# High-Level Architecture

The five-step path from wallet to executed swap, with Husher acting as orchestrator but never custodian

Husher sits between your wallet and a network of third-party execution providers. It orchestrates the swap flow only; it never touches or controls your crypto.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a swap and receive a deposit address

You configure the swap on the web app or Telegram bot. Husher requests a unique, one-time deposit address from the selected Exchange Service Provider.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Send funds directly from your wallet

You send the input asset from your own wallet to the one-time address. This address is controlled by the ESP, not by Husher.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Husher monitors confirmations and execution conditions

Husher watches the deposit in real time. Execution begins as soon as network-specific confirmation thresholds are met.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### The ESP executes the trade against CEX spot liquidity

The Exchange Service Provider performs the swap using centralized-exchange depth from providers such as Binance, Bybit, and OKX.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Output is withdrawn directly to your destination wallet(s)

The output asset is sent straight to the destination address you specified. No Husher hop, no intermediate custody.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The dashed line from Husher to the ESP represents monitoring only. Husher observes confirmation status and execution progress but has no ability to redirect or hold assets.
