Before you start

Two things and you are ready. A wallet that can hold Bitcoin Cash and a little BCH for gas on its chain, and the receiving address you want the output delivered to, which can be a raw address or a web3 name where the wallet resolves one. The preview shows the full picture before anything is signed: what leaves, what arrives, the fee, and the network cost. Nothing in the flow asks you to hand over keys; the wallet stays yours and signs only what you approved on screen.

Fees and settlement

The cost picture is two lines. The platform side is a flat 0.50% all-in on the swap, quoted before you sign, with no spread and no routing cut behind it. The network side is gas paid in BCH, settling with about 10 min (target) blocks on Proof-of-Work (SHA-256), which the preview itemizes per leg. Settlement is on-chain to the address you chose: 1 confirmation (fast), 6 (standard) on this asset, after which the balance is spendable and non-custodial in the fullest sense, yours to move with no platform in the path.

The route runs on an instant integration, and atomicity is the property that matters: the approved number either happens in full or the transaction reverts with nothing moved but the attempt's gas. There is no resting state between legs where value sits in someone else's hands, and a route that misses your bounds simply fails clean, ready for a fresh quote. Cheap and loud beats silent and expensive as failure modes go.
