What this actually touches. When volatility spikes, the rate you locked is the one you compare later, not the one that drifted. Fixed-rate windows exist exactly for days like this — quote, send during the window, and let the chain settle around a number you already control.

Frequently asked questions

Should I change my swap plan because of this news?

Usually the plan stays: fixed rate, fresh addresses, refund set first. The news changes timing, not mechanics — and only timing if it genuinely touches the chain or coin you're moving.

Can I still do this without KYC?

Yes. VeilSwap routes through instant swap pools with no sign-up and no identity checks at signup — larger amounts may trigger provider-side risk scoring, which is why splitting orders works.
