Minimum and Maximum Swap Amounts: What You Need to Know
Every exchange has limits. The minimum covers network fees; the maximum depends on the pair. Here is what that means in practice and how to work with it.
Every swap has a minimum amount. Below it, the order cannot be created. This is not an arbitrary restriction: it is a network fee calculation. If you are sending a very small amount, the network fee can exceed the entire value being swapped.
Where the minimum comes from
Blockchain transfer fees are fixed or close to fixed. If you try to swap the equivalent of a few cents in ETH, the Ethereum network fee alone can cost more than the amount itself. The minimum protects against that.
Different pairs have different minimums. TRC20 pairs tend to be lower; Bitcoin pairs tend to be higher.
Is there a maximum?
For most pairs, yes. It reflects the liquidity available for that pair at that moment. If the amount you want is above the limit, the exchange will not let you create the order, and you can split the amount across separate orders.
How to check before you swap
All limits are visible on the exchange form. Enter the amount you want to send and the exchange shows you immediately whether it falls within the current range. Limits update in real time as market conditions change.
If your amount does not fit
Slightly above the minimum: try rounding up slightly. Below the minimum: splitting it further makes no economic sense. Above the maximum: split into separate orders or wait for the limit to update.
