# How It Works (At a Glance)

A concise overview of how Husher routes trades from your wallet to final delivery without taking custody

Husher operates as an intelligent routing layer between your wallet and centralized-exchange liquidity. It queries providers, selects the best execution path, and coordinates delivery to your destination address. At no point does Husher hold your funds.

{% hint style="info" %}
In simple terms: your funds move directly from wallet to execution to destination. Husher only orchestrates the routing.

### The four steps of every swap

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### You choose what to exchange and where to receive it

Select a source asset and amount, choose an execution mode (Float, Fixed, or Private), and enter your destination wallet address. No account or KYC is required to reach this step.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Husher queries multiple Exchange Service Providers

The smart-routing engine compares available providers in real time, evaluating price, liquidity, and execution reliability. You see the best available quote before confirming.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Your trade executes against deep centralized-exchange liquidity

Funds move from your wallet to a one-time deposit address controlled by the selected Exchange Service Provider. The trade executes against spot liquidity on the provider's exchange. Husher never holds the assets.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Output is delivered directly to your wallet

Once execution completes, the output asset is sent straight to the destination address you provided. A shareable, read-only receipt is generated as execution proof.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### No custody. No internal balances.

There are no Husher-held wallets, no pooled funds, and no internal balance sheet. You remain in full control at all times.
