🧾 Why Is the Received Amount Less Than Expected?

The received amount has been changed

Updated over 2 months ago

πŸ’‘ Possible Reasons

If you received slightly less crypto than expected, don’t worry β€” this is often due to normal network or rate behavior.
Here are the main reasons why the amount can vary:
​

🌊 1. Floating Rate Used

If you chose a floating rate, the exchange rate depends on real-time market conditions.

  • During volatile periods, the rate may shift before your transaction is finalized.

  • The final amount is calculated based on the rate at the moment your crypto is received by our liquidity provider.

πŸ’¬ Tip: Floating rates usually provide better value in stable markets but can fluctuate during high volatility.


πŸ”— 2. Network Fees

Every blockchain charges a network (miner) fee for processing transactions.

  • These fees are deducted automatically by the blockchain, not by StealthEX.

  • They vary depending on network congestion β€” for example, BTC and ETH fees often rise during busy periods.

πŸ’¬ Note: The sending and receiving wallets might both apply network fees, slightly affecting the final amount received.


βœ… Tip: Lock the Amount in Advance

To avoid surprises, choose a Fixed Rate before confirming your swap.
This locks the exchange rate for ~15–30 minutes, ensuring you receive the exact amount shown regardless of market changes.
