Which network should I choose when swapping NEAR to BCH on Zest?

Both NEAR and BCH are supported on their native networks and on BNB Smart Chain. You should select the same network context on both sides — if you are sending NEAR via BNB Smart Chain, ensure your BCH receiving address is also a BNB Smart Chain-compatible address. Using mismatched networks is the most common cause of failed or delayed swaps on this route.

Does Bitcoin Cash use a different address format from BNB Smart Chain?

Yes. Native BCH addresses typically use the CashAddr format, which looks distinct from Ethereum-style addresses used on BNB Smart Chain. Before confirming your swap, make sure the destination address format matches the BCH network you selected in the exchange. Pasting an address intended for one network into a field configured for another can result in unrecoverable funds.

Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for NEAR to BCH?

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of BCH you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your NEAR deposit confirms does not change the payout. A floating rate follows the market and can pay slightly more or less at execution time. You can choose either in the swap form before confirming.

How long does a NEAR to BCH exchange take?

Timing depends on how quickly your NEAR deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and BCH network conditions. Congestion on either network can extend the wait, and the order page tracks each step while your swap runs.

Do I need an account to exchange NEAR for BCH?

No signup is required for standard swaps. Zest is non-custodial — you send NEAR from your own wallet and receive BCH at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.

Swapping NEAR for Bitcoin Cash lets holders of the NEAR Protocol token move value into a proof-of-work asset with broad merchant and peer-to-peer payment acceptance. BCH's SHA-256 mining model and focus on medium-of-exchange utility make it a practical destination for traders looking to shift from a smart-contract ecosystem token into a payments-oriented cryptocurrency. Both assets are available on their native networks as well as BNB Smart Chain, giving users flexibility in how they route the swap.

How to swap NEAR for BCH

1
Open the exchange widget and select NEAR as the send currency and BCH as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
2
Enter the amount of NEAR you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
3
Paste your BCH wallet address into the recipient field and double-check it. Select the network your wallet supports -- the receive network must match where your address lives.
4
Click Exchange and send your NEAR to the deposit address shown. Your BCH arrives once the transaction confirms on-chain.

Before exchanging NEAR → BCH

Before confirming a NEAR to BCH swap, verify which network you are sending NEAR from — either the native NEAR network or BNB Smart Chain — and make sure your receiving wallet supports the corresponding BCH network you select. Mixing networks, for example sending on BNB Smart Chain while expecting funds on the native BCH chain, will result in funds not arriving as intended. Neither NEAR nor BCH requires a memo or destination tag on any available network for this route, so no extra identifier is needed. Settlement time can vary depending on network congestion and the number of confirmations required on each chain, so allow some time before assuming an issue. Double-check the destination BCH address format before submitting, as native BCH addresses and BNB Smart Chain addresses are formatted differently.
