When you cash out with Zedkr Cash, your selected asset must be converted and routed into Base USDC before it can enter Peer’s non-custodial escrow for settlement.
Uniswap handles the asset conversion, while Relay handles the routing between Robinhood Chain and Base. The costs associated with these services are included in your cash-out quote and shown before you confirm the transaction.

Assets with lower liquidity may experience greater price impact or slippage than assets with deeper liquidity.
How can slippage affect the conversion?
Slippage is the difference between the expected conversion price and the price available when the transaction is completed.
For assets with limited liquidity, slippage can reach 15%. In extreme market conditions, the total cost of a cash-out, including the protocol fee, Relay fee and conversion effects, can reach 20%.
All estimated costs are displayed before you confirm the transaction.
If the estimated payout is lower than expected, you can close the confirmation screen without completing Slide to confirm.

Why does the conversion cost sometimes show $0?
The conversion line may show $0 when the quoted conversion cost rounds to zero or no separate conversion charge applies to the available route.
This does not mean that the exchange rate or available liquidity has no effect on the amount you receive. The quoted output still reflects the live conversion route and current market conditions.

Do I need extra funds for gas?
No. You only need to fund your Para wallet with the amount you want to sell.
Zedkr covers the gas required for the Zedkr Cash cash-out transaction. You do not need to keep an additional ETH balance in your Para wallet for cash-out gas.
If you transfer an asset into your Para wallet from another wallet, the sending wallet may require its own network fee. That transfer is separate from the Zedkr Cash transaction.

Is $ZED cashback deducted from the fees?

You can claim your cashback from the Cashback tab and send it to your Para wallet.

Does either Zedkr or Relay take custody of my funds?
No. Zedkr Cash is non-custodial.
Zedkr provides the interface used to create and track the cash-out. Your Para wallet authorizes the transaction, Uniswap performs the conversion and Relay routes the funds into Base USDC.
The Base USDC then enters Peer’s non-custodial escrow while a buyer sends the fiat payment directly to your selected payout account. Peer verifies the payment before releasing the USDC.
Zedkr never receives, holds or controls your crypto or fiat funds.
