Swapping in your Private Key Wallet
When using your Private Key Wallet, Swap uses priority fees to help ensure the network confirms your order as soon as possible, but network congestion may extend your order completion time.
When using your Trading Account only, network fees and network congestion do not apply.
Blockchain.com has no control over on-chain transaction times or confirmations. If your Swap order is still in progress after 6 hours, please contact us for a status update. Please be sure to include your Order ID in your support request
