About Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) came out of a 2017 split from Bitcoin, when part of the community chose bigger blocks so more payments could fit on chain at a low cost. It keeps Bitcoin's proof-of-work mining and UTXO model but runs as its own blockchain with its own coins. People swap BCH when they want to move value out of it into another asset, or when they want BCH for cheap payments and need to convert from a coin they already hold.
Two listings carry the BCH ticker on xswap.to. The main one is native Bitcoin Cash on its own chain, where receiving addresses use the CashAddr format that usually starts with q, often after a bitcoincash: prefix. The second is a BEP-20 version on BNB Smart Chain, which lives at a 0x address and needs BNB for gas when you send it. Neither needs a memo. A native deposit and a BEP-20 deposit are not interchangeable, so pick the listing that matches where your coins sit.
When you swap BCH, the widget gives a floating-rate estimate before you commit, and that figure already has the payout network fee taken out. You then send BCH to a one-time deposit address. Bitcoin Cash targets a block about every 10 minutes, so most of the wait depends on how soon your deposit lands in a block and confirms. If the market moves before that, the final amount can shift a little. The order page shows each stage and the transaction ID.
BCH 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.
| Listing | Network | Type | Memo / tag |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin Cash | Bitcoin Cash | Native coin | Not needed |
| Bitcoin Cash (Binance Smart Chain) | BNB Smart Chain | BEP-20 token | Not needed |
Before you send
- Send native BCH only to a deposit address created for the Bitcoin Cash listing, never to one made for the BEP-20 version.
- Paste a Bitcoin Cash receiving address from the BCH account in your wallet, not a Bitcoin bc1 address from the BTC account.
- Keep a little BNB in your wallet before sending BEP-20 BCH, because BNB Smart Chain charges gas in BNB.
- Copy the BCH transaction ID from your wallet after sending so support can trace the deposit if anything stalls.
BCH Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bitcoin Cash the same coin as Bitcoin?
No, they are separate coins on separate blockchains. Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin in August 2017 over block size, and the two chains share history only up to that fork. Holding BTC does not give you BCH here, so pick the right asset on both sides of the swap.
What address format do I need to receive native BCH?
Use a Bitcoin Cash address, normally in CashAddr format starting with q or bitcoincash:q. Some wallets also show legacy addresses starting with 1, which look like old Bitcoin addresses. Copy the address from the BCH account in your wallet rather than from a BTC account, since a mix-up cannot be reversed.
Can I send BCH on BNB Smart Chain instead?
You can, because xswap.to lists a BEP-20 version of Bitcoin Cash on BNB Smart Chain alongside native BCH. Choose that listing in the widget so the deposit address matches, and keep some BNB for gas. Sending BEP-20 tokens to a native BCH deposit address, or the reverse, can lose the funds.
Does a BCH deposit need a memo or tag?
Bitcoin Cash takes no memo or tag on either listed network. You only enter the amount and your receiving address. If the coin you get in return needs a memo, the widget asks for it when you choose that pair.
Why did I receive a bit less than the first BCH estimate?
Rates are floating, so the estimate is recalculated when your deposit confirms and the exchange runs. A price move while your BCH waits for a block can change the result slightly in either direction. The payout network fee was already deducted in the estimate you saw, so it is not an extra charge.
Who do I contact if my BCH swap seems stuck?
Open the order page first, since it shows whether the deposit is still waiting, confirming or being sent. If the status does not move, message support on Telegram at @xswap_to with your transaction ID. Support reviews each case by hand.
