Frequently asked questions
Do I need KYC to swap DOT to BCH?
No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Polkadot to Bitcoin Cash swaps.
How long does DOT to BCH take?
Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on Polkadot mainnet and Bitcoin Cash mainnet confirmations and current network load.
Is DOT to BCH non-custodial?
Yes. You send DOT from your wallet and receive BCH directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.
What if I send DOT on the wrong network?
Always match the network on your order page (Polkadot mainnet for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
