  "keyQuestions": [
    "Can AI verify a token contract before a crypto swap?",
    "Why can chatbots misread token risk?",
    "Is the ticker enough to identify a token?",
    "What should I avoid pasting into AI before checking a token?",
    "Should I check the token before or after getting a quote?",
    "How can I reduce wrong-network risk before swapping a token?"
  ],
  "quickSteps": [
    "Identify the chain first, because the same ticker can appear on different networks and route support depends on the selected chain.",
    "Verify the contract source for non-native tokens using official project references, trusted explorers, and the token selector in the live swap interface.",
    "Compare route support before opening a timed quote, including input asset, network, destination asset, limits, and wallet compatibility.",
    "Check wallet prompts and approvals carefully, especially if the token requires permission before a swap.",
    "Stop before sending if the ticker, contract, network, route, or wallet facts do not match; refresh the quote only after the token identity is clear."

  "issueRouting": {
    "start": "The user wants to use AI to understand a token before a crypto swap without relying on the chatbot as the final source of truth.",
    "branches": [
      {
        "if": "The ticker looks familiar but the chain or contract is unclear",
        "then": [
          "Identify the exact network where the token is held.",
          "Check the contract source through official references and trusted explorers.",
          "Avoid opening or sending to a timed quote until token identity is clear."
        ]
      },
      {
        "if": "The token is real but route support is uncertain",
        "then": [
          "Compare the input asset, network, destination asset, limits, and wallet compatibility.",
          "Use the live swap interface to confirm route support.",
          "Do not rely on a chatbot explanation of the ticker alone."
        ]
      },
      {
        "if": "Funds have already been sent or the route state has changed",
        "then": [
          "Stop asking general token questions and check the visible route status.",
          "Confirm the source-chain transaction and route stage.",
          "Share only narrow support details if escalation is needed."
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "riskNotes": [
    "A ticker is only a label; for non-native tokens, the contract address and network identify the asset.",
    "AI may rely on old or incomplete information about migrations, contract upgrades, delistings, bridge changes, or route support.",
    "A wallet can display a token even when the swap route does not support that exact asset or network.",
    "Full screenshots can expose balances, wallet labels, browser extensions, partial addresses, route identifiers, and unrelated assets.",
    "A quote timer should be used for execution after verification, not for researching token identity under pressure."
