Swap Times
Swap times vary based on the networks involved and current blockchain conditions.
Estimated Times
| Swap Type | Estimated Time |
|---|---|
| Same Network e.g., ETH → USDC on Ethereum | 5-15 minutes |

Why Longer Than Regular Exchanges?
Our privacy-enhancing process adds additional steps to break the on-chain link between transactions. This intentional delay is a feature, not a bug—it's what makes your swaps private. The extra time ensures your financial activity cannot be easily traced or linked.
Factors Affecting Time
Network Congestion
High network activity can increase confirmation times. This is especially true for Ethereum during peak usage.
Confirmation Requirements
Different networks require different numbers of confirmations. Bitcoin typically needs 2-3 confirmations, while most EVM chains need fewer.
Swap Size
Larger swaps may require additional processing time for optimal routing and liquidity sourcing.
