A swap exchanges one cryptocurrency for another. These instructions cover the Ramp Network web or partner flow in which you send crypto from an external wallet. For the app flow, see Swap crypto in the Ramp Network app.

The sending address identifies the wallet you will transfer from. The receiving address is where the swapped crypto will go. You can use the same address for both only if your wallet supports the selected assets on both networks; an identical-looking address does not mean your wallet can receive both assets on the selected networks. Check this with your wallet provider before sending.

Use the exact asset, network, address and amount shown for the swap. Include a memo or destination tag if shown, even if your wallet calls that field optional. Leave enough funds for the sending wallet’s network or withdrawal fee.

For example, if you selected USDC on Arbitrum as the sending asset, send USDC on Arbitrum. Do not send it on another network.

Return to the transaction page after sending. Ramp Network receives and confirms the transfer, processes the swap and sends the resulting crypto to your receiving wallet. Status updates and emails help you follow receipt and delivery.

Most straightforward swaps finish within a few minutes after Ramp Network receives the crypto, but network congestion, verification or technical issues can extend this.

Swaps are not available in the European Union (EU). Outside the EU, availability depends on your location, account and the supported service. Check the options offered for your transaction.
