What are the minimum and maximum swap limits?

ChangeNOW does not impose a fixed minimum for most pairs — the practical minimum is usually around 5 USD worth of crypto, and some pairs allow even smaller amounts. Maximums depend on the coin and the network, and for very large swaps the platform may apply additional checks. On the swap page, ChangeNOW shows the exact minimum and maximum for every pair before you confirm, so you always know the allowed range in advance.

A typical ChangeNOW swap is a five-step flow: pick the pair, choose FixRate or FloatingRate, enter the receiving address, send your coins, and wait for the exchange to be forwarded to your address. Most swaps complete in 5–30 minutes depending on network congestion, and the exchange status is trackable in real time on the official site.

Two habits prevent the vast majority of swap problems: always set a change (refund) address, and start with a small test transaction when trying an unfamiliar pair. If a swap fails, the change address is where ChangeNOW returns your funds, so leaving it empty or wrong is the most common user error.

Bottom line

ChangeNOW does not impose a fixed minimum for most pairs — the practical minimum is usually around 5 USD worth of crypto, and some pairs allow even smaller amounts. For the full picture, see the complete ChangeNOW FAQ covering fees, KYC, limits, refunds, supported coins, and more.
