AltoSwap never holds your funds: you send USDC to a one-time deposit address and the ETH is paid straight to the wallet you provide. There is no account, no email and no identity check at any step.
Because USDC is pegged to the US dollar, this swap is effectively buying Ethereum at its dollar price, minus the spread, without opening an exchange account, passing verification or waiting for a withdrawal.
Your ETH is paid on Ethereum. Use an address that starts with 0x and is 42 characters long.

No. AltoSwap holds no licence in Kenya. It is a non-custodial aggregator: it never holds your coins, and each swap is carried out by the exchange or network on the route.
No. AltoSwap swaps crypto for crypto only. Buy your USDC first, then swap it here.
No. AltoSwap asks for no account, email or documents, and by default routes through exchanges rated A for KYC, which do not ask for them either.
Enter the USDC amount on this page, paste your ETH address and send your USDC 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 ETH is paid directly to your wallet.
At the last update, 1 USDC ≈ 0.00050291 ETH (from 4 no-KYC offers compared for 500 USDC). Rates move with the market every few seconds, so use the calculator at the top of the page for the live rate on your exact amount.
The minimum is about 6.91 USDC and the maximum about 2,157,973 USDC. Limits vary slightly between exchanges and follow market prices; the form tells you immediately if your amount is outside the range.
Usually around 8 min. Most of that is waiting for your USDC deposit to confirm on Ethereum, which takes about 2-5 minutes. 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 Ethereum and Ethereum 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 ETH is paid on Ethereum. Use an address that starts with 0x and is 42 characters long. 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 Ethereum 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 Ethereum network fee to send the deposit.
Yes. The reverse direction, ETH to USDC, 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.
