Cetus exchange profile

A swap requires the selected coin types, amount, slippage setting and wallet confirmation. The guide’s 1% example is illustrative, not a universal appropriate tolerance. Exact-input execution constrains the minimum received; exact-output execution constrains the maximum sold. A quoted price can change before execution, and a successful blockchain transaction must be distinguished from merely receiving a quote.[3][4]

For limit orders, choosing Market fills the price field; it does not guarantee immediate execution. Full fills deliver the purchased tokens to the wallet. Partial-fill proceeds can remain on chain until claimed. Cancellation returns the unfilled input and purchased amount together, while expiry cancels the remaining quantity. The open-order progress bar helps identify which part of the instruction still has authority.[5]

A CLMM range position can resemble a limit order when placed on one side of the market, but crossing its range does not finalize a sale. If it remains open and the market reverses, the assets can trade back. Withdrawal is the step that ends that liquidity exposure. A range-based strategy therefore needs a separate exit decision even when its intended price has already been reached.[6]

DCA quotes bind the input coin, interval in seconds, cycle count and maximum input per cycle. The contract rejects an invalid or expired quote. Per-cycle minimum and maximum output bounds further constrain execution. The public example’s zero fee is a sample response, not an established permanent tariff; use the quote’s actual fee and configured minimum interval/count.[7]

The CLMM protocol takes 20% of the collected swap fee by default; the remaining 80% goes to active liquidity providers. This is a division of the fee, not a 20% charge on trade notional. For a 1,000 USDC input at 0.30%, the fee is 3 USDC: 0.60 USDC protocol and 2.40 USDC LP share, before gas or other route costs. Fees accrue separately and can be claimed without removing liquidity; they do not automatically compound.[8]

The DLMM volatility component decays when trading quietens and resets after the configured decay period. That timer controls a pool’s fee model; it is not a personal account inactivity charge or deactivation rule. An out-of-range position can remain economically exposed despite earning little or no current fee income.[9]

Aggregator integrations can add an overlay fee across all route types. The published ceiling is 10%, with zero as the SDK default; this ceiling is not the usual retail rate. The overlay is included when calculating the output used for slippage checks and is sent to the configured recipient on each execution. A separate partner fee is restricted to Cetus pools and requires the partner’s claim capability.[10]

The October 2026 terms allow execution surplus, price improvement or rebates to be retained or allocated by the applicable service’s execution logic, without reducing the transaction’s selected protection. Favourable execution therefore does not necessarily all reach the trader.[11]

Cetus Margin accepts base or quote collateral, with a documented minimum value of $5 and leverage starting at 1.1×. Maximum leverage depends on the market and lending conditions. Its guide does not establish a complete current borrowing-rate curve, liquidation penalty or universal maximum; those live position parameters remain necessary to price a trade. Pool swap fees alone are an incomplete margin-cost estimate.[12]

Sponsored Sui transactions let a separate sponsor supply the gas payment. Both user and sponsor sign the same complete transaction bytes before submission. That mechanism does not give the sponsor ownership of the user’s input coins, and it is not a universal promise of free gas on the ordinary website. Without sponsorship, the transaction still needs an available gas payment.[13]

The inspected wallet and protocol guides do not establish a Cetus-operated bank deposit or cash-withdrawal service. Realizing fiat requires a separately available provider; any transfer to it must use the exact network, token and receiving instructions it accepts. A protocol withdrawal first restores crypto to wallet control rather than initiating a bank payment.[14][15]

The CLMM NFT proves ownership of a particular range position and is needed to collect its fees and mining rewards. A displayed dollar valuation does not fix the tokens that withdrawal will return. As price leaves the chosen range the position becomes one-sided and stops participating in trades; moving the NFT to another contract can also change who can invoke its owner-dependent functions.[16]

The published CLMM configuration interface defines role-based controls, including pool managers and an administrator capability that can assign roles and update the package version. Those interface definitions establish the existence of administrative functions, but do not identify every current production key holder or prove a particular live multisig threshold.[17]

Its pool interface includes pause and unpause functions; its documentation says a paused pool disables other operations. This can affect exits as well as swaps. A user-controlled signing key does not guarantee uninterrupted access to funds deposited in such a contract. Current deployed authority and the specific pool’s state must be considered separately from ownership of the position NFT.[18]

The recovery wallet established for the 2025 exploit had a 4-of-6 arrangement: two keys each for Cetus, Sui Foundation and OtterSec. The approved chain intervention was limited to two specified recovery transactions from the attacker addresses. These exceptional controls should not be described as a standing ability to recover arbitrary users’ lost keys or as today’s administrative threshold for every Cetus pool.[19]

Wallet security is the user’s responsibility; the terms establish no support restoration of a lost signing key.[11]

A margin position’s current loan-to-value ratio must stay below its liquidation threshold. The position view supports adding collateral, reducing leverage, repaying debt, changing exposure and closing. Monitor the actual loan conditions as well as the asset price; an estimated liquidation price does not guarantee execution at that price during stress.[12]

The audit index separates CLMM, DLMM, vault, farming, limit-order and token reviews, including post-incident CLMM reviews in June, July and September 2025. An audit listing does not establish that every current package or outside integration has identical coverage. No universal insurance payout, per-user insured balance or deposit compensation entitlement was established.[20]

The legal disclaimer’s United States, Canada and China restrictions concern participation in token distributions and related identity checks. They should not be silently converted into a definitive, current country matrix for every secondary-market swap. The inspected current materials do not provide a complete product-by-product territory and verification schedule. Access also remains subject to applicable local law.[21]

The main site’s Aptos link points to the separate v1 interface, while current developer instructions are explicitly Sui-oriented. A supported wallet connection does not establish identical order types, active pools, margin products or recovery arrangements on both networks. Select the intended chain and product before relying on a familiar feature name.[1][22]

A support request should identify the network, wallet address, transaction digest, pool or order object and observed state. Do not treat a quote, a wallet signature prompt and a confirmed execution as the same event. The reviewed channels establish no emergency telephone dealing service, authority for staff to trade a user’s position, or guaranteed response time.[14]

The SDK can retrieve limit-order operation logs by order ID and DCA execution history for individual cycles. These records support reconciliation of an instruction with its actual fills. They do not themselves constitute a complete tax statement: preserve wallet transfers, LP additions/removals, reward claims and acquisition costs from other services. A comprehensive native CSV export was not established in the inspected documentation.[23][24]

BVI law applies; disputes go to SIAC arbitration in Singapore. No complaint-response deadline is specified.[11]

The disclaimer says regulatory authorities have not approved its published materials. It does not supply a licensed-exchange permission or investor-compensation scheme for the service. CETUS ownership is not company equity, a deposit or a contractual right to company assets; the token disclaimer also disclaims a company obligation to redeem it for cash.[21]

The agreement updated 19 October 2026 names Cetus Technology Limited. It covers on-chain services and supporting off-chain systems; it does not state the company’s incorporation jurisdiction. Its USD 200 liability cap is a contractual limitation, not insurance.[11]

The October 2026 Safe Harbor covers qualifying whitehat rescue during active exploits, separately from ordinary bug-bounty reporting.[11]

Current xCETUS documentation allocates net CLMM protocol profit after third-party commissions equally between stakers and Sui Foundation loan repayment. For DLMM, it allocates 25% to stakers, 25% to protocol income and 50% to loan repayment. These published allocations should not be represented as evidence that the loan is fully repaid. Governance is described as a future function once at least 90% of CETUS is circulating.[25]

CLMM mining distributes incentives according to fee contribution from active liquidity. Merely depositing a large amount does not ensure the same reward share as maintaining useful in-range capital. Reward programmes, claimed fee income and changes in the position’s underlying token value should be assessed separately; an advertised annualized rate is not a fixed yield on a bank balance.[26]

Aggregator SDK 1.7.5, dated 15 October 2026, adds pool inclusion and exclusion filters across all hops and splits; exclusions take precedence. The production instructions direct V3 users to router_v3/find_routes and warn that V2 and older versions are to be deprecated. Updating a routing SDK is a software compatibility change, not an automatic movement of the user’s position NFTs.[27][22]

The published contract registry distinguishes CLMM, DCA, farming, limit orders, vaults and xCETUS packages. A developer should resolve the current package and version for the intended function. Separate SDK methods build owner-authorized cancellation and claim transactions; having a public quote URL does not provide the private key needed to execute them.[28][29]

Cetus Terminal embeds the aggregator within another application and uses a wallet-provider integration. A host application can add its own presentation and routing settings; that does not make it the Cetus-operated website. The reviewed Cetus documentation establishes SDK-based automation, but did not establish a separate first-party AI service entrusted with discretionary control of user assets. An external agent’s powers depend on its actual signer and approved transactions.[30]
