Swapping crypto

Exchange one cryptocurrency for another across supported networks.

Overview

Swaps let you convert crypto to crypto — for example ETH on Ethereum to USDC on Base, or BTC to LTC. The fee is 3.5%, lower than buy/sell routes because both sides are on-chain.

When to use swap vs buy/sell

Goal	Use
I have crypto and want different crypto	Swap
I have GBP/USD and want crypto	Buy
I have crypto and want Revolut/PayPal/bank	Sell
I want LTC but card only supports BTC/ETH	Buy BTC → Swap to LTC

Step-by-step guide

Go to faintdev.co.uk/swap.
Source asset — what you are sending (network + token).
Destination asset — what you want to receive.
Amount — how much source crypto you are swapping.
Receive address — wallet for the destination token on the correct network.
Confirm — note your FX-XXXXXX order ID.
Deposit — send source crypto to the address on your order page.
Receive — destination crypto sent to your wallet after processing.

Networks matter

USDC on Ethereum is not the same as USDC on Base or Solana. Always match the network on your wallet to the network on the order. The token picker shows network icons to help you choose correctly.

Example mistake

Ordering USDC on Base but providing an Ethereum mainnet address will result in lost funds. If unsure, ask in support chat before sending.

Swap fees

3.5% service fee on the swap value.
0.5% additional conversion fee when the route converts via LTC or USDC on Base internally.
Network/gas costs are factored into the quote where applicable.

How long do swaps take?

Most swaps complete within minutes to a few hours after your deposit receives enough blockchain confirmations. Cross-chain routes may take longer during congestion. Track live status on your order page or /verify.
