ATOM to BCH: questions and answers
How do I swap ATOM to BCH without KYC?
Enter the ATOM amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your BCH address and send your ATOM to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and by default it only shows exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The BCH is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the ATOM to BCH exchange rate?
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current ATOM to BCH rate for the amount you enter.
What are the minimum and maximum for ATOM to BCH?
The minimum is about 2.2 ATOM and the maximum about 687,000 ATOM. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
How long does a ATOM to BCH swap take?
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your ATOM deposit to confirm on Cosmos Hub, which takes under a minute. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping ATOM to BCH anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Cosmos Hub and Bitcoin Cash are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Which BCH address should I use?
Your BCH is paid on Bitcoin Cash. Use an address that is in CashAddr format (bitcoincash:q...). Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
What fees are included in the ATOM to BCH rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Bitcoin Cash network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Cosmos Hub network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap BCH back to ATOM?
Yes. The reverse direction, BCH to ATOM, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
