When a wallet changes swap providers: what to recheck

When a familiar swap provider changes, review the next authorization as a new decision. A remembered interface, saved template or old approval does not prove that the current route uses the same contract, fee or order mechanism.

Classify the change

A brand change is different from a contract update, a new mode or a hosted-service shutdown. Velora’s current site identifies its ParaSwap history; OKX’s changelog records router updates; Odos’s official notice ends its hosted trading service. These events have different consequences for a returning user.

For a rebrand, follow the current official links and inspect the product version. For a router update, compare the newly requested spender with the deployment reference. For a shutdown, stop treating old API documentation as an available service.

Recheck the decision points

• The exact account, network and token contracts.
• The selected execution mode and required signatures.
• The service fee and minimum delivery condition.
• Any old order still capable of filling.
• Permissions left on a contract you no longer intend to use.

These checks matter even if balances and branding look unchanged. A saved allowance is tied to a spender, while an unexpired order can survive the browser session that created it.

Interface changes can move the review step

The current 1inch interface guide says the redesigned flow removes a separate confirmation screen and places a summary in the signing modal. A user relying on the old screen sequence could otherwise click through before completing the review they intended.

Use the provider’s current instructions for the selected interface. Do not assume a redesign changes the protocol, or assume the protocol is unchanged simply because the redesign seems cosmetic. Identify the actual change and preserve the relevant transaction or order references before switching to a replacement provider.
