Cryptocurrency Exchange Process
The processing speed ranges from about two to twenty minutes, depending on how long it takes for a block to happen in the network. Most orders process in just a few minutes. If the transaction is large (more than 1 BTC or equivalent), processing it may take a little longer, depending on the size of your transaction and the capacity of the block. We boast the highest exchange speeds on the market thanks to our revolutionary trading algorithms.
Cryptocurrency wallet address is a unique combination of numbers and letters ranging from 26 to 35 characters in length. It usually looks something like this: 17bkZPLB4Wn6F347PLZBR34ijhzQDUFZ4ZC.
When you decide which crypto coin you would like to acquire, find a reliable wallet. Each cryptocurrency has an official one. When you create a wallet, you automatically get an address and a private key. Keep your private key to yourself and don’t show it to anyone, even if they ask. For security reasons, we will never ask you for your private keys and nobody should.
If you want to buy a cryptocurrency, you need to have it sent to a specific crypto wallet. Each coin has its own one. The recipient address is your wallet, to which your crypto is transferred after the exchange.
Transaction hash (also referred to as “TX”) is the unique identification code that registers every transaction in the blockchain. This unique code allows you to verify its status and validity in the blockchain.
Blockchain operations are irreversible. If the funds are sent, the transaction cannot be canceled by anyone. Therefore, thoroughly check all the payment details before sending funds to anyone, including us or anyone else.
It takes some time to process transactions. Due to the high volatility of cryptocurrency, speed is crucial, however, the final exchange rate can differ both in the positive or negative direction. What we guarantee is the best rate at the very moment of an exchange operation.

The process of exchanging crypto consists of many different steps, and during those steps, various fees are charged.
These are the possible ones:
– network fee for the deposit transaction from a customer’s wallet;
– network fee for transferring coins to our liquidity provider;
– trading fees that our liquidity providers charge;
– network fee for sending the exchanged funds to the customer.
The fees vary depending on the currency and the exchange amount. For every swap, thecryptoexchange.online finds the fastest and most user-profitable way to execute an exchange. It is crucial to us that the final amount you receive is as close to the estimate as possible.
That’s why we calcutate all the possible fees for every transaction very thoroughly and include them in the estimate.

A classic rate cryptocurrency exchange is an exchange performed at the current most profitable rate on the market. An expected rate is the current exchange rate you will get. However, the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and you should account for that.
During the classic rate exchange, each transaction may have its own unique exchange rate because of price fluctuations, market conditions, and network fees. The rate might change at any moment; as a result, you might receive more or less than you thought you would.
The expected rate is the rate at this exact moment. You must understand that it takes some time to send the deposit and confirm the transaction so, with the market volatility, you might get a bit less or more than you thought you would.
A fixed rate crypto exchange is an exchange performed at the same rate which is displayed to the client at the beginning of an exchange, regardless of subsequent rate fluctuations.
In some cases, fixed-rate exchanges have lower rate but the opposite is also possible.
During the classic flow, each transaction may have its own unique exchange rate because of rate fluctuations, market conditions, and network fees. The rate might change at any moment; as a result, you might receive more or less than you thought you would.
Implementing fixed rate exchanges leads us to lay down a small reserve to guarantee your safety from exchange rate fluctuations. It’s included into the rate you will see at the beginning of the exchange, no other fees included.
Because of the rate risks we take, the fixed rate may differ from the classic flow’s rate. However, it gives our customers confidence in the amount they will receive.
After you’ve picked the Fixed Rate flow, you create an exchange and make a deposit. You have 20 minutes to deposit your exchange funds; during that time, we guarantee that the rate won’t change in any way. You will receive the exact amount that was displayed to you.
You may choose the fixed rate flow if you would like to be certain that the amount of crypto you’ll receive will stay the same, no matter what. With fixed rate exchanges, our users enjoy the stability of their conversions and are safe from sudden rate drops.
In some cases, fixed-rate exchanges have lower rate but the opposite is also possible.
