Exchange crypto from your terminal
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect over Tor/I2P?
You need tor or i2pd installed and running on your machine. The connection commands are in the hero above — they use ncat to proxy through your local tor/i2p SOCKS port.
How do I track my past swaps?
Connect with an SSH key — we associate your SSH public key ID with your swaps, so your swap history shows up automatically on subsequent connections.
If you're not using a key, you can press l and enter your swap ID manually. A swap ID looks like: coral-ember-drift-47293
I need help with a swap, what do I do?
Contact us via email, Matrix, or Telegram (see below). Please include your swap ID so we can look it up quickly.
What do the swap statuses mean?
Awaiting deposit: Swap created, waiting for user to send funds to the deposit address
Confirming: Deposit received, waiting for blockchain confirmations
Exchanging: Funds confirmed, exchange is processing the swap
Sending: Exchange complete, funds being sent to user's withdrawal address
Completed: Swap finished successfully, user received funds
Expired: User didn't deposit within the time window (10 minutes)
Refunding: Something went wrong, funds being returned to user
Refunded: Refund completed, user got their original funds back
Partial: Deposit was less than the minimum amount, a partial exchange was processed
Halted: Exchange was halted and requires manual intervention — contact support
Failed: Swap failed (generic failure state)
Why does it look ugly on my terminal?
Because you're not using Gruvbox.
Why does this exist?
TUIs are awesome. Not having to access things over a web browser may provide better privacy/security and there is little attack surface.
