Swapping Bitcoin Cash for Dash: what you need to know
Exchanging BCH for DASH is useful when you rebalance a portfolio or want to move from one network to another without buying stablecoins in between. At ROVEN exchange the coins are swapped directly, and the rate is locked when you create the order.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a 2017 fork of Bitcoin with bigger blocks and fees of a fraction of a cent. Dash (DASH) is “digital cash” with masternodes and instant InstantSend payment locking.
Why swap BCH for DASH
Shifting between BCH and DASH is a normal part of managing a portfolio: you change your exposure without cashing out to fiat. Dash was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send BCH | You receive DASH | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Bitcoin Cash | Dash |
| Address | “q…” or “bitcoincash:q…” | “X…” or “7…” |
| Network speed | a block comes roughly every 10 minutes | InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Don’t send BCH from a Bitcoin wallet or vice versa — they’re different networks.
- A Dash address starts with “X”; don’t confuse it with Bitcoin or Litecoin addresses.
- The rate is locked for 30 minutes: send BCH within that time and you’ll receive exactly the amount shown in the order.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Bitcoin Cash, a block comes roughly every 10 minutes; on Dash, InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds. The whole BCH to DASH swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
