Opening a swap sends your receiving address, IP, browser and timezone to the exchanger for their compliance checks; we store none of it. Check their terms, fees and country restrictions before sending anything.

This article explains how to identify and record b
A Coinbase CSV export shows negative balances because the exchange records transactions in a ledger format that does not automatically adjust for deposits or transfers that happened before the export period.

Your trade happens inside the exchange's own ledger. Nothing touches the blockchain until you withdraw.
You swap from your own wallet. The transaction settles on the chain and you pay its fee.
