Trades run on decentralised exchanges on Base and settle straight from your own wallet, approved with your passkey. Moneda never takes custody of your assets.

You are quoted a price before you confirm. Bitcoin and Ethereum trades carry a minimum amount you will receive: if the price moves past it while the trade is being processed, the trade is cancelled on-chain and is not filled at a worse price.

Any fee Moneda charges is shown as its own line, "Moneda fee", before you commit. Depending on your plan, some trades are commission-free.
