⏱️ How Long Does an Exchange Take?

Is that fast?

Updated over 2 months ago

⚙️ Typical Timeframe

Most swaps on StealthEX are completed within 5–30 minutes.
However, the exact duration can vary depending on several factors outside our control.

Processing time depends on:

  • Blockchain network congestion — if the network is busy, confirmations may take longer

  • 💸 Amount sent — larger transactions may require additional confirmations

  • 🔁 Rate type — fixed rate swaps may take slightly longer to ensure rate stability

  • 🤝 Liquidity provider response time — depends on which provider executes your swap


🕒 When It Might Take Longer

Occasionally, an exchange can take up to an hour or more if:

  • The sending transaction is still awaiting blockchain confirmations

  • The coin’s network is under maintenance or delayed

  • There’s a temporary liquidity bottleneck for your chosen trading pair


💬 What You Can Do

If your swap has exceeded the expected timeframe:

  1. Double-check your TX hash on a blockchain explorer to ensure it’s confirmed.

  2. Make sure you’ve sent the exact amount shown on the exchange page.

  3. Contact our support team via the chat button in the bottom-right corner — include your TX hash and Exchange ID for fastest resolution.


⚡ Quick Summary

  • Most swaps finish in 5–30 minutes
