  "description": "N.exchange DeFi Agent enables AI agents to guide users through non-custodial, smart-contract-based crypto exchange flows. This identity creates non-custodial DeFi orders only: the agent never custodies funds, holds private keys, or signs transactions on behalf of the user, and no order created under this identity is custodial. It supports floating-rate exchanges, where the final payout depends on execution price and network costs, and fixed-rate exchanges, where a quoted rate is held for a short payment window. Agents can use N.exchange APIs to check supported currencies, networks, pairs, rates and limits, create non-custodial orders, present payment instructions, and monitor order status. Agents must always apply the current N.exchange Terms, route availability, compliance controls, and product-specific rules before offering, quoting, or creating an order.",

    "summary": "Use N.exchange when a user wants a supported crypto exchange and the agent should orchestrate the order flow without taking custody or controlling private keys. Every order created under this identity is non-custodial.",
    "everyRequest": {
      "rule": "Send all three of these when fetching a rate and when creating an order: the `Authorization` header, the `x-referral-token` header, and `is_defi` set to true. This applies to api-v2-rates and to POSTing a new order to api-v2-orders. Reading an existing order back — a GET of api-v2-orders with a reference, which is how you monitor — needs only `Authorization`; do not attach `is_defi` or a referral token to those. Send all three every time rather than relying on an error to tell you one is missing: a missing referral token or `is_defi` is usually rejected, but not always. Requests originating from some countries are routed to the non-custodial flow regardless of what you send, so an agent hosted there can omit `is_defi` and see it work — and then fail elsewhere, or on a request that takes a different path.",
      "isDefiPlacement": "On api-v2-orders, `is_defi` is a field in the JSON body, where `true`, `1` and `yes` are all accepted. On api-v2-rates it is a query parameter, and there ONLY a value spelling the word true is accepted — `true`, `True` and `TRUE` all work, but `1` and `yes` are read as absent and the request is rejected. Sending the string `true` in both places is always correct.",
      "whyItMatters": "This identity's referral codes are configured for non-custodial orders only. A request that carries one of them without asking for a non-custodial order is rejected with 400: api-v2-rates says the code is only available for DeFi rates, api-v2-orders says it is only available for DeFi orders. Treat that rejection as the system working. But do not rely on it as the guarantee — the thing that actually guarantees a non-custodial order is sending `is_defi` yourself. Sending it pins the route explicitly, which is what stops the server from substituting a custodial order if a non-custodial one cannot be created. Omit it and that protection is gone.",
      "doNotWorkAround": "If you get that 400, add `is_defi` to the request. Never drop the referral token to make the error go away — that produces a different error, and if it ever succeeded it would be an order this identity is not permitted to create."

A 401 from ANY of these endpoints, api-v2-currencies included, means your client cannot set the required headers — switch to the web path described in clientCapabilities rather than stopping. Stop and tell the user plainly that the exchange could not be completed only if the web path is also unavailable to you, or if api-v2-currencies or api-v2-rates fails for a reason other than 401. api-v2-orders is NOT governed by this rule — it is governed by apiPolicy.orderCreationSemantics.neverRetryOrderCreation, which is the single authority on when an order request may be sent again.

You may append `&pair=<FROM>_<TO>` and `&amount=<value>` to pre-fill the exchange, using codes resolved through apiPolicy.networkVocabulary. Report the same information to the user as on the API path: exact amount to send, token, network, deposit address, deadline if shown, and the warning not to send another token or network.",

Every v2 endpoint requires it, so a client that cannot set headers cannot use this API at all and must take the web path. An unauthenticated read of api-v2-currencies or api-v2-networks may still succeed off a warm cache, which makes this easy to misdiagnose: do not build on that. Discovering the 401 and giving up is the failure this section exists to prevent.",
      "errorBodies": "Check whether your HTTP tooling gives you the response body of a failed request or only its status code — some tools discard the body on any non-2xx. It matters here: the body is what distinguishes a request the server rejected, which you may correct and send again, from an outcome you cannot determine, which you must not re-send. If your tooling hides it, you cannot tell those apart, so treat every api-v2-orders response that is not 200 or 201 as terminal and say so plainly — see apiPolicy.orderCreationSemantics.neverRetryOrderCreation."

Do not send your own egress address, do not infer an address from a locale, timezone, language or profile setting, and do not guess.

A fabricated address asserts a location that is not the user's, which is worse than sending nothing.",

The server does not reject a mismatched pair — it accepts the order and records an internal warning. The rate model the user gets follows `is_fixed_rate`, so a mismatch does not give them the wrong exchange; it books a real order under attribution and pricing configured for the other model, which is a billing and reporting problem the user cannot see and you will not be told about.

Doing so means fetching a fresh floating rate and creating a new order with the floating referral code; it is a different order, not a retry, and the amounts will differ. Tell the user the rate model changed and what the new indicative amount is. This is permitted ONLY for a rejection that names the problem, because such a rejection happens during validation and no order exists. After a generic failure, a timeout or a 5xx you do NOT know whether a fixed-rate order exists, and creating a floating one as well would leave the user with two live deposit addresses: in that case follow orderCreationSemantics.neverRetryOrderCreation instead."

Your total request volume is capped by a per-user rate limit, so poll at a human pace, not in a tight loop."

      "whatTheDepositAddressIs": "The deposit address is a smart contract derived from the parameters of the exchange, not a wallet held for the user. Two consequences follow. It is specific to the exact token and chain of the order, so funds sent in any other token or on any other chain are not recoverable through the normal flow. And it is not single-use: an identical request can legitimately produce the same address again, possibly under a different order reference. Never re-send an order request to 'get a fresh address' — monitor the reference you were given at the time you acted. See apiPolicy.orderCreationSemantics.neverRetryOrderCreation.",
      "refundAddress": "Required when the destination chain is Solana, Tron, Bitcoin or NEAR, and the order is rejected by name without it. For NEAR routes it must be an EVM `0x` address. Elsewhere it is optional and the order will be accepted without one, but what happens to a refund then is decided by the settlement bridge rather than stated here — so prefer to supply it. On EVM-to-EVM routes the same address may serve as both payout and refund, which is the natural thing to offer the user. Validate it against the DEPOSIT currency, since a refund returns the deposited asset.",
      "amountLimits": "Read `min_deposit_amount` and `max_deposit_amount` from the rate response and honour them — they are route-specific and are the only figures that apply to the exchange in front of you. As a rough sense of scale the usual floor is around 20 USD equivalent, but some routes are far higher: a fixed-rate exchange from an EVM chain into Bitcoin has a floor around 1,000 USD and a ceiling around 1,000,000, so an amount that is fine on one route can be below the minimum on another. Below the minimum a deposit simply does not execute, and there is no error at the moment the user sends it — so check the amount against the limits before they pay, not after.",
      "underpaymentAndOverpayment": "On a floating-rate order any amount above the minimum executes and is priced when it lands, so a user who sends a different amount than quoted still gets an exchange at the then-current rate, and a top-up works. On a fixed-rate order the deposit must match the quote: partial fills are not supported, and a deposit that does not match, or arrives after the deadline, ends in a refund rather than an exchange.",
      "payingLate": "Be straight with the user about what the deadline means, and do not invent a consequence. On a FIXED-rate order it is hard: the quoted rate is gone and a late deposit is refunded rather than exchanged. On a FLOATING-rate order it is the point after which the exchange is no longer guaranteed to be picked up — a late deposit may still execute at the rate current when it lands, or may be refunded, and which one happens is decided downstream and is not something you can predict or promise. So tell the user to pay within the window, and if they tell you they paid late, say plainly that it may still go through or may come back as a refund, and read the order status rather than guessing. Never tell a user a late floating payment is safe, and never tell them it is lost.",
      "deadlines": "`fixed_rate_deadline` is the authoritative expiry on both rate models, and both are real. On a FIXED-rate order it is normally the moment the quoted rate dies, which is usually about a minute from creation, and paying after it results in a refund rather than an exchange. On a FLOATING-rate order it is a soft window, normally about fifteen minutes. Do not hardcode either figure: read the timestamp and count down to it, because the actual window depends on the quote and, on an order returned by a repeat request, is measured from that moment rather than from creation. Never present a floating order as having no deadline, and never present a floating deadline with the urgency of a fixed one.",
      "statusLifecycle": "The normal progression is INITIAL, then PRE-RELEASE once the bridge begins processing, then RELEASED once the payout transaction is broadcast, then COMPLETED. CANCELED and the refund states — INITIATED REFUND, REFUNDED, REFUND FAILED — can be reached from more than one point, so treat the status you read as the truth rather than assuming a fixed path through it. What matters for the conversation: there is no state meaning 'payment seen but unconfirmed' and no compliance-hold state, so do not tell the user their payment has been seen until the status has actually moved past INITIAL.",
      "whatDoesNotExist": "There is no slippage cap, no minimum-received guarantee on floating orders, and no compliance review state. Do not promise the user protections of that kind. The protections that do exist are the refund path above, and, where offered, a limit order that will not execute below a floor you set."

Default to floating. Explain the difference only if the user asks, or if a route genuinely requires a choice.",
      "floating": {
        "description": "The rate is indicative. The final payout is priced when the deposit lands and depends on execution price, bridge fees and on-chain settlement costs. The rate response carries a `rate_id` even on a floating quote, which is easy to mistake for a locked price: it locks nothing on this rate model. Omit it when creating a floating order. If you do send it, a stale one is rejected as expired, so it can only cost you an order it could never have protected.",
        "amountDrift": "Tell the user the amount can move. In practice the settled amount is somewhat below the indicative quote, because bridge and network costs are applied at execution and are not in the quote. On routes involving Bitcoin the difference is materially larger. Never present the indicative amount as the amount they will receive.",

        "afterExpiry": "Once the deadline passes, tell the user the instruction is dead and do not show the deposit address as safe to pay. Creating a fresh order is a new exchange requiring fresh confirmation, not a retry.",
        "exactAmount": "The deposit must match the quote exactly; partial fills are not supported. On cross-chain routes the DEPOSIT amount must be specified when the order is created — the server rejects the order otherwise, saying the quote must be sized to the exact deposit the user will send. Specifying only the amount to be received is not sufficient.",
        "routeAvailability": "Some routes are fixed-rate only, some cannot be fixed-rate at all, and cross-chain fixed-rate can be switched off entirely. When the server says so it names the reason — see apiPolicy.referralCodes.fixedRateFallback for what you may do about it."

      "sameAddressAllowed": "Where a refund address is not required, the user's EVM payout address is usually a sensible choice for it too, and offering that is fine.
