What you actually get

BTC to DCR, at four sizes

The two sides

Bitcoin and Decred: what you send, what you receive

FAQ

BTC to DCR, in short

Using it

What is the minimum BTC to DCR swap?

0.0000096 BTC right now. The desk sets it live and it moves with the DCR network fee — below it, that fee would eat the swap. There is no fixed maximum on this pair.

Which address do I need to receive DCR?

A DCR address you control. We check it against the network before creating anything.

How long does BTC to DCR take?

Around 10-60 minutes end to end, as forecast by the desk right now. Most of that is Bitcoin confirming your deposit — the exchange and the payout themselves take seconds.

Money & privacy

Can I get a guaranteed amount of DCR?

Yes — pick Fixed in the module. The rate is locked when the exchange is created, and a countdown starts for your deposit.

What does it cost?

Two things come out: the DCR network fee for sending your payout — 0.0003 DCR right now — shown on its own line, and our margin, which is already inside the rate. Nothing is added after you confirm.

Do I need an account or ID?

No. There is no account to create and we never ask for identity documents, at any amount. The one case where a swap can be held is spelled out in the AML policy rather than hidden.

Is a BTC to DCR swap traceable?

On-chain, yes: Bitcoin and DCR are public ledgers, so the deposit and the payout are visible to anyone, like any other transaction on them. What nobody can link them to is an identity: there is no account, no document and no request log here — the privacy policy names the only parties in the path.

What if the swap cannot complete?

Every order takes an optional refund address, and it is worth filling in. If the exchange cannot go through — a deposit under the minimum, a pair that stops being quoted, or the one documented case of a flagged deposit where the law allows a return — the deposit goes back to that address, minus what the network charges to send it; we charge nothing for a refund. Without a refund address, a return has to be arranged by hand through support. The order page tells you which situation you are in; nothing is decided silently.
