Julia Brenner writes the Test8 blog: swap route breakdowns, step-by-step guides and answers to the questions support gets most often.

Working with crypto since 2018, starting on the support side of exchange services — chasing stuck transactions and transfers sent to the wrong network. That is where the habit of explaining chains and fees in plain words instead of linking to documentation comes from.

Topics covered here: how to pick the right network for a transfer and why an address from another chain loses funds, the difference between fixed and floating rates, how many confirmations each coin needs, and what to do when a transfer goes somewhere unintended.

Everything is checked in practice: each guide is walked through by hand before publication, and the figures in articles are verified against market data on the day they go out. When something changes, the article is updated rather than left with last year's rate.
