FAQ

Is Origami non-custodial?

No. Origami trades as principal: you keep custody of your own wallet, but to fill a trade you deposit to the desk, and the desk settles to you. Through that window Origami holds your funds as your counterparty. See Counterparty & custody.

Can I trade across networks?

Yes — that's the core. Sell on one network, settle on another (BTC → USDC, ETH → SOL, USDC on Polygon → ETH on Arbitrum). Sell-side and buy-side legs are independent.

Which networks and assets are supported?

EVM (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, Optimism), Solana, and Bitcoin — gas assets plus majors like USDC and USDT. See Supported markets.

How long does a fill take?

After you deposit, the desk waits for your deposit to clear a safe confirmation depth, then a broker approves and settlement broadcasts. Total time tracks the sell-side network's block times and finality depth — minutes, typically, not seconds.

What does it cost?

A spread priced into your RFQ (you see the exact fill before depositing). You pay your own deposit gas; the desk nets the settlement gas into the quote. OTC block trades carry a desk fee split across sides. See Pricing & fees.

My quote lapsed before I deposited.

Quotes are firm for ~90s. If yours expired, re-quote — the market moves, so the new RFQ reflects current pricing.

I sent the wrong amount.

Deposits match the quote by exact amount. An off-amount send won't auto-settle and must be reconciled manually — reach the desk with your reference ID. Always send exactly what the quote shows.

What if settlement fails?

The trade moves to a Payout failed state and a broker investigates and resolves it. Your deposit is accounted for — hold your reference ID.

Which wallets can I use?

EVM: MetaMask and other injected wallets, plus WalletConnect. Solana: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack. Bitcoin: Xverse, Leather, Phantom.

Do I sign anything to use the OTC desk?

Yes — you sign in with your wallet (a signature, not a transaction; free, moves no funds) so the desk can attribute your orders and fills to your identity.

How do I track a trade?

Every trade carries a public reference ID (e.g. OTC-2026-AB12CD34EF). Use it to pull status anytime, or to reach support.

Is this financial advice?

No. Nothing in Origami Swap or these docs is financial advice. Trade at your own risk.
