Buy Tokens That Are Not Listed on Crypto.com App
At Crypto.com Onchain Wallet, we empower you to access a wide range of tokens across various blockchains, even those not listed on centralized exchanges like the Crypto.com App. Our wallet provides a seamless way to purchase these tokens using fiat currency, leveraging the power of decentralized finance (DeFi).
How It Works
Fiat to Native Coin Purchase: When you want to buy a token not listed on the Crypto.com App, you start by purchasing the native coin of the blockchain that supports your desired token (e.g., ETH for Ethereum, SOL for Solana, etc.). This is done through our current fiat on-ramp channels, who facilitate the conversion of your fiat currency (like USD, EUR, etc.) into the native coin.
Native Swap in the Wallet: Once you have the native coin in your self-custody wallet, you can use our integrated native swap feature. This feature connects to decentralized exchanges (DEXs). The feature finds the best available price for swapping your native coin into the desired token by routing the trade through one or more DEXs.
Confirming the Swap: You’ll be guided to review and confirm the swap transaction directly in the wallet. This transaction is submitted to the blockchain, where it interacts with the DEX’s smart contracts to complete the swap. Once confirmed on-chain, the new token appears in your wallet.
What’s Happening Behind the Scenes?
Crypto.com Onchain Wallet is not an exchange. It’s a self-custody blockchain wallet that enables you to interact directly with DeFi protocols. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Self-Custody Wallet: You control your private keys and assets at all times. We do not hold or manage your funds.
Fiat On-Ramp: Our onramp channels handle the fiat-to-crypto conversion, ensuring compliance with local regulations. These partners are responsible for processing your fiat payment and delivering the native coin to your wallet.
DEX Integration: Our native swap feature integrated multiple DEXs. This feature optimizes your trade by finding the best price across various liquidity pools, ensuring efficiency and transparency.
Blockchain Interaction: When you confirm a swap, your wallet submits the transaction to the blockchain. The transaction interacts with the DEX’s smart contracts, which execute the swap. This process is entirely on-chain, transparent, and independent of Crypto.com Onchain Wallet.
Important Notes
Onramp: The fiat-to-crypto conversion is handled by regulated providers. Please review their terms and conditions before proceeding.
Blockchain Fees: Swaps on DEXs require gas fees, which vary depending on the blockchain’s network conditions.
Price Volatility: Token prices on DEXs can fluctuate rapidly. The price you see when initiating a swap may differ slightly by the time the transaction is confirmed on-chain.
Regulatory Compliance: Crypto.com Onchain Wallet does not facilitate the trading of tokens directly. We provide tools for you to interact with DeFi protocols, and you are responsible for ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations.
