Do I need an account to swap USDT to BTC on Kotova X?

No. Kotova X requires no account, no registration, and no identity verification by Kotova. All you need is a receiving wallet address. Connected liquidity providers may run their own verification in specific risk cases.

What is the difference between a fixed and a variable rate?

With a fixed rate, the amount you receive is locked when the order is created, provided your deposit arrives within the deposit window. With a variable rate, the final amount is set when your deposit reaches the required network confirmations — it can end up higher or lower than the estimate.

What is Freeze Protection?

Freeze Protection restricts your swap to providers whose design means they cannot hold or freeze your deposit mid-swap. With it enabled, only such no-freeze providers are quoted; these routes are variable-rate and always ask for a refund address.

Are there hidden fees when swapping USDT to BTC?

The quoted rate is what you get — provider spread, service fee, and the payout network fee are already included in the displayed receive amount. The only cost not included is the network fee your own wallet pays to send the deposit.

Rate type

Fixed or variable — you choose

Fixed Rate

The amount you receive is locked the moment your order is created — provided your USDT deposit arrives within the deposit window. Market moves during confirmation no longer affect you. Ideal when certainty matters more than squeezing out the last basis point.

Variable Rate

The final rate is set once your deposit reaches the required network confirmations. You ride the market until execution — the outcome can be better or worse than the estimate. Often quoted slightly tighter than fixed, and some providers only serve variable.

The toggle sits in the bottom left. Switching it updates all quotes. Some providers don't support a fixed rate at all or for specific assets. Next to the toggle you always see the total estimated cost (spread) of the swap as one percentage. This spread includes all fees of the swap.

Security

Freeze Protection

Most instant exchanges are operated by companies that can pause a deposit mid-swap for AML or fraud checks. Kotova X makes that risk visible — and lets you opt out of it entirely. With Freeze Protection enabled, only providers whose design means they cannot hold your funds are quoted; today that is the decentralized Chainflip protocol.

The trade-off is transparency, not magic: with Freeze Protection on you'll see fewer assets and routes, quotes are variable-rate only, and a refund address is always required so any failed swap returns funds automatically. You can toggle it per device in the Settings panel on the swap form — and even with it off, a shield icon lights up whenever the winning route happens to be freeze-proof.
