Fixedfloat rates let you choose between a conditional fixed quote and floating pricing

Deposit timing and expired quotes

An order’s payment countdown governs its deposit deadline, while an expired order may offer a revised exchange or a refund. Timely funding keeps the normal exchange path available when the other payment conditions hold. Before payment, the calculator lets you compare amounts without transferring funds. Funding commits assets to the order’s processing rules.

Late funds follow the choices available on the existing order. Continuation uses revised pricing, and a refund incurs network costs. Late payments can appear automatically within the order’s late-payment window. Payments sent after that time limit violate the exchange rules and require a support request for manual processing.

Fixed pricing and floating settlement

Fixed pricing sets a conditional receiving amount; floating pricing leaves the final amount exposed to market changes. The higher fixed-rate service charge pays for that conditional price certainty. Neither mode changes the sending currency or destination network that the order requires.

Fixed-rate conditions

Exact deposit amounts

The deposit address must receive the exact sending amount shown on a fixed order. A wallet or withdrawal provider may deduct its fee from the entered amount. That deduction can create a shortfall even when the sender typed the quoted number. Compare the recipient amount in the payment preview with the required deposit.

Arrival and market movement

The fixed-rate deadline concerns when the transaction enters the mempool or a block. A mempool holds pending transactions before block inclusion, and required confirmations can follow network arrival. The original quote also depends on market movement staying within the permitted tolerance until network appearance. Check the current market-movement tolerance in the exchange terms. If a fixed-rate condition fails, the original quoted output is unavailable; the order page offers a new fixed quote when possible or a refund minus the network fee.

Floating-rate settlement

Floating pricing establishes the receiving amount after the deposit obtains the required confirmations, within the service’s processing interval. The initial output remains an estimate until pricing completes. Favorable movement can increase the receiving amount, and adverse movement can reduce it.

Which fees are included in the quoted receiving amount?

The receiving quote accounts for the service charge, incoming-fund consolidation costs, and the network cost of sending the payout. Subtracting those same included charges again from the receiving figure would count them twice.

Consolidation and payout

Where consolidation is needed, it moves or combines incoming funds for later spending. Its mechanics vary by network, so its cost can differ between exchange directions. The payout also creates a network transaction. Neither cost follows the service percentage alone. Network demand can affect both charges, which helps explain why equal service percentages do not produce identical overall deductions.

Funding fees outside the quote

Your own sending fee belongs to the transfer that delivers funds to the exchange. A wallet or external withdrawal service calculates that charge separately from the exchange’s receiving quote. Its treatment matters for the exact deposit amount and your total expense. The included payout fee does not pay for your initial transfer.

A service percentage expresses a charge relative to the exchanged amount. A conversion rate expresses receiving-currency units per sending-currency unit. Those figures describe different relationships, even when the interface displays them close together.

Equal inputs for a useful rate comparison

A useful comparison holds the sending amount, currency pair, and selected networks constant, because changing an input changes what the quote represents. Matching currency names without matching networks leaves a different set of network costs in the calculation.

Dividing the quoted receiving amount by the sending amount gives the quote’s effective conversion rate. Its unit is receiving-currency units per sending-currency unit. Raw quantities in different currencies cannot express a percentage loss without a common valuation basis.

Quotes captured at different moments can reflect different market conditions. A mode change and a market move can both alter the amount shown. A difference between previews therefore does not isolate the service-fee difference.

The displayed charge beside each rate mode supplies the fee input for the comparison. Read the receiving amount again after changing a mode or amount. A stored screenshot records an earlier offer.

Confirmation delays and market exposure

Network congestion can extend the wait before floating pricing becomes final, leaving the receiving amount exposed to market movement for longer. Transaction priority depends on the selected network’s fee rules. A wallet’s suggested fee reflects its estimate when it prepares the transfer; network conditions can change afterward. Block production also affects confirmation timing. Raising a fee may improve priority where the network supports it, without guaranteeing an exact completion time. The exchange cannot make the underlying network confirm a payment on a fixed schedule.

Exchange size and available limits

When network costs stay similar, they consume a larger share of a smaller exchange. The service charge scales with the exchanged amount, while network costs follow the relevant transaction mechanics and network conditions. A quote can therefore show a substantial reduction even when its service percentage looks small. The receiving amount expresses their combined effect.

The live minimum and maximum amounts appear in the Send and Receive fields. These thresholds constrain usable quotes and can change. Deposits below the minimum violate the rules; if also below the order amount, an automatic refund form is available, but a refund may be refused. When a deposit exceeds both the maximum and the order amount, the order-page form can refund the excess over the original order amount while the rest is exchanged. Read the limits for the selected direction and amount, rather than carrying a previous pair’s limits into another quote.

Final amounts and receiving-wallet records

The finalized receiving amount is the figure to reconcile against the payout record and the destination wallet’s transaction details. A floating order’s initial preview can differ from its final amount because pricing completes later. A valid fixed-rate order retains its quoted output. An expired order that resumes at revised pricing has a different basis for comparison.

The deposit record identifies the amount that arrived for exchange. The outgoing transaction identifies what the service sent to the chosen receiving address. These records concern distinct transfers, potentially in different currencies. Comparing the correct amount, address, and network helps distinguish a pricing difference from a payment that still awaits confirmation.

A transaction identifier locates a transfer without establishing its confirmation on the destination network. A pending payout cannot establish that the receiving wallet has a confirmed balance.
