Swap Ethereum (ETH) Without KYC

Ether (ETH) is the native coin of Ethereum, the largest smart contract platform. Since the 2022 Merge, Ethereum uses proof-of-stake, with a new block slot every 12 seconds. ETH pays for gas on every transaction, including transfers of ERC-20 tokens such as USDT, USDC, LINK, SHIB and PEPE.

Ethereum addresses start with 0x and are 42 characters long. The same address format is used by many other networks: Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon and Avalanche C-Chain. That makes wrong-network mistakes easy. A swap on this site pays ETH on Ethereum mainnet unless the quote names another network, so check that your wallet is set to Ethereum before you copy the address.

Gas costs change with demand. A simple ETH transfer is cheap compared with a token transfer or a contract call, but every ERC-20 swap deposit also needs ETH in the sending wallet. If you receive tokens on Ethereum, keep a little ETH next to them, or you will not be able to move them later. When you send ETH from an exchange, make sure the withdrawal network is Ethereum.
