Algorand and Decred live on different blockchains, and this swap uses the native assets on both, with no bridge contract and no wrapped token. The exchange receives ALGO on Algorand and pays out DCR on Decred.
Your DCR is paid on Decred. Use an address that starts with Ds.
Type how much ALGO you want to swap (minimum about 38.2 ALGO). The DCR you will receive updates live.
A top no-KYC rate is already chosen for you. The form shows what you receive, how long it usually takes and the KYC rating of the route.
Paste the Decred address where you want to be paid. A refund address for your ALGO is optional but recommended.
Send the exact amount to the deposit address on Algorand. After it confirms (a few seconds), the DCR is sent to your address.

Enter the ALGO amount on this page, paste your DCR address and send your ALGO to the deposit address shown. AltoSwap has no accounts and asks for no identity documents, and it routes your swap through exchanges rated A for KYC, meaning providers that do not run identity checks. The DCR is paid directly to your wallet.
The rate moves with the market every few seconds and depends on the amount. The calculator at the top of this page requests live quotes from 20+ exchanges and shows the best current ALGO to DCR rate for the amount you enter.
The minimum is about 38.2 ALGO and the maximum about 11,929,882 ALGO. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
Usually 5 to 30 minutes. Most of that is waiting for your ALGO deposit to confirm on Algorand, which takes a few seconds. There is no verification step, so nothing else adds to the wait.
AltoSwap does not know who you are (no account, no email, no identity checks) and the default route uses no-KYC exchanges. Both Algorand and Decred are public ledgers, though, so the transactions themselves are visible on-chain. For on-chain privacy, swap into a privacy coin such as Monero.
Your DCR is paid on Decred. Use an address that starts with Ds. Always use an address in a wallet you control and double-check the first and last characters before sending.
Everything. The exchange's spread, the Decred network fee for the payout and any service commission are already inside the quoted rate, so the amount shown is what you receive: exactly on a fixed rate, approximately on a floating rate. You only pay your own Algorand network fee to send the deposit.
Yes. The reverse direction, DCR to ALGO, works the same way and has its own page and live rate on AltoSwap. Each direction is quoted independently, so the two rates are not exact mirrors of each other.
