  "riskNotes": [
    "A crypto swap fee can include source wallet cost, route pricing, liquidity spread, payout cost, and timing effects.",
    "A market chart price does not include the full wallet-to-wallet execution path.",
    "Low source network fees can increase timing uncertainty if the transaction confirms too slowly.",
    "A quote that has expired may no longer describe the active route cost or expected output.",
    "Splitting a swap into too many parts can multiply source fees, route checks, and payout costs."
