What does Sato Swap not do?
It never holds keys, signs, broadcasts, prices a token, models depth or reviews a venue. A verdict is a dated reading and a receipt records a decision, not a settlement, as of 2026-09-15.
The boundary, written down where it can be checked rather than left to be inferred. Every row is a property of the code or a rule the code enforces — none of it is a posture a configuration change could quietly reverse.
| What it does not do | Why |
|---|---|
| It does not custody, sign or broadcast | By construction rather than by policy. There is no key in the path and no mode that submits a transaction to a chain. |
| It does not price a token | No USD figure is produced. A notional cap bites only when the requester supplied a price it already held, and an unknown notional stays unknown. |
| It does not model depth or price impact | Quoted output is the sixth signal in the ladder, and the venue's own quote is the only price statement on the response. |
| It does not review a venue, a token or a counterparty | A verdict is a reading on a date. A Passport is self-registered, and wallet_verified proves control of a key rather than anything about the product behind it. |
| It publishes no list of trusted counterparties | There is no such list and there will not be one. no_record is the ordinary case for an address and is never a finding against it. |
| intent-post does not exist | It is the one mode that would move Sato Hub from handing back an unsigned object to relaying a signed one. That is a different product with a different set of obligations, and it is not built. |
| A receipt is not settlement | It records what we returned and what was checked — not that a fee landed, a trade filled, or that anyone authorised a transfer. Receipts are never summed into a volume figure. |
| A simulation is not a promise | It is a reading at one block. Nothing here asserts what the next block does. |
How this was answered
The boundary asserted across lib/swap/execute.ts, lib/route/adapters/types.ts and lib/route/receipts.ts, stated as a list rather than left to be inferred from what the other pages do not mention.
Every answer on this page is produced by one named function over Sato Hub's live records on the date shown. Nothing is typed by hand, no figure is carried over from a previous day, and an answer with nothing behind it says unknown rather than zero. The Sato Score measures how open, active and verifiable a project is — it is not a safety, quality or returns grade.
