Important:
MoonPay charges a processing fee (typically around 3–4%).
Be sure to add a buffer to your amount so that SWAPD receives the correct total after fees are deducted.

Step 4: Paste the SWAPD Wallet Address
MoonPay will prompt you for a wallet address.
Paste the wallet address provided by SWAPD in the ticket payment instructions.

Copy and paste this TXID into your SWAPD ticket or conversation to confirm payment.
