Swaps: rates, fees and cross-chain timing

How a swap works

Choose the coin and network you have, and the coin and network you want. Dbanq finds a route: on the same network, or across networks when the two are different. A swap across networks is often called cross-chain.

What you see before you approve

• The rate, and the amount you will receive.
• The fees, including network costs.
• The estimated time to complete.

Quotes can expire. If a quote runs out before you approve, Dbanq asks you to confirm a new one.

While a swap completes

A swap on one network usually completes quickly. A cross-chain swap can take a few minutes. Until the coins arrive, the amount shows as pending, and it is not available to spend.

Rates can move until a swap completes. Check the amount you will receive before you approve.

Good to know

• Swaps cannot normally be reversed once complete.
• If a route fails, the funds return or stay pending until the swap completes or is refunded.
• Costs depend on the route and the networks involved.
