Because of my experience with fiat exchanges, I find it quite surprising that in the crypto-to-crypto swaps an exchange is called "instant" even when the counter-transaction is not sent at the moment the user's transaction is received, but only after some delay (b1ack mentions up to 60 seconds for most pairs).
If we don't quibble about the term "instant," then exchanging one cryptocurrency for another happens quickly, after the transaction of the sent cryptocurrency is confirmed.
I don't think this is a problem if such services use a small delay for internal processes.

after how many confirmations is the swap process activated on the Ethereum network? (If there are differences in the number of required confirmations depending on the network, maybe you should write about it somewhere in the ToS)
From what I've seen when exchanging, they are requesting 14 confirmations.

Joking aside, b1ack did mention that this is a critical system update. Updates like this can not only take longer than expected—unplanned delays—but also require extensive testing. In this case, it’s actually better to be offline for an extra day or two so they can use that time to thoroughly test the software.
Adding all these pairs may require some testing before pool being updated. after this update, only Dogecoin is not among the well known tokens supported by Thorchain.

I'm also waiting for BTC to go live to try and make a swap, let's just keep being patient in the meantime. They did say it was a critical update though, so maybe it's taking a lot more time than they initially expected. Anyway, I'm sure they will post another update when it's ready. Wink
Yeah of course they will absolutely post some update soon when they have make the adjustments or update on the site, I just check right now and still bitcoin and other pairs are just unavailable only SOL and LTC that is absolutely available right now to make a swap. Maybe they are working on the issue and they will hit us back soon with the possible update we all have been waiting.

What is the difference here compared to crypto-to-fiat exchanges? Why is instant sending possible there, but not possible here? What exactly requires this time - up to 60 seconds - in crypto-to-crypto swaps? If everything is automated, why isn't the algorithm configured to send the counter cryptocurrency at the exact moment it receives a notification that the client's transaction has arrived?

Because here there is something called blockchain.
It didn't become any clearer. Let's try to figure it out using a concrete example. Let's say it's an exchange of BTC to USDT.

This is how I imagine an automated exchange:

the bot receives information from the blockchain that the required amount of bitcoins has been sent by the client and that the transaction has received the required number of confirmations (in the case of b1exch - two);

technically, at that very moment, the bot could sign a transaction to send USDT.

However, for some reason, this usually doesn't happen in crypto-to-crypto exchanges. Even b1ack mentions that it takes some time (no more than 60 seconds).

I understand that the blockchain is needed to finalize the transaction. But how exactly can it prevent the transaction from being sent instantly?

Or did you mean something else?

I'm really trying to understand what's the fuss over it being called "instant" and "b1ack mentioning up to 60 seconds for most pairs". Seriously, is this the discussion we should be having here? Why they say instant when it take 60 seconds? Are you guys out of post ideas? Tongue

I search their ToS and did not find anything with instant or immediate related to deposits or withdrawals especially withdrawals.
https://b1exch.to/Terms

I don't know where he got the information of "60 seconds" or "instant". I used b1exch.to one time as my test and my memory does not have that information too, but my memory could be wrong so I rely on ToS for finding that information but can not find that detail.

In addition, with basic of Blockchain Trilemma, I don't expect instant ones when privacy is a top of priority. Want better privacy, a little bit longer time of processing.

Quick question - I hope I didn't miss this.
When will other pairs (especially those involving BTC) be back online?
I was just about to document a test but unfortunately couldn't get it to work - I'd like to change some satoshi.

Or did you mean something else?

There is no service, whether crypto or fiat, that is 100% instantaneous.

There is always a time gap, even for seconds, between the information and all the elements involved: computer, Internet connections, servers, service overload, among other factors.

Not even in the EU, which has the instant SEPA system, the transaction is carried out in the same second.

Sometimes what happens is that the platforms, when they detect the movement, inform that it is done, but not available for use.

But to say that doesn't literally mean it was estantanio. In fact, he is deceiving. Because the money is not actually in the account, it is signaled that it will come in soon.

That being said, at b1exch things aren't much different.
You send BTC, as soon as the blockchain confirms it, it starts the exchange process.
There is naturally a small gap of time between the validation and the order of execution.
Then, wait for the other crypto's blockchain again, and then receive the money.

In the end, it will take the whole process only a few minutes, except for the longer block validation times of each network.

But, nothing that is different from what is normal in the market in general.

But, nothing that is different from what is normal in the market in general.

Literally the only way a swap can be instantaneous is if they are atomic swaps, meaning the transaction executes both sides exactly at the same transaction.

Take for example Uniswap, where you make a transaction through their ETH smart contract, changing balances between your wallet and the smart contract at the same transaction. As soon as your transaction gets confirmed, you immediately have the received coins in an spendable state on your wallet. Of course that's only possible because all tokens are in the same blockchain.

And even then, you can be pedantic and say it wasn't instantaneous because it was supposed to be "click -> receive" in 0.01ms.

Now, should b1exch work tireleslly to remove the incredible 60 seconds delay between deposit confirmed and swapped coins received, defiying even the laws of physics and what we know by latency, just so they can call themselves an "instant" exchange?

Is this what their users want and need? Cheesy

Sounds like a centralised exchange; just choose a market price and click buy, and you will have coins in your wallet section. I don't know how users are expecting such swap services from these instant exchanges. Then they should learn what 'instant' means; below you may find what Google is saying:
Quote
instant
/ˈɪn(t)st(ə)nt/
"Instant" means happening immediately without delay, or a very short, precise moment in time.
Also, Google has given examples of instant coffee where you need a minimal time, like mixing hot water, sugar and milk. Without delays or very short time means instant. We really can't ignore the processing times and blockchain confirmation times anyway.

I was just about to document a test but unfortunately couldn't get it to work - I'd like to change some satoshi.
I also wanted to exchange some BTC with Litecoin as well but bummer! As someone mentioned earlier, there isn't any balance/liquidity available at the moment. I would also appreciate if there's an estimate on when other coins (especially BTC-LTC) will be back. (Liquidity link mentioned earlier: https://b1exch.to/Liquidity). Most coins say "Coming soon", while others, such as BTC or ETH simply say "Unavailable", does that mean that these pairs won't be back in the near future? Looking forward for an update.

Also, Google has given examples of instant coffee where you need a minimal time, like mixing hot water, sugar and milk. Without delays or very short time means instant. We really can't ignore the processing times and blockchain confirmation times anyway.

But the case you're talking about with exchanges, like Binance, is actually a fake instant.
It's not in your physical wallet, meaning it's not in your "cold wallet" - for example.

The money is on a platform; you just have to change a number in a line of the database.

The limit you see on an exchange is just a number; it doesn't involve the movement of funds between platforms, blockchains, or anything of that nature.

Now, how long does it take you to send your balance from the exchange to your own wallet?
It might take longer than a swap on b1exch.

Even instant coffee takes time from pouring it into the cup to stirring and drinking it.

Therefore, the time it takes b1exch to process the transaction is instantaneous. Because as soon as the system receives confirmation that the money has arrived, it executes the order to send the money. This should take mere seconds. Visually, we probably don't notice it because we're not clicking "refresh" a thousand times per second. Thus, the time difference that is observed is the time between the order being executed and the platform passing that information on to the user.

Are you trolling here?
First, you explained why the transactions are not instant, then you asked why they are not instant. It seems like trolling to me.

But let me try to be constructive. After creating the order and recognizing the transaction, the exchanger checks whether the specified tx is confirmed. I am not sure if such a query is sent several times per second, but I am sure that it takes a few seconds when the tx confirmation is received. This is followed by the approval of the outgoing transaction, checking and adjusting the current fee, I assume also some kind of automatic signing, which again must take some time. Even 5 seconds is "some time". Depending on the coin and the network, sometimes it may take time to recognize the transaction and confirm it. So we greatly exceeded the transaction in the same fraction of a second, and according to you, it is no longer instant.

Do you have any examples where a service (of any kind) has instant billing, but in your view on this matter? I would like to test it.

Simply those coins doesn't have enough balance, check b1exch liquidity pool https://b1exch.to/Liquidity, only 3 coins (SOL, XMR, LTC) is only available as of writing while other is maybe in maintenance. You can wait until b1ack refill its pools. You can also check discussion above.

Most of the coins that say unavailable have over $1 million in liquidity. It is not an issue of not having enough balance. They have disabled them for other reasons that are related to the critical update they mentioned and which seems to be taking longer than anticipated to complete.

AFAIR it doesn't have such numbers when i looked at it earlier, and yes, i did mention that those coins could have maintenance update on the platform.

I search their ToS and did not find anything with instant or immediate related to deposits or withdrawals especially withdrawals.
https://b1exch.to/Terms

I don't know where he got the information of "60 seconds" or "instant"
The "60 seconds" stuff was mentioned by b1ack. "Instant" exchange could be found mentioned on the thread itself.

Talking about instant exchanges, they are not called "instant" because the transactions are done instantly. It's because of the whole process from registration to the process and withdrawal. Unlike traditional exchanges or say cex, it will take hours or days from registration, kyc, deposit, trading, withdrawals. While these kind of exchanges only take minutes as you can instantly process your order upon landing on the site.

could you share how long the process usually takes for you - from the moment your transaction receives the required number of confirmations to the moment the counter transaction is sent? After all, b1exch.to is also described as "instant". Is it always instant, or do delays sometimes occur?
Then b1ack replied:
To answer honestly — once your deposit has the required confirmations on its native blockchain (which we don't control, that's between you and the network), the actual swap execution on our end typically completes in under 60 seconds for most pairs.
That made me curious about the purpose of that small delay, so I asked:
What exactly requires this time - up to 60 seconds - in crypto-to-crypto swaps? If everything is automated, why isn't the algorithm configured to send the counter cryptocurrency at the exact moment it receives a notification that the client's transaction has arrived?
joker_josue replied:
Because here there is something called blockchain.

I didn't understand that answer, so I asked him to explain what the blockchain had to do with it. After all, I am talking about the time it takes to send cryptocurrency to the client after the transaction in which the exchange received the client's crypto has already been confirmed on the blockchain.

So I honestly don't even understand where anyone could see trolling here. Most likely, the problem is simply that neither joker_josue nor you really looked into the context of my question. You didn't read that what interested me was
* not why the client does not receive the new cryptocurrency immediately after sending the old one (that part is obvious to everyone),
* but what the swap processing technically consists of, that is, what actions exactly the algorithm needs time to perform during the interval between the moment the client's cryptocurrency has already been received and the moment the other cryptocurrency has not yet been sent to the client.



Do you have any examples where a service (of any kind) has instant billing, but in your view on this matter? I would like to test it.
When the Localbitcoins website was still operating, you could buy scripts on Telegram that automated trades there. I didn't test them myself, but their developers claimed that the scripts monitored notifications from banks and payment services about incoming fiat deposits and released bitcoins instantly. (By "instantly" - in the sense mentioned by joker_josue, meaning very quickly, with no noticeable delay.)

Now you probably won't be able to test them, since Localbitcoins has been inactive for quite a long time.

* but what the swap processing technically consists of, that is, what actions exactly the algorithm needs time to perform during the interval between the moment the client's cryptocurrency has already been received and the moment the other cryptocurrency has not yet been sent to the client.

Perhaps I just haven't been able to explain myself.

I'll try to explain it another way. Let's take time out of the blockchains and create a timeline.

hh:mm:ss
12:30:30 - Blockchain approves the transaction
12:30:32 - Approval is propagated through the network and reaches the b1exch node
12:30:33 - b1exch checks if the minimum values ​​are met and the current exchange rate between the currencies
12:30:34 - Awaiting API response regarding currency exchange rates
12:30:36 - Confirmation API of the exchange rate and the amounts that need to be sent
12:30:37 - The customer transaction has been sent; please await blockchain confirmation


This is a hypothetical, but valid, timeline.
Information technology is fast, but there are always communication factors that end up being involved.

Just one aspect of this process, being overloaded with work, is enough to make everything take a few seconds longer than expected.

If a service claims to perform a transaction from one system to another in the same second, I was suspicious. Because it's literally impossible for that to happen, validating all the necessary information for everything to be correct.

I say it's impossible when the transaction isn't within the same platform. Because when it's on the same platform, as I've already mentioned, it's just a matter of exchanging values ​​in the database.

As mentioned, the swap itself cannot happen "instantly," since a certain number of confirmations must be waited for, and this takes varying amounts of time depending on the blockchain in question. Of course, confirmations are essential; doing without them would leave the exchange wide open to attacks.
Even when you go to a physical fiat exchange, you cannot do an instant swap, it takes a few minutes at best. With instant exchanges, waiting for transaction confirmation makes the whole process take longer than "instant."

btw. b1ack, after how many confirmations is the swap process activated on the Ethereum network? (If there are differences in the number of required confirmations depending on the network, maybe you should write about it somewhere in the ToS)

We can't reveal our exact confirmation requirements, as this information could be used for targeted attacks.

What we can say: confirmation requirements are dynamic based on transaction value. Small amounts require fewer confirmations and process faster. Larger amounts require more confirmations for security.

Example: A $50 swap might process after 1-2 confirmations, while a $5,000 swap needs more confirmations to ensure security.

---

...We cannot make Bitcoin confirm faster. Nobody can. What we can do is execute the moment confirmations are received, and that's exactly what we do...
The speed of the exchange will depend on what commission the client and the exchange use when sending the transaction to the mempool. And if the client uses a low commission, it may take several hours to complete such a transaction. So the speed of the exchange depends not only on the exchange, but also on the client. And what kind of commission does the b1exch set to increase priority, and is it permanent?

You're absolutely right - swap speed depends on both sides.

Your incoming transaction:
If you send with low fees, it takes longer to confirm. We can't speed this up - we're waiting for blockchain confirmations.

Example: You send BTC with 1 sat/vB during high congestion → might take hours for first confirmation. Nothing we can do except wait.

Our outgoing transaction:
We monitor current mempool conditions and use appropriate fees to ensure your payout confirms within reasonable time (usually 20-40 minutes for Bitcoin).

We don't use a fixed fee rate - we adjust based on current network conditions. When mempool is congested, we increase fees. When it's clear, we use lower fees.

Bottom line: For fastest swaps, use higher fees when sending to us. We'll handle fast payouts on our end.

Instant exchanges doesn't swap your coins instantly because that's not possible however
That is exactly what I was asking about. I often exchange bitcoins for fiat money on P2P platforms, and many people who run exchanges there follow a simple rule: as soon as they see that the fiat payment has been credited to their account, they immediately release the bitcoins. Quite often this process is even automated - a bot monitors bank notifications and instantly releases bitcoins once the notification about the incoming fiat payment is received.

Because of my experience with fiat exchanges, I find it quite surprising that in the crypto-to-crypto swaps an exchange is called "instant" even when the counter-transaction is not sent at the moment the user's transaction is received, but only after some delay (b1ack mentions up to 60 seconds for most pairs). What is the difference here compared to crypto-to-fiat exchanges? Why is instant sending possible there, but not possible here? What exactly requires this time - up to 60 seconds - in crypto-to-crypto swaps? If everything is automated, why isn't the algorithm configured to send the counter cryptocurrency at the exact moment it receives a notification that the client's transaction has arrived?

Good question - there's a key difference between fiat P2P and crypto-to-crypto exchanges.

Fiat P2P (why it can be "instant"):
Bank transfer is irreversible once confirmed. The seller checks their bank account, sees the money, releases Bitcoin. Done. The fiat can't be clawed back (usually).

Crypto-to-crypto (why we need delays):

We need to perform several security checks before sending your payout:

    Blockchain confirmation verification - Is the transaction actually confirmed, or just broadcast?

    Double-spend checks - Multiple node verification to ensure transaction is valid across our redundant nodes

    RPC sanity checks - Cross-checking multiple nodes to prevent node attack/manipulation

    Fiat value calculation - Fetching real-time rates from multiple sources to determine accurate payout amount

    Liquidity checks - Ensuring we have sufficient reserves for payout

    Security validations - Making sure nothing suspicious about the transaction
    [/list]

    These checks take 30-60 seconds typically.

    Why we use multiple nodes:

    Node attacks aren't uncommon. A malicious actor could spin up a fake node and feed us false information (like fake confirmations). By checking multiple independent nodes, we protect against this.

    Example: If 1 node says "confirmed" but 2 other nodes say "unconfirmed," we know something's wrong and don't process the swap.

    Why we use multiple fiat sources:

    Prevents manipulation. If we used one price source and it gets compromised or shows wrong rates, you could get incorrect payout amounts.

    The 60-second delay protects both you and us.

    • Bitcoin (BTC)Going Live Today


    b1ack is there indeed a slowdown regarding this, you said that BTC will be relaunched on the 15th yesterday. however, as of the 16th, BTC is still unavailable. You haven't given an update on this either? Approximately when will everything be back to normal, I would like to try to make another transaction, I hope I find what you said, "Increased Swap Speed"



    -snip-
    And what kind of commission does the b1exch set to increase priority, and is it permanent?

    I don't think it's permanent. Apart from blockchain fees, there are swap priority fees that are happening you just need to set this section.


    We've been working on internal testing before pushing it live. Happy to announce - it's live now!

    Quick clarification: That's not "swap priority fees" - it's rate protection.

    How rate protection works:

    When you're doing a swap and coin exchange rates move against you, rate protection prevents you from taking a loss.

    Example:
    - You start a BTC → ETH swap
    - Quote: You'll get 10 ETH
    - Rate protection: 3%
    - During processing, ETH price drops
    - You'd now only get 9.5 ETH (>3% loss)
    - Swap automatically cancels
    - You get refunded instead of eating the loss

    It's a safety feature to protect you from unfavorable rate movements during the swap process.

    I'm also waiting for BTC to go live to try and make a swap, let's just keep being patient in the meantime. They did say it was a critical update though, so maybe it's taking a lot more time than they initially expected. Anyway, I'm sure they will post another update when it's ready. Wink

    I'm also eagerly looking forward to the ETH-BTC pair going back online. I've got a handful of ETH just waiting to finally be converted Wink

    Joking aside, b1ack did mention that this is a critical system update. Updates like this can not only take longer than expected—unplanned delays—but also require extensive testing. In this case, it's actually better to be offline for an extra day or two so they can use that time to thoroughly test the software. But in any case, I'm already very excited about the new pairs; I think the integration of additional stablecoins is a great idea.

    Thank you for understanding.

    Our next coin additions will be focused on Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens. We're building the infrastructure to support more ERC-20 stablecoins and tokens.


    We're taking time to do this right - extensive testing before launch to ensure security and reliability.
