You send from your own wallet straight to the exchanger — nothing to connect,
no account, and you stay on this page throughout. Rates are indicative until
a swap is opened.
The swap is carried out by an independent exchanger and the deposit address
above is theirs. cryptoswifties.xyz never holds, receives or controls
your funds, has no key to that address, and earns a referral commission.
Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the
exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms,
fees and country restrictions before sending anything.
The network fee consumes a very small, fixed amount of SOL. The exchange takes its cut from the swap rate itself, not from your deposited SOL separately. In practical terms, less than 0.00001 SOL goes to the Solana network; the exchange's margin is built into the exchange rate yo
You want to move SOL or a Solana-based asset to another chain. The obvious path is a decentralized exchange - connect a wallet, approve a trade, pay gas. But there is another route: send your SOL to an exchanger, and receive a different asset on a different chain in return. No wa
The swap will fail. You do not get your tokens swapped, and you do not get a refund automatically. The exchanger treats the transaction as incomplete, and the SOL you sent is effectively lost to the swap address.
Exchangers do not use a single, fixed rate. They calculate your swap using a blended rate drawn from multiple sources, typically a mix of the mid-market spot price, a liquidity provider's quoted rate, and their own spread. You never get the exact rate you see on CoinMarketCap or
A SOL to Bitcoin swap through an exchanger is not one transaction, but a coordinated sequence of at least four separate moves, often on two different blockchains. The exchanger receives your Solana, sells it for a stablecoin or another liquid pair, then buys Bitcoin and sends it
The swap completed on the exchanger's side, but the outgoing transaction to your wallet failed or was sent to the wrong address. That is the short answer; the longer one involves how Solana transactions actually settle.

How to convert crypto: on-chain vs off-chain
Off-chain (on an exchange)
Your trade happens inside the exchange's own ledger. Nothing
touches the blockchain until you withdraw.
Cheapest and fastest for common pairs
Needs an account and usually ID verification
The exchange holds the coins until you withdraw them
Best for converting to and from cash
On-chain (a DEX or swap)
You swap from your own wallet. The transaction settles on the
chain and you pay its fee.
No account, no custodian — you keep the keys
You pay network fees, which vary a lot by chain
Small or new tokens often only trade here
Slippage and thin liquidity are real costs on low-volume pairs
Before any on-chain swap: check the token's contract address
against a block explorer, start with a small test amount, and review what you
are approving — an unlimited token approval to an unknown contract is how most
wallet drains actually happen.
