Frequently asked questions about FixedFloat

General

Do I need to register on FixedFloat?
No. Standard cryptocurrency pairs require zero account, zero email and zero government ID. The FF platform was built around the principle that an exchange does not need an account to do its job.
Is ff-io.io the same as ff.io?
Yes. ff-io.io is the official mirror of the original ff.io / FixedFloat exchange and runs the same engine, the same hot-wallet liquidity and the same support team.
Is FixedFloat available in the United States?
Yes. The platform is accessible from US-based traffic. Because the service is non-custodial and does not provide fiat banking or staking, it operates outside regulated brokerage activity. US users remain responsible for their own tax reporting on capital gains.

Exchange process

How long does an exchange take?
Most swaps complete in 5 to 30 minutes. Fast chains like TRC-20 and Solana finish in under a minute on the receive side; the bottleneck is usually the deposit chain confirmation time (BTC averages 10 minutes per block).
What is the difference between fixed and float rate?
Fixed rate locks the price the moment you confirm the order — you receive exactly the displayed amount regardless of how the market moves. Float rate uses the live mid-market price at payout, with no spread but with the upside/downside of market movement.
What happens if I send the wrong amount?
FixedFloat detects the actual amount received. If it is below the order minimum, the engine offers a refund-to-source. If it differs from the expected amount but is within the platform's tolerance, the order will be processed and the output adjusted proportionally.
Can I cancel an order?
An order can be voluntarily cancelled before any deposit is detected. Once a deposit is on-chain it is processed automatically. If you no longer want the swap, the engine offers a refund flow.

Fees and limits

How much does FixedFloat charge?
The platform fee starts at 0.5% per swap. The on-chain network fee depends on the receive-chain — typically a few cents on TRC-20, a few dollars on ERC-20 during congestion. There are no other charges.
Is there a maximum amount?
For standard pairs, very large orders may be capped by the size of the FixedFloat hot wallet on the receive-chain at that moment. The widget shows the current per-pair maximum live.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The number you see in the widget is the number you receive. No idle-balance fees, no withdrawal fees, no spread on float-rate orders.

Security and privacy

Does FixedFloat ever ask for KYC?
For standard pairs, no. In the rare event that an incoming address is flagged as high-risk by industry blockchain analytics (sanctioned addresses, confirmed darknet sources, proceeds of public hacks), the order is paused and our compliance team contacts the user. This is an exception path; the typical user never sees it.
What does the "FixedFloat exchange hot wallet" mean?
It is a pre-funded liquidity reserve held on each supported network. The hot wallet pays out the receiving asset the moment your deposit reaches the required confirmation threshold. Cold storage holds the bulk of platform inventory and is rebalanced on a schedule.
Is my data stored?
FixedFloat retains the minimum logs required to deliver the service safely and to comply with legitimate legal requests. We never sell or share user data with marketers. See the privacy policy for details.

USDT and chains

What's the difference between TRC-20 and ERC-20 USDT?
Both are native USDT, but on different blockchains. TRC-20 lives on Tron — almost-zero fees, fast confirmations. ERC-20 lives on Ethereum — higher gas, but maximum DeFi compatibility.
Can I exchange USDT between chains?
Yes. FixedFloat acts as an instant cross-chain bridge for stablecoins. Send TRC-20 USDT, receive ERC-20 USDT (or vice-versa) — native USDT on both ends, no wrapping, no smart-contract bridge.

Order tracking

Where do I track my exchange?
Every order has a unique URL with a status timeline (awaiting → received → confirmed → exchange → done). Bookmark it; you can come back later to see input and output transaction hashes.
