Wallets & interfaces

Finding the execution provider behind a wallet quote

Find the interface, quote provider and execution path from their own evidence. A wallet name or contract label alone cannot identify the whole route.

To identify who handled a wallet swap, preserve three layers: where you requested the quote, which provider the interface selected, and what the signed transaction or order did. No single logo necessarily identifies all three.

Where interfaces expose the evidence

InterfaceUseful location
PhantomProvider settings and Pricing details before confirmation
Uniswap web appOrder routing field and route-information icon
Trezor SuiteMatched provider, exchange type and Trade ID
OKX webPortfolio, DEX orders and linked explorer records

These locations are documented in Phantom settings, Uniswap’s screen guide, Trezor Suite and OKX’s web guide.

What onchain evidence can and cannot show

A token approval identifies permission to a spender. It is not proof of which application later generated a quote. A transaction target can identify a settlement contract while leaving the frontend origin ambiguous.

The 0x FAQ explicitly notes that onchain data alone does not uniquely identify every transaction as originating from its API: the settlement contract can also process non-API transactions. Avoid claiming more attribution than the evidence supports.

A useful record

Save the quote’s provider label, selected mode, timestamp and order reference together with the confirmed transaction. For cross-chain swaps, add the underlying bridge and destination record. A screenshot taken before approval can preserve details that the final portfolio history omits.

This record helps compare repeated trades and direct support requests to the right party. It also prevents a common fee mistake: assigning an interface’s fee to the wallet merely because that wallet displayed the signing prompt. Attribute each cost and action to the service that actually supplied it.
