How to create a swap on Swapabit
Dec 10, 20255 min read
Swapabit is built for quick, non-custodial swaps. Use this checklist to move from picking coins to funding the deposit without guesswork.
1) Choose the assets and networks
- In the From field, pick the coin and network you want to send.
- In the To field, pick the coin and network you want to receive.
- If you see network tags (BTC, ETH, BSC, Arbitrum, etc.), match them to the wallets you control—don’t assume a ticker implies a network.
2) Decide on fixed or floating
- Use the rate toggle to switch between Floating (usually cheapest, follows live prices) and Fixed (locks the quote for a short window).
- Fixed is best when markets swing and you need an exact arrival amount. Floating is best when you can fund quickly and want the best market-following rate.
3) Enter the payout address (and memo if needed)
- Paste the destination address for the To asset. Double-check the format (0x for EVM, bc1/1/3 for BTC, memo/tag for XRP/XLM/ATOM, etc.).
- If a memo/tag is required, fill it in. Missing memos can delay exchange credits on some chains.
4) Start the swap and review the quote
- Click Exchange to generate the order.
- You’ll see the expected amount, network fee, and (for fixed) the time window to fund the deposit.
- If anything looks off, go back and adjust the pair, network, or rate type before sending funds.
5) Fund the deposit exactly as shown
- Send the exact deposit amount to the provided address (and memo if present). Over/under-paying can stall or cancel the order.
- Use a wallet that lets you set network fees so the transaction confirms within the fixed-rate window if you chose fixed.
- Wait for your wallet to broadcast; do not cancel a sent transaction.
6) Track progress and keep the hashes
- Keep the status page open; it will move through deposit detected → exchange in progress → payout sent.
- Save the transaction hashes and the order ID—they’re the fastest way to troubleshoot if a network slows down.
