Why is my final amount different from what I expected?

Category: Transaction Basics · Last updated: 10.03.2026

The difference between the quoted amount and the final amount you receive is caused by three factors: price volatility during the exchange, blockchain network fees, and the exchange spread. Rates are locked for 10-20 minutes to minimize volatility impact.

Factors Affecting Final Amount

  • Network fees — Blockchain networks charge fees for processing transactions. These are deducted from your final amount.
  • Exchange spread — The difference between buy and sell price, typically around 2% above market rate.
  • Price volatility — If the rate lock expires before processing completes, the final rate may differ slightly.

How to Minimize Differences

Complete your payment as quickly as possible after creating an order to stay within the rate lock period. Choose networks with lower fees (TRC20 over ERC20 for USDT). Check the transaction details page for a full breakdown of fees applied.
