How Crypto Exchange Works

A crypto exchange is a process where one asset is swapped for another. You choose a pair, enter the receiving details, send your cryptocurrency, and after the transaction is processed, you receive the selected asset.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose a Pair

Select which cryptocurrency you want to send and which one you want to receive.

2. Enter the Details

Enter the wallet address where the received coin should be sent and check the information carefully.

3. Review the Details

Make sure the pair, receiving address, and network are correct before continuing.

4. Send Your Crypto

Transfer the required asset to the provided address, following the selected network and exchange conditions.

5. Wait for Processing

After the transfer is sent, the transaction must receive network confirmations. Then the exchange is processed.

6. Receive the Selected Asset

After processing is completed, the cryptocurrency will be sent to the receiving address you provided.
