Question 1

What is Lattice?

Accepted Answer

Lattice is a post-quantum secure crosschain swap. You send one asset from any of 20+ networks, we route it across the deepest available liquidity, and the asset you chose lands in your wallet on the chain you chose. Every connection to Lattice uses hybrid X25519 + ML-KEM-768 key exchange. There is no account, no sign-up, and we never hold your funds.

Question 2

What does post-quantum secure mean here?

Accepted Answer

A large quantum computer running Shor's algorithm breaks the elliptic-curve math behind today's TLS key exchange and most wallet signatures. Lattice negotiates ML-KEM-768, the lattice-based key encapsulation NIST standardised in FIPS 203, alongside classical X25519. To read a recorded session an attacker has to break both. Browsers that support it (current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari) use it automatically.

Question 3

What is harvest now, decrypt later?

Accepted Answer

Attackers can record encrypted traffic today and store it until quantum hardware can decrypt it. Swap traffic reveals addresses, amounts and timing. Lattice defends on two fronts: the transport is post-quantum, and there is no account or stored identity on our side to leak in the first place.

Question 4

Do I need to create an account or complete KYC?

Accepted Answer

No. Lattice is designed to be used without registration. You pick your pair, paste your receiving address, send your deposit, and track the order with the link you get. For the vast majority of swaps no identity verification is required. In rare cases flagged by our liquidity partners, additional checks may apply. See our AML policy.

Question 5

Which coins and networks are supported?

Accepted Answer

Lattice supports 280+ assets across 20+ networks: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Tron, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, TON and many more. Because we aggregate multiple sources, the list updates in real time. Use the asset selector to search everything currently available.

Question 6

What are Lattice Points?

Accepted Answer

Lattice Points reward you for the volume you swap. Every completed swap earns roughly 0.7 points per dollar, credited to your connected wallet automatically once the order settles. No registration, no claim step. You can see your balance any time on the $LATTICE page by connecting your wallet.

Question 7

Can I choose which venue my order routes through?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The default Auto route compares the whole market and picks the best price, but the Route selector lets you pin an order to a specific venue: Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, Bitget, Gate.io, WhiteBit, BitMart, ChangeNOW, ChangeHero, FixedFloat, or Houdini. Every venue we list is verified working end to end.

Question 8

How does Lattice get me the best rate?

Accepted Answer

For every quote we compare pricing across multiple liquidity providers and exchange networks, then route your order through the path that gives you the most on the other side after all fees. You always see the exact amount you'll receive before you commit. No hidden spread.

Question 9

Does post-quantum security cost extra?

Accepted Answer

No. ML-KEM adds roughly a kilobyte to the connection handshake and nothing to the swap itself. The quote you see is the same quote you would get without it.

Question 10

What is the difference between a floating and a fixed rate?

Accepted Answer

A floating rate follows the market: it can move slightly between the moment you create the order and the moment your deposit confirms, and it usually gives a marginally better price. A fixed rate locks the exchange rate the instant you create the order, so you know the exact amount you'll receive, as long as you deposit within the countdown window.

Question 11

Are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No. The quote you see already includes the network (withdrawal) fee and the service fee, both shown in the order breakdown. The amount displayed under 'You receive' is the amount that arrives in your wallet.

Question 12

Is Lattice custodial? Do you hold my crypto?

Accepted Answer

Lattice is non-custodial by design. Funds pass through the exchange route only for the moment needed to complete your swap and are sent straight to the address you provide. We never store balances, and there is no wallet on Lattice that holds your assets.

Question 13

Why should I receive into a fresh address?

Accepted Answer

Most chains only reveal your public key once an address signs a transaction. Until then the address is a hash, which quantum computers do not meaningfully break. Receiving into an address that has never sent anything keeps its public key off chain, so there is nothing for Shor's algorithm to attack.

Question 14

What happens if something goes wrong with my order?

Accepted Answer

For fixed-rate orders you provide a refund address when you create the order. If the rate window expires, you underpay, or the route can't complete, your deposit is automatically returned there. For floating-rate orders our support team can help resolve any edge cases. Reach out with your order ID.

Question 15

How long does a swap take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the corridor. Stablecoin and EVM swaps usually settle in one to three minutes. Bitcoin and other confirmation-heavy chains are bound by their own block times and can take 10 to 30 minutes. Every quote shows a live estimate before you commit, and your order page tracks it in real time.

Question 16

I sent my deposit. How do I track it?

Accepted Answer

Every order has a live status page with a unique link. Keep that link (or your 8-character order ID) and you can return any time to watch it move from Pending to Confirming, Exchanging, Sending and Completed, with on-chain transaction links for both the deposit and the payout.

Question 17

What if I send less than the minimum?

Accepted Answer

Each pair has a minimum deposit shown on the quote. If you send below it, the exchange may not be able to process the swap and the amount is returned to your refund address (fixed-rate) or handled by support (floating-rate). Always send at least the displayed minimum.
