Effective July 21, 2025 (Last Updated: September 14, 2025)
At BlockWave Innovations, we believe that pricing for crypto exchange services should be transparent, predictable, and fair. That’s why we’ve designed a simple and straightforward methodology to ensure you get a competitive rate — with no hidden costs.
Where do our exchange rates come from?
To offer you the best possible price at the time of transaction, we use two sources of liquidity:
Our own liquidity reserves - Internal resources that enable us to ensure fast and efficient execution in cases where our internal rate is advantageous.
Trusted external liquidity providers - We are connected in real time to regulated partners (e.g. FinchTrade AG) who provide deep liquidity and competitive market rates.
We automatically compare both sources and choose the more advantageous rate — so you always get the best price available at that moment. At the same time, we keep all exchange rates within a pre-agreed range (±2%) with you as the client.
To ensure a reliable and smooth experience, we use this ±2% price corridor as a form of slippage control. In rapidly changing market conditions or for larger orders, the price may change between the time the quote is displayed and the time it is confirmed. The corridor protects you from excessive fluctuations while maintaining execution flexibility.
This approach is based on industry-standard price tolerance models that balance quote accuracy with execution speed. It ensures that a transaction will complete even in the face of slight market movement — while clearly defining the maximum possible deviation in advance. It is a fair, controlled way to trade in a volatile asset class like crypto.
What is included in the price?
Basic exchange rate - Default rate based on live market quotes and internal price signals.
Exchange rate corridor - Your resulting rate will remain within ±2% of the reference market rate that wewill display to you.
Fixed commercial fee - We charge a flat fee of 0.5% on each transaction — no surprises or additional fees.
