How the swap works
-
Enter the ETH amount and your Decred payout address on Decred mainnet.
-
Confirm to open the live quote and the deposit address for this PrivSwap session.
-
Send ETH to that deposit. After the required confirmations, DCR is paid to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- Base confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Send ETH on Base mainnet only — not Ethereum L1, Optimism, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- Use a Base-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Base for gas on top of the swap amount — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
- If DCR is not visible yet, wait a few minutes and resync the wallet. When the order already lists a payout tx, message support with your Exchange ID.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
ETH on Base mainnet
Use a Base wallet for deposits. Ethereum mainnet ETH is a different network — wrong-chain sends may not be credited — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Leave enough ETH on Base for gas in addition to the amount you swap — privacy-first on PrivSwap.
Decred
Credit DCR only on Decred mainnet. A send on any other rail will not credit this PrivSwap order.
When DCR arrives
Set your wallet to Decred mainnet.
If the order already lists a payout tx, wait a few minutes and resync before messaging PrivSwap support.

Privacy swap FAQ
Does ETH to DCR require KYC or an account?
No. PrivSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Ethereum (Base) to Decred.
How long until DCR arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. Base mainnet deposit confirmations and Decred mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold ETH or DCR for me?
No. You send ETH from a wallet you control and DCR is paid to the address you provide — PrivSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send ETH on the wrong chain?
Use Base mainnet exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
