What is a private swap route

A private swap route keeps quote discovery offchain first, which changes how users evaluate availability and execution.

1Private routes describe an offchain-first quote model, not a blanket privacy claim.
2They are useful when provider-backed route discovery is available for the pair.
3Users still need to verify destination asset, network, and route caveats before execution.

Short answer: a private swap route is an offchain quote path surfaced by MindSwap before any same-network onchain DEX execution is required.

Definition

Private routes are designed for quote discovery and routed execution flows where the first step is provider comparison rather than immediate onchain wallet signing. They can be useful when you want to compare supported route options without broadcasting an onchain intent first.

When to use a private route

When you want to compare supported quote options quickly.
When the pair is provider-backed rather than direct same-network DEX execution.
When you want a routed exchange-style flow before funds are sent.

When not to use it

When you specifically want a direct same-network onchain DEX route.
When the route details are unclear and you cannot verify destination network or asset.
When the provider-backed route is unavailable for your pair.

Example

If you are moving from one asset into another across supported networks, MindSwap may first show a provider-backed route family rather than a same-network DEX path. That is a sign the execution context is different and should be reviewed carefully.
