SideShift.ai

SideShift’s form identifies the sending coin and network separately from the receiving coin, network and address. Choose those endpoints and the rate option, then create the shift. The order supplies the deposit address; the converted coin goes to the receiving wallet.

Fixed and variable work differently

A fixed shift requires the exact sending or receiving amount in advance. Pressing Shift holds its rate for 15 minutes. A different deposit amount is rejected and refunded. A variable shift lets the amount fall within the order’s deposit range and locks its rate when the deposit arrives. Its final receipt can differ from the earlier display.

For fixed shifts, network fees are incorporated in the displayed rate. Variable shifts show them separately on the order page. Hovering over Estimated Network Fees reveals the breakdown, which can include receiving and sending costs.

The minimum and maximum appear during fixed-order entry or on the variable order page. A deposit above the maximum needs manual processing.

Account and access

Creating a shift assigns an account ID with transaction history and a private backup key. SideShift asks users to keep that key securely for continued account access.

Use is personal, requires ownership of the funds and both addresses, and follows an age threshold of 18 or the applicable local legal age. Blocked locations include the US, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Belarus, Eritrea, Syria, Russia and Thailand. The terms additionally exclude citizens, nationals or residents of Saint Kitts and Nevis.

SideShift says flagged transfers receive human review and may require verification before a refund. A wallet-delivery service can therefore still hold up a transfer.
