# Swap your crypto

> Exchange one cryptocurrency for another straight from your account wallets, settled through an exchange partner. Mainnet only.

Swap lets you exchange a currency you hold for one you need, without leaving CryptoNow. Funds move out of one account wallet and the exchanged currency lands back in another.

<Info>
  Swap runs on **mainnet only**. If you open it on a testnet network, you'll be prompted to switch before you can continue.
</Info>

<Note>
  The destination-currency wallet must already exist before you swap. If you don't have a wallet in the currency you want to receive, create it first under **Account wallets**.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Swap and start a new one">
    Go to **Transaction's → Swap** and select **Create New Swap**. The first time, your swap history is empty.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Set what you send and what you get">
    In **YOU SEND**, enter the amount and pick the currency to spend. In **YOU GET**, pick the currency to receive — the estimated amount fills in automatically. **MAX** fills in the largest amount you can swap from that wallet after fees.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the cost breakdown">
    Before you go further, the **Total** line itemises the full cost: the amount, the network **Miner Fee** (paid in the source network's native coin), and the **System Fee**. The exchange partner's rate is applied on top when you view offers.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="View offers and pick an exchange service">
    Select **View offers**. Each offer shows the **Rate**, **ETA**, and a **KYC Risk** indicator. Pick one and select **Exchange**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the summary">
    The summary confirms the exact send and receive amounts, the **exchange rate**, the **Partner**, and the rate **Type** — **Fixed** (rate locked for a short window) or **Floating** (final amount can move with the market).

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm with 2FA">
    Enter the code from your Google Authenticator and select **Confirm**. If the locked rate expires while you're confirming, use **Update rate** and try again.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done">
    You'll see a confirmation that the swap was processed.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Track it in Transactions">
    The swap appears in **Transaction's → History**, first as **Pending**, then **Done**. Expand it to see the Payment ID, addresses, Miner Fee, System Fee, and on-chain hash. The exchanged currency arrives in your destination account wallet as a **Replenishment** entry.

    </Frame>

    <Frame caption="Swap done — received currency lands as a Replenishment">

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  On a **Floating** rate the amount you receive can change between confirmation and settlement. Choose **Fixed** if you need the quoted amount guaranteed within the partner's time window.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  **Worked example.** 5 USDT (ERC-20) → ≈0.00311 ETH via *sideshift* on a fixed rate. The Total line showed a miner fee of ≈0.0000226 ETH and a System Fee of 0.05 USDT; the received ETH landed in the Ethereum account wallet as a Replenishment.
