Swapping

One button at a time, and only the steps your wallet needs.

Approve, sign, swap

Approvals and signatures cover exactly the amount of that swap, never an unlimited allowance, so a later swap may ask you to approve again.

Slippage

Slippage is how far you allow the result to fall between review and execution. Auto uses 0.1% between stablecoins and 0.5% for everything else; you can pick 0.1%, 0.5%, 1% or up to 50%.

• Raise it for tokens that move fast or charge a transfer tax.
• Keep it low for stablecoins: a high slippage only lets you receive less.

Why swaps fail

Almost always because the price moved past your slippage. The swap is cancelled and only the network fee is spent. Kata re-quotes and simulates before your wallet opens, so most of these are caught before you send anything.

Seal: your swap receipt

Every swap made through Kata gets a Seal: a public receipt at katafinance.xyz/seal/… with what you sold and what you received (read from the chain), the rate, the Kata fee, and a link to the transaction. It is live for every swap.

• Routes compared: for swaps sent from the Kata app, the Seal lists every route Kata compared when you swapped and how the route you used stacked up. If you picked a route that was not the best, the Seal says so.
• Received vs quoted: the amount that arrived on-chain next to the quote you accepted.
• Swaps made before Seals recorded comparisons show the on-chain amounts only.
• Open it from the “View your Seal” link after a swap, or from Profile → Swaps. Share it on X from the Seal page.

Swap history

Profile → Swaps lists every swap your wallet made through Kata, newest first, each with its Seal. New swaps can take a couple of minutes to appear.
