Functionality & Usage

Houdini Swap is a non-custodial cross-chain swap aggregator.It routes transactions across decentralized exchanges, cross-chain solvers, and selected exchange partners to execute swaps between chains.You select the source token and network, enter the amount, provide a recipient address, and receive a deposit address. Once funds are received, the route executes and the swapped assets are delivered to the recipient.
Standard Swap
Executes through a single routing path. Faster and typically lower cost.Private Swap
Uses an additional routing step to break the direct on-chain link between sender and recipient. This improves privacy but may take longer and cost slightly more.
Funds are received on the source network, routed through the selected liquidity path, and delivered on the destination network. The user does not need to manually bridge and then swap.
Houdini works with multiple liquidity providers and exchange partners. All partners are selected based on reliability, execution quality, and compliance standards.
Using multiple liquidity sources allows:
  • Broader asset coverage
  • Better pricing across routes
  • Optional privacy-focused routing
No. Houdini is non-custodial.
Funds are always handled by the underlying protocol or exchange involved in the selected route.

​
Trust, Safety & Legitimacy

No. Houdini is not a mixer.It does not pool user funds or mix multiple users’ assets together. Each swap is routed individually through selected liquidity providers.
Houdini has been operating for over three years and has processed billions in swap volume. No user funds have ever been lost due to platform failure.As with any blockchain transaction, execution depends on network conditions and underlying liquidity providers.

​
Timing & Delays

Standard swaps typically complete within minutes.Private swaps may take longer due to additional routing steps.
Delays can occur due to:
  • Network congestion
  • Liquidity availability
  • Routing complexity
  • Processing queues on partner platforms
Confirmation only means your deposit was received on-chain. The swap still needs to be processed and delivered.
Yes. Execution time varies depending on network conditions and routing paths.
No. Once initiated, swaps cannot be sped up or repriced.If the swap has been pending for more than one hour, contact support.

​
Errors, Mistakes & Recovery

Please provide:
  • Order ID
  • Deposit transaction hash
  • Sending address
  • Receiving address
If you have not deposited yet, create a new order.If funds were already sent, the address can only be changed if the order has not reached payout stage. Contact support immediately.
In many cases, manual recovery is possible.If the token or network is unsupported, recovery may not be possible and funds could be lost.
It usually means the deposit was made outside the allowed time window. Contact support with your transaction details.
No. Only the first detected deposit is processed.
Additional deposits will be refunded where possible.
No. Once funds are received, execution cannot be cancelled.

​
Privacy & Visibility

Yes. You can send from either an exchange account or a self-custody wallet.
Smart contract wallets are not recommended, as they may cause routing or payout issues.
Private swaps involve off-chain routing steps. There is no single on-chain transaction showing the full path between sender and recipient.
Only minimal data required to process the swap.Order data is automatically deleted 72 hours after completion.
Private mode breaks the on-chain link between sending and receiving addresses.Blockchain activity itself remains public.

​
Fees & Rates

All fees are included in the quoted amount. The amount shown before execution reflects the expected payout.
Price movement and liquidity changes between quote and execution can affect the final amount.
Yes. Private swaps include additional routing steps, which increases cost slightly.
Market volatility and slippage between quote time and execution may cause small differences.

​
Exchange Partner Questions

Some liquidity providers use centralized exchange infrastructure. Payouts may originate from exchange hot wallets.
Partners are selected based on execution quality and compliance standards.
No. Houdini does not control partner compliance processes and cannot override AML or recovery requirements.
Continue following up directly. We will also escalate where possible, but we cannot override partner policies.

​
DEX Delays & Reverts

Liquidity changes or price movement may cause the transaction to revert.
Network congestion and routing conditions can delay execution before a revert occurs.
No. Reverted swaps return funds to the source address.
