The swap is carried out by an independent exchanger and the deposit address above is theirs. joelube.xyz never holds, receives or controls your funds, has no key to that address, and earns a referral commission. Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms, fees and country restrictions before sending anything.

When working with native assets on Cardano, you will encounter three distinct identifiers: the fingerprint, the policy ID, and the asset name. Each serves a different purpose in identifying and tracking tokens. The fingerprint is a human-readable checksum, the policy ID identifies the minting policy

Your trade happens inside the exchange's own ledger. Nothing touches the blockchain until you withdraw.
You swap from your own wallet. The transaction settles on the chain and you pay its fee.
