Swap Execution Time Analysis
Below is a detailed breakdown of average swap execution times across different blockchain networks.
Transaction Time by Chain
| Chain | Average Time | Block Time | Confirmations | Additional Time* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | 6-8 mins | 12 sec | 32 blocks | 1-40 mins |
| BNB Chain | 1-2 mins | 3 sec | 20 blocks | 6-40 mins |
| Bitcoin | 30-40 mins | 10 mins | 3 blocks | 1-12 mins |
| Polygon | 10-12 mins | 2 sec | 300 blocks | 1-40 mins |
| Base | 10-12 mins | 2 sec | 300 blocks | 1-40 mins |
*Additional Time: Includes ZetaChain confirmation and exit transaction time
Factors Affecting Swap Time
-
Network Congestion
- Peak hours can increase times by 50-200%
- Gas price impacts priority
-
Swap Complexity
- Single-hop: Base time
- Multi-hop: Add 1-3 seconds per hop
- Cross-chain: Base time + ZetaChain processing (1-2 mins)
-
Block Confirmation Requirements
- Chain-specific confirmation counts
- ZetaChain confirmation time
- Exit transaction confirmation time
