Recently we have launched an experimental feature of ETH/BTC swaps via the Avalanche Bridge...
Is there any chance for coins to get seized with AVAX bridge even if amount is lower than 5 BTC?

We performed a lot of testing sending our own high-risk coins in random amounts from 1 to 5 BTC multiple times and no funds were frozen. But this doesn't mean it won't change any soon. We are planning to remove AVAX/ETH bridging bot once THORCHAIN/ETH bot is fully deployed.


Please note that Thorswap doesn't make part of Thorchain at all and as it's just a privacy-hostile frontend for Thorchain, thus, eXch could be used as an alternative frontend to Thorswap (however, for now, limited only to the coins and tokens that we support).
This means we can expect support for more coins when Thorchain is added?

Possibly.



We also don't agree with the general idea that it's exchanges fault if "dirty" money flows through them. We think the root problem is that users who lose their crypto for some reason don't treat their crypto as cash. Someone losing 27$M in cash (or in crypto)
I don't know if this is connected but I heard from our local board that someone from Binance was kidnapped and robbed for millions of USDT in Montenegro.
This incident was later confirmed by CZ, but we know that someone tried to sell this USDT for cash  Cool


CZ's Tweet (https://nitter.cz/cz_binance/status/1723029611796152385) regarding the Montenegro incident is on 10th November. They talk about ~$12.5m in losses and USDT in the Tron network.

The 27$m incident seem to be happened  on 11th November and ocurred in the Ethereum network - https://etherscan.io/tx/0x0f2183c8e415e61b4ad7774bf1097019eb2d5b85798a2a229070495131d60321

It doesn't seem they are connected, even that the second incident happened to the Binance's customer too. Here is also a communication we received from the Binance Security Team regarding the stolen 27$M:

One of our customers was victimized for $27m yesterday. The proceeds have been converted to BTC and some appears to have made its way to eXch. Could you provide data on the following to deposit addresses?

Please also blacklist these BTC addresses associated with the $27m theft. Thanks. @jwright100

These BTC come from Thorchain ETH to BTC swaps originating at https://etherscan.io/address/0xa8d8a06abc05ac7049f0e6941ce82f078e5f5bce#tokentxns

The Binance's customer who lost 27$m had these funds withdrawn from Binance 15 days before the Thorchain swaps happened. The only way these two events may be connected (27$m from hack and ~$12.5m from kidnapping) is in case CZ lied regarding the Tron network and the overall amount. CZ lying publicly is not something rare though.


Hey and thanks for an excellent service. I have used your website to exchange BTC to ETH a couple of times! Cheesy May I ask a question tho? Do you think you will add Solana to your coin list at your website anytime soon?
(maybe this have already been said if so then I missed it sorry)


It is possible that Solana and some more popular currencies will be added, but we will await till the end of some hype trends first, because currently it's hard to tell whether Solana's popularity increase is natural or made up, but of course Visa's adoption is a serious step for it (but let's see if they don't change their mind?). We are also awaiting for more audits in regards to their code and network decentralization.
