Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions before getting started.

Is Elbaite an exchange?

No. Elbaite is a self-custody marketplace, not a centralized exchange. You buy from verified sellers and receive crypto directly to your wallet. USD is held in escrow and released to the seller only after on-chain delivery is confirmed.

Why is Elbaite the best option for funding Web3?

It’s fast, transparent, and wallet-first. Add funds in USD, buy crypto, and receive it directly to your wallet - no custody and no hidden platform fees.

How does payment and delivery work?

Add funds via wire transfer, select an offer, and confirm. Your USD stays in escrow and is released only after your on-chain transfer to the specified wallet is confirmed.

Can I use a hardware wallet?

Yes - Ledger, Trezor and others work seamlessly. Add your receive address to your Address Book and select it at checkout to receive crypto there directly.

Do you custody my crypto?

No. We never hold your crypto. We operate the USD side via escrow and release funds to the seller only after delivery to your wallet is confirmed on-chain.

What makes Elbaite different from other on-ramps?

We’re wallet-first and escrow-backed. You add funds in USD, choose a marketplace offer, and the seller delivers crypto straight to your address. We never connect to or custody your wallet. USD releases only after your on-chain delivery is verified.

Do I need to connect my wallet?

No. You never need to connect your wallet to Elbaite. Add your destination addresses to your Address Book (hardware wallets, self-custody apps or platform receive addresses for example). When you buy, simply select your destination wallet address from your address book. Elbaite will never ask for your seed phrase or private keys.

What are the fees?

A simple 1% buy fee is applied to your purchase. No platform funding fees. (Network fees may apply). View Elbaite fee information here.

Are there limits?

Yes - limits typically apply based on verification level. You can view your account limits in your profile under account tiers. If you are interested in trading volumes larger then you currently have, please contact our team directly via the in-app support portal.

How do I contact support?

The fastest way to contact support is via the in-app support portal. Simply log in, and select 'support' from the main menu. If you are not able to log in, fill out our contact form here and we will be in touch as soon as possible.
