UNIFY / SECURITY
Security & transaction safeguards
How Unify validates routes, recipients and minimum amounts, and what these checks cannot guarantee.
Your wallet signs each move
Unify does not ask for seed phrases or private keys. Transactions are approved in your wallet. Review the receiving address, chain and wallet request before signing. An approval gives spending permission; it is not a completed swap.
Checks before execution
Independent routes bind the exact token contracts, network, selected path, recipient and reviewed minimum. Routes are refreshed and simulated where supported. A changed route or a worse protected minimum stops execution. Available checks differ by provider and wallet.
Issuer trading and transfer restrictions are respected. Unknown liquidity or unavailable network reads do not become executable routes.
What is not guaranteed
These checks are not an independent security audit or a guarantee against smart-contract, bridge, wallet, oracle or network failures. No audit certification is claimed here. Estimates can change, and cross-chain settlement is not atomic with every source swap.
If a submitted transaction is uncertain, check its hash and use recovery instead of repeating it. Never send a seed phrase to support.
Page analytics
Umami measures public page visits without wallet or transaction events. Page URLs omit query strings and fragments; referrers are not sent. Tracking respects Do Not Track. Private admin and support pages do not load the tracker.
Further reading
Before you confirm
- Check the destination: the token contract, network and receiving wallet must match your intention. An identical ticker on another chain is not the same asset.
- Read the minimum: this is the protected token amount, not a dollar-value guarantee. Increasing slippage relaxes that protection; it does not repair missing liquidity or issuer permissions.
- Review the wallet request: distinguish an allowance, an off-chain signature and the swap or bridge submission. Stop if the account or network is unexpected.
- Keep gas available: approval and execution may be separate transactions. The app reserves a small amount of native gas where applicable.
- Check the result: use History and the exact chain explorer. A bridge requires destination evidence, not just a successful source transaction.
The trust boundaries
| Layer | What it does | What remains outside its guarantee |
|---|---|---|
| Unify checks | Rechecks the reviewed path, recipient, amounts and applicable issuer rules. | Checks depend on current RPC and provider responses; not an independent audit. |
| Your wallet | Requests your authorization for each required action. | A familiar wallet can still authorize an unsafe request. |
| Swap venue or bridge | Executes the selected on-chain or cross-chain operation. | Contract risk, bridge delivery, reorgs and congestion remain. |
| Portfolio valuation | Shows priced, readable holdings and their provenance. | A reference value is not a tradable price or proof of full wallet coverage. |
Approvals, batching and partial completion
Unify direct executors use the reviewed amount when requesting an allowance. Partner routes can have different approval mechanisms, so inspect the wallet request rather than assuming every permission is identical. Previously granted permissions may remain after the move; review unwanted allowances using your wallet or a tool you trust.
Optional Base batching is offered only for supported wallets and eligible routes. It does not make a multi-network portfolio atomic. An asset-level failure may leave other routes complete. An uncertain submitted transaction is not automatically safe to resend.
Common questions
Does hiding my wallet address make transactions private?
No. The eye button hides the address in parts of the interface. Blockchain activity, explorer links and requests needed to load your portfolio or quote a move can still identify the public wallet.
Why did the app stop before signing?
A quote can expire, liquidity can move, or a recipient, permission or network check can fail. Refresh and review the cause. Do not increase slippage simply to bypass a failed safety check.
Is Unify audited or insured?
No independent audit certification, insurance coverage or reimbursement guarantee is claimed on this page. Use an amount and risk level you are comfortable with.
