  "quickSteps": [
    "Prepare the sending wallet and receiving wallet before opening the fixed quote.",

    "Read the quote timer as a condition of the offer, not as a decoration.",
    "Send only when the wallet’s final transaction details match the fixed quote.",
    "Stop and create a fresh quote if the timer, network, amount, or address no longer matches."

  },
  "riskNotes": [
    "A fixed rate locks the quote under stated conditions; it does not fix late deposits, wrong networks, or wrong addresses.",
    "The quote timer is part of the fixed-rate offer and should not be treated as a visual detail.",
    "A token ticker alone is not enough because the same ticker can exist on different networks.",
    "Wallet fees can change the final amount sent, so the actual outgoing amount must be checked before confirming.",
    "Support requests should use narrow public transaction facts, not seed phrases, private keys, backups, or remote access."
