What “centralized exchange” means on n.exchange

On n.exchange, “centralized exchange” describes how the swap is executed. It does not mean n.exchange is a traditional account-based CEX.

n.exchange receives the deposit for one order, completes the exchange through its liquidity infrastructure, and sends the resulting crypto to your wallet. You create a separate order for each swap and do not keep an ongoing exchange balance or trade through an order book.

Benefits of the centralized exchange flow

Simple, guided crypto swap

Exchange crypto without navigating an order book or choosing a bridge or liquidity provider yourself.

Payout to your wallet

The exchanged asset is sent to the wallet address you provide for the order.

Floating or fixed rates

Use a floating rate or a fixed rate when both are available for your selected pair and amount.

Live terms before you send

Review the rate type, networks, limits, and estimated payout shown for the order before sending funds.

Is the centralized exchange flow right for you?

This flow may suit you if you want to:

  • swap crypto through a guided send-and-receive process;
  • exchange assets across supported networks;
  • choose between floating and fixed rates when both are available; or
  • receive the payout in your wallet without maintaining an exchange-account balance.

How to exchange crypto

  1. Choose the assets and networks

    Select the crypto and network you want to send, then choose what you want to receive. Enter an amount to check current availability.

  2. Review the live quote

    Check the estimated payout, rate type, networks, minimum and maximum amounts, and other terms shown for the order. If both rate types are available, choose floating or fixed.

  3. Enter your receiving address

    Provide a wallet address that supports the exact asset and network shown in the order. Check both carefully before continuing.

  4. Send the order deposit

    Transfer the required asset to the deposit address created for that order. For a fixed-rate order, send the correct amount within the displayed quote window.

  5. Track the order and receive the payout

    After the deposit is confirmed and the exchange is completed, n.exchange sends the payout to your receiving address. Timing depends on the assets, networks, confirmation times, liquidity, and order conditions.

Floating and fixed rates

Floating rate: The rate follows the market while the exchange is being processed, so the final payout may be slightly higher or lower than the initial estimate.

Fixed rate: The payout amount is fixed for a limited quote window when you send the required deposit on time and meet the displayed order terms. Choose this option when knowing the receive amount matters more than following the live market price.

Not every pair, amount, or route supports both options. The exchange widget shows current rate availability and order terms.

FAQ

On n.exchange, “centralized” describes the execution of an individual crypto swap. n.exchange receives the deposit for that order, completes the exchange through its liquidity infrastructure, and sends the payout to your wallet. It is not a traditional account-based CEX where you trade through an order book and keep funds in an exchange balance.
No. n.exchange is a non-custodial cryptocurrency exchange, not an account-based trading platform. For the centralized flow, n.exchange handles funds while an individual order is processed, then sends the result to the wallet address you provide.
A floating rate follows the market during processing, so the final payout may differ from the initial estimate. A fixed rate locks the payout amount for a limited quote window when that option is available and the displayed order terms are met.
Choose a fixed rate when the exact receive amount is important and you can send the required deposit within the displayed quote window. Choose a floating rate when you prefer the payout to follow the market during execution and accept that the final amount may change.
No wallet connection is required for the centralized flow. Enter a destination wallet address, then send the deposit to the address created for your order. Always follow the asset and network instructions shown in the order.
There is no single completion time for every swap. Timing depends on the assets, networks, blockchain confirmation times, liquidity, and whether the order was funded according to its terms. Use the order screen to track the current status.
The widget shows the assets, networks, pairs, rate types, and order sizes currently available. Availability can change with liquidity and market conditions, so check the live terms before sending funds.
