Exchange Type

Multi-Hop Exchange

Q: Why would I use Multi-Hop instead of Simple Swap?

Primarily for privacy and security. Moving funds through an intermediate bridge currency creates a natural break between your source and destination at the blockchain level.

Q: Which coins are used as bridges?

SOL (Solana), LTC (Litecoin), and USDT BEP20. They were chosen for their speed and low network fees to ensure hop 2 happens as quickly as possible.

Q: What is the fee for Multi-Hop?

Approximately 2% — slightly higher than Simple Swap because two separate exchanges are executed. The fee is already included in the displayed rate.

Q: How long does a Multi-Hop exchange take?

On average 10–60 minutes, depending on confirmation speed of the source coin and bridge coin. SOL-bridged swaps complete hop 2 significantly faster than LTC.

Q: How is the Hop 2 amount determined?

Hop 2 is created for the exact amount actually received on the bridge wallet from hop 1 — not the initial estimate. If the rate moved, you get the real market price, not a stale one.

Q: Can Hop 2 get stuck?

No. The system automatically monitors for bridge wallet deposits and immediately triggers hop 2. You can track both hops in real time on your order page.

Two-step routing through a bridge coin. Your funds pass through a natural break point between source and destination for enhanced privacy.

Process

How Multi-Hop Works

Two-step exchange with automatic routing through a bridge coin

Create order

Choose your source coin and destination coin. The system automatically selects the optimal bridge coin (SOL, LTC, or USDT BEP20).

Send your coins

Transfer the amount to our deposit address. Hop 1 starts automatically once blockchain confirmation is detected.

Hop 1: bridging

Your coins are exchanged for the intermediate bridge coin via KOT.CASH. This creates a natural break in the on-chain transaction trail.

Hop 2: final exchange

The exact amount received on the bridge wallet (not the estimate — the actual received amount) is immediately exchanged for your destination coin.

Receive

The final coins are sent directly to your wallet. You receive the live market rate at the time of hop 2 execution.

Multi-Hop Advantages

Why users choose the two-step exchange route

Enhanced Privacy

The intermediate bridge coin creates a natural on-chain break between the source and destination. Transaction trail is split at the blockchain level.

Transaction Security

Splitting into two independent exchanges reduces exposure. Each hop is a separate, independent transaction with its own confirmation.

Exact Hop 2 Amount

Hop 2 is created for exactly what we received on the bridge wallet — not the estimate. You get a fair float rate based on actual funds.

Bridge Coins

SOL (Solana), LTC (Litecoin), and USDT BEP20 are used as bridges — selected for speed and low network fees to minimize hop 2 delay.

Fully Automated

The system auto-selects the bridge and triggers hop 2 the moment bridge funds arrive. No manual steps required from you.

Float Rate

Both hops execute at the live market rate. You get fair pricing without relying on rate estimates locked before the swap.
