Bitcoin Cash Swap (BCH)
Bitcoin Cash is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency that split from Bitcoin to focus on on-chain payments with larger block capacity and low fees. It shares Bitcoin's basic design and UTXO model, but it is a separate network with its own coin, BCH. Bitcoin Cash introduced the CashAddr address format to reduce confusion with Bitcoin addresses.
People exchange Bitcoin Cash to make low-fee payments, to move value between wallets, or to convert BCH into other coins. With BreezeSwap you send BCH to a one-time deposit address for your order, and the payout goes directly to your wallet. No account or sign-up is required. Most exchanges take 5–30 minutes, depending on confirmations on both networks.

Tips for sending and receiving BCH
- Bitcoin Cash uses the CashAddr format, such as bitcoincash:q..., and some wallets still show the legacy format. Check which format your wallet expects before sending or receiving.
- Legacy BCH addresses look like Bitcoin addresses. Never send BCH to a Bitcoin address or BTC to a Bitcoin Cash address.
- Deposits are processed after network confirmations, with blocks about every 10 minutes on average.

Bitcoin Cash exchange FAQ
CashAddr is the Bitcoin Cash address format that usually starts with bitcoincash:q. It was introduced so BCH addresses are easy to tell apart from Bitcoin addresses.
Legacy and CashAddr formats can point to the same account, but not every wallet accepts both. Check the format your wallet shows and use a Bitcoin Cash address, never a Bitcoin one.
No. They share a common history but are separate networks with separate coins. Sending one to the other's address may lead to loss or require manual recovery.
