Quick Start - FX Rate Slippage Warning

What Was Built

A production-ready FX rate slippage warning system for SwiftChain escrow payments that:

• Monitors NGN/XLM rate volatility in real-time
• Warns users when rates shift > 2%
• Blocks payment submission if rates shift > 5% without explicit acknowledgment
• Tests: 30 passing unit tests (100% success)

How to Use

1. In Your Payment Flow

import { FiatXlmPreview } from '@/components/escrow/FiatXlmPreview';

export function PaymentConfirmation({ xlmAmount, quotedNgnAmount }) {
  const [currentRate, setCurrentRate] = useState(1000);

  return (
    <FiatXlmPreview
      xlmAmount={xlmAmount}
      quotedNgnAmount={quotedNgnAmount}
      currentRate={currentRate}
      onConfirm={() => submitPayment()}
      onCancel={() => goBack()}
    />
  );
}

2. Direct Hook Usage

import { useFiatXlmSlippage } from '@/hooks/useFiatXlmSlippage';

export function CustomPaymentUI() {
  const slippage = useFiatXlmSlippage();

  useEffect(() => {
    slippage.startQuote(initialRate);
    return () => slippage.stopQuote();
  }, [initialRate]);

  return (
    <div>
      {slippage.requiresAcknowledgment && (
        <AlertBox>
          <input
            type="checkbox"
            checked={slippage.isAcknowledged}
            onChange={(e) => slippage.setAcknowledged(e.target.checked)}
          />
          Acknowledge volatility
        </AlertBox>
      )}
      <button disabled={slippage.requiresAcknowledgment && !slippage.isAcknowledged}>
        Confirm
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

Slippage Behavior

Movement	Display	Action
<2%	No warning	Confirm freely
2-5%	⚠️ Warning	Confirm with awareness
>5%	🔴 Critical + Checkbox	Must acknowledge
