About Algorand (ALGO)
Algorand (ALGO) is the native coin of a pure proof-of-stake Layer 1 designed by Turing Award winner Silvio Micali. Blocks are final as soon as they are added, so the chain does not fork, and ALGO pays the small fee attached to every transaction. People exchange ALGO on xswap.to when they want to leave Algorand for another chain, or pick up ALGO for an app on the network, with no account to create first.
Algorand is the only network listed for ALGO here, so both the deposit and the payout run on Algorand mainnet. Addresses are 58 characters of capital letters and digits, with no 0x prefix. A memo field appears when you receive ALGO, which matters if the payout goes to an exchange that sorts deposits by note. One protocol detail surprises new users: every Algorand account must keep a minimum balance, so a funded wallet cannot be emptied to zero.
Once you type an amount, the widget gives a floating-rate estimate for the ALGO swap with the exchange margin and the payout network fee already taken out. If the market moves before your deposit confirms, the final figure can differ slightly. Algorand's quick finality means the deposit side rarely holds things up, so the other coin's chain usually decides the wait. Each order gets a page showing its current status and a transaction ID you can quote to support.
ALGO networks on xswap.to
Each network is a separate option in the coin selector. Send and receive only on the network you pick, and use a memo or tag where one is required.

Before you send
- Copy the full 58-character Algorand address for your payout, and never paste an EVM-style 0x address instead.
- Add the memo or note your exchange requires when the ALGO payout goes to an exchange account rather than a personal wallet.
- Leave the Algorand minimum balance plus the transaction fee in your wallet, since the network rejects transfers that drop below it.
- Send ALGO itself to the ALGO deposit address, not USDC or any other Algorand Standard Asset held in the same wallet.
ALGO Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't my Algorand wallet let me send all my ALGO?
Algorand requires every account to keep a minimum balance, and that floor grows for each asset or app the account has opted into. Your wallet blocks transfers that would go below it. Send a slightly smaller amount, or opt out of assets you no longer use, before you create the swap.
Is a memo required when I receive ALGO?
Only when the receiving address belongs to an exchange or service that asks for one. Those platforms use the memo to credit the right user on a shared address. For Pera, Defly or another personal wallet you can leave the field empty.
Will the ALGO deposit address take USDC on Algorand?
No, that deposit address takes ALGO only. Algorand Standard Assets such as USDC use the same address format but are separate assets, so sending one there can lose the funds. Start a separate swap for that asset if it is listed.
Does xswap.to need an account or email to swap ALGO?
There is no account, email or signup. You enter your payout address, send ALGO to a one-time deposit address, and the other coin goes to the address you entered. xswap.to never asks for private keys or a seed phrase at any point.
How long does an ALGO swap usually take?
It depends on confirmations on the sending chain and the payout chain's speed, not on a fixed schedule. Algorand transactions are final once included in a block, so ALGO deposits tend to clear quickly. A payout on a slower chain, or a busy market, can add time.
How can I keep an ALGO swap from going wrong?
Most problems come from details only you can check. Confirm the payout address character by character, add a memo only if the receiver asks for one, and send ALGO on Algorand mainnet. The deposit address is unique to your order, and transfers cannot be reversed once sent.
