Source Tokens New

Source tokens define where a buy is funded from and which asset should receive the proceeds of a sell. QZAR stores them as an ordered preference, so changing the order changes execution intent rather than merely changing how balances are displayed.

The currently documented Solana adapter supports:

Source tokenRole
SOLNative funding or settlement asset
USDCSupported stablecoin funding or settlement asset
USDTSupported stablecoin funding or settlement asset

Source assets can differ between released chain adapters. SOL, USDC, and USDT describe the current Solana implementation, not the limit of the QZAR platform roadmap.

How the order is used

An order such as SOL → USDC → USDT means:

  • For a routed Buy, QZAR starts with SOL and can try later candidates when the execution path supports fallback and the earlier candidate cannot produce an executable route
  • For a Sell, the first source token is the preferred settlement asset; the current execution keeps that first selection instead of trying every remaining token
  • For a direct pool, the preferred source must match the pool pair; selected launchpad routes can use an additional conversion step when supported
  • Each selected wallet is evaluated independently, so one wallet can succeed while another fails because of balance, route, or fee differences
Source order does not combine balances
QZAR does not add partial SOL, USDC, and USDT balances together to fund one trade. A single executable source and route must cover the requested amount and transaction costs.

Change source priority

  1. Open a Buy or Sell trade
  2. In Transaction details, select the editable Source row
  3. Use the up and down controls to reorder SOL, USDC, and USDT
  4. Save the new order and return to the trade
  5. Review the Source row again before execution

The saved order becomes the default source-token display setting for subsequent trades. The active request is updated immediately, but you should still review it after applying a preset or switching between Buy and Sell.

Amounts and available balances

When an amount is entered in USD or SOL terms, QZAR can show the estimated equivalent for each configured source. Those equivalents help compare funding candidates; they do not mean the trade will be split across all three assets.

Before submitting:

  1. Check the selected wallet or wallet group
  2. Confirm that the first intended source has enough balance for the amount and fees
  3. Check whether the selected pool or routed venue supports that source
  4. Confirm the destination source for a Sell
  5. Keep native token available for network and priority costs even when a stablecoin funds the swap
A stablecoin balance does not guarantee a route
A source can have sufficient balance and still be unusable because the pool pair, router, token restrictions, slippage, or liquidity may not satisfy the request.
