SWAP - a quick exchange

SWAP - a quick exchange

SWAP is a quick exchange of one cryptocurrency into another

  1. A necessary condition to making a quick exchange is to have both cryptocurrencies listed on Kanga exchange.
  2. There is no need for both currencies you wish to exchange to be directly tradable. The system will carry all necessary indirect exchanges in the background, choosing the proper path. If the forecasted exchange rate is unfavorable (e.g. due to a shallow market for the given cryptocurrency), the system will display a warning notice.
  3. When the market has low liquidity the SWAP may be impossible.
  4. By using the swap feature the user pays the same fee they would pay when making the transaction in the Market themselves. However, no other fees are incurred.

Sample exchange when there is no direct pair in the market:

You wish to exchange KNG to BTC, but there is no market for it on the exchange.

The exchange includes such pairs as KNG/USDT and BTC/USDT.

The system will run two operations so that the user can receive their BTC:
