How to exchange DASH for BCH safely and at a good rate
To switch from Dash to Bitcoin Cash you don’t need to sell for dollars first and then buy again. ROVEN exchange does it in one step: one order, one rate, one payout.
Dash (DASH) is “digital cash” with masternodes and instant InstantSend payment locking. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a 2017 fork of Bitcoin with bigger blocks and fees of a fraction of a cent.
Why swap DASH for BCH
Coins serve different purposes, and sometimes holding BCH makes more sense — for faster transfers, staking or the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem. Bitcoin Cash was built for fast, cheap transfers, which makes it handy for payments.
Networks and addresses
| You send DASH | You receive BCH | |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Dash | Bitcoin Cash |
| Address | “X…” or “7…” | “q…” or “bitcoincash:q…” |
| Network speed | InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds | a block comes roughly every 10 minutes |
| Memo / tag | Not needed | Not needed |
What to watch out for
- Send DASH on the Dash network only; CoinJoin isn’t needed for a swap.
- Use a CashAddr address (“q…”) so it can’t be confused with a Bitcoin address.
- Send the exact amount from the order and do it within 30 minutes, while the locked rate is valid.
How long the swap takes
Swap speed depends on both networks. On Dash, InstantSend locks a payment within a couple of seconds; on Bitcoin Cash, a block comes roughly every 10 minutes. The whole DASH to BCH swap usually takes 5 to 30 minutes once your transfer is confirmed.
The current rate is 1 DASH = 0.17473393 BCH and the minimum amount is 0.377358 DASH. Create an order in the form above, and ROVEN exchange will send swap updates by email or Telegram.
