Quote Screens as Claims, Not Promises
Treat a quote screen as a source record. Read the route, warning text, and minimum received before you trust the number.

Start with the record
A quote is not a promise. It is a screen-level record that should be checked against the interface warning text, route details, and minimum received value.
- Read the route and fee details before trusting the headline number.
- Check whether the interface is warning that the result may change.
- Keep the official source open instead of relying on a cropped screenshot.
Source note
What to record
If you are comparing a claim against an interface, capture the fields that explain the quote rather than only the final number.
- Record the token pair, network, route, and fee information.
- Record the minimum received field and any warning labels.
- Confirm the token address from an official source before relying on the quote.
Source note
Red flags
A weak quote record often depends on urgency or a partial screenshot.
- A screenshot hides the route, network, or minimum received field.
- The token address is missing or does not match the official source.
- Someone asks you to ignore warning text because the opportunity is time-sensitive.

How to use this guide
Check the source before you respond or connect.
Compare the source you plan to use against this briefing. Confirm it independently, and stop if the public record does not match the message.
