LINK to DCR: questions and answers
How do I swap LINK to DCR without KYC?
Enter the LINK amount on this page, choose an offer, paste your DCR address and send your LINK 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 DCR is paid directly to your wallet.
What is the LINK to DCR exchange rate?
At the last update, 1 LINK ≈ 0.86368 DCR (the best of 4 offers for 25 LINK). Rates move with the market every few seconds, so use the calculator at the top of the page for the live rate on your exact amount.
What are the minimum and maximum for LINK to DCR?
The minimum is about 0.4 LINK and the maximum about 125,000 LINK. 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 LINK to DCR swap take?
Usually around 6 min. Most of that is waiting for your LINK deposit to confirm on Ethereum, which takes about 2-5 minutes. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
Is swapping LINK to DCR anonymous?
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Ethereum and Decred 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 DCR address should I use?
Your DCR is paid on Decred. Use an address that starts with Ds. 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 LINK to DCR rate?
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Decred 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 Ethereum network fee to send the deposit.
Can I swap DCR back to LINK?
Yes. The reverse direction, DCR to LINK, 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.
