You send from your own wallet straight to the exchanger — nothing to connect, no account, and you stay on this page throughout. Rates are indicative until a swap is opened.

The swap is carried out by an independent exchanger and the deposit address above is theirs. orymsolana.xyz never holds, receives or controls your funds, has no key to that address, and earns a referral commission. Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms, fees and country restrictions before sending anything.

How do Solana stake accounts work, and why do they exist?

How do you set compute unit limit and price for a Solana transaction

You set the compute unit limit and priority fee directly in the transaction's instructions when you build it, or by using wallet settings that translate your chosen priority level into a price. The compute unit limit caps how much computational work the transaction can request, and the compute unit

What does "blockhash not found" mean on Solana, and how do you avoid it?

A "blockhash not found" error means the transaction you submitted references a recent blockhash that the network no longer recognizes as valid. On Solana, every transaction must include a blockhash from a recent block (typically the last 150 blocks, about 60-90 seconds of chain time). If that blockh

How to convert crypto: on-chain vs off-chain

Off-chain (on an exchange)

Your trade happens inside the exchange's own ledger. Nothing touches the blockchain until you withdraw.

  • Cheapest and fastest for common pairs
  • Needs an account and usually ID verification
  • The exchange holds the coins until you withdraw them
  • Best for converting to and from cash

On-chain (a DEX or swap)

You swap from your own wallet. The transaction settles on the chain and you pay its fee.

  • No account, no custodian — you keep the keys
  • You pay network fees, which vary a lot by chain
  • Small or new tokens often only trade here
  • Slippage and thin liquidity are real costs on low-volume pairs
Before any on-chain swap: check the token's contract address against a block explorer, start with a small test amount, and review what you are approving — an unlimited token approval to an unknown contract is how most wallet drains actually happen.
