💧 Floating Rate
A floating rate is calculated in real time based on current market conditions.
It’s ideal when the market is stable or slightly moving in your favor.
Key points:
Based on live market prices from liquidity providers
The final amount may change slightly by the time your transaction is confirmed
Typically offers better average rates compared to fixed
Best for smaller or quick swaps where you can tolerate small fluctuations
💬 Example:
If the market moves up while your transaction is processing, you may receive slightly more coins. If it drops, you might receive slightly less.
🔒 Fixed Rate
A fixed rate locks in the exchange rate for a short time (usually 15–30 minutes), ensuring the final amount you see is what you get — even if the market changes.
Key points:
Rate locked for ~15–30 minutes
Protects you from price volatility
Has a slightly higher spread to maintain stability
Ideal for larger swaps or when prices are highly volatile
💬 Example:
If you select a fixed rate and the market drops before your transaction confirms, you’ll still receive the exact amount shown at the start of the exchange.
💡 StealthEX Tip
We recommend:
✅ Floating Rate → for smaller, quick swaps during stable markets
✅ Fixed Rate → for larger amounts or during times of high market volatility
