Before you swap
Swaps send to and from your own Bitcoin Cash address, with no wrapped token in between. Send to an address you control rather than an exchange deposit address.
Shieldz charges 0.15% per swap. MetaMask's built-in swap charges 0.875% and Phantom's 0.85%, so on $1,000 that is $1.50 here against about $8.75. Compare on your own amount.

How do I swap to Bitcoin Cash?
Open Shieldz Swap, pick the coin you have and BCH as the coin you want, then paste a Bitcoin Cash address you control. Shieldz shows a quote from each protocol, and you sign the deposit in your own wallet.
Which Bitcoin Cash tokens can I swap?
Right now: BCH. The list comes from the router's live catalogue and grows as the protocols add assets.
How long does a swap to or from Bitcoin Cash take?
It depends on the route and on confirmations on the chain you send from. The app shows an estimate on every quote.
What does it cost?
Shieldz charges 0.15% on every swap. On top of that you pay the network fee on the chain you send from and the swap protocol's own pricing, which is already included in the quote. Wallet swap features typically charge 0.25% to 1%.
Which wallets can I use with Bitcoin Cash?
To pay from Bitcoin Cash: Ledger, Trezor and Keystone. To receive on Bitcoin Cash, paste any Bitcoin Cash address you control.
Is it safe? Do I need an account?
