The time it takes or an order to complete will differ depending on whether you are Swapping to and from your DeFi Wallet or Blockchain.com Account.
Below is an example of a BTC-ETH trade with the different options that are available. The table illustrates example order times. :
Wallets |
Completion Times |
BTC DeFi Wallet -> ETH DeFi Wallet |
Dependent on the BTC network speed and the ETH network speed (~2 hours) |
BTC DeFi Wallet -> ETH Blockchain.com Account |
Dependent on the BTC network speed (~ 1 hour) |
BTC Blockchain.com Account -> ETH Blockchain.com Account |
Instant |
When using your DeFi 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 Blockchain.com 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.
