swap quote to a signed transaction

A swap interface asks public aggregators for routes through decentralised exchanges on the selected network. Check the quote, price impact, minimum received and platform fee before the wallet opens. Network gas is separate and paid to the chain; a pool fee may already be reflected in the quoted rate.

After you review the details, your wallet signs and the chain executes the transaction. A confirmed on-chain transaction cannot be cancelled like a bank payment. A non-custodial service cannot recover a lost recovery phrase or reverse a transfer to the wrong address.

4. Reading a chart or signal without treating it as a forecast

A price chart records what happened in a past window. Timeframe, data source, liquidity and volatility all affect what a chart can tell you. Statistical signals can summarise movement across windows, but historical data does not reveal the future or replace risk management.

The FBT market page shows prices, a seven-day chart and a comparison of 24-hour with seven-day change. Its trend label is a summary of past data, not a buy/sell instruction or personalised recommendation.

5. Dollar-denominated DeFi yield is not guaranteed dollar profit

A yield displayed in dollars or a dollar-pegged token does not guarantee principal or a cash return. Pool and lending rates vary; smart-contract, liquidity, underlying-asset and stablecoin depeg risks remain.

A tokenised global stock is not automatically the same as direct ownership of a share held at a brokerage. Check the issuer, redemption rights, secondary-market liquidity, fees and regional eligibility. FBT currently tracks selected tokenised-asset data; that does not promise trading access in every country.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before you decide.

What should a beginner learn first about crypto?

Start with the difference between a network, a coin and a token, and how to protect a recovery phrase. Then learn to review gas, the quote, price impact and minimum received before signing a swap.

Can a chart or market signal guarantee a future return?

No. Charts and signals summarise historical data. Markets can move against any pattern, and this material is not financial advice.

Is dollar-denominated DeFi yield fixed?

No. Rates can change and contract, liquidity, underlying-asset and stablecoin risks remain. Quoting a figure in dollars does not guarantee principal or returns.

Risk notice

Crypto assets are volatile and on-chain transactions cannot be reversed. You can lose money, including all of it. Nothing here is financial advice.
