## Common questions

### Is Exodus or ChainATM better for buying and sending crypto?

It depends on which part you do most. Pick Exodus if what your use case turns on is what it is strongest at: Polished desktop and mobile apps; Very broad asset support. ChainATM is the better choice if you want to buy, swap and send from one conversation instead of three separate flows, and it charges 0% ChainATM fees on USDC and EURC. ChainATM is non-custodial throughout: it never holds your funds, and purchases are executed by Coinbase straight into a wallet you control.

### What does Exodus cost compared to ChainATM?

Exodus: A spread built into in-app swap quotes; onramp partner fees vary. ChainATM: 1 credit per transaction, from EUR 0.099 per credit, and 0% ChainATM fees on purchases of USDC and EURC. Other tokens use standard Coinbase on-ramp pricing. Network gas fees apply on both sides and go to the blockchain, not to the provider.

### Can I use Exodus and ChainATM together?

Yes. ChainATM is self-custody and does not require you to move away from Exodus. Many people keep Exodus and use ChainATM for the parts that are awkward elsewhere: cross-chain swaps in a single command, or fee-free USDC and EURC purchases.

### Does ChainATM hold my crypto like Exodus does?

No. Neither product holds your crypto: Exodus and ChainATM are both self-custody. The difference is the interface, not the custody model. ChainATM is driven by plain-language text or voice rather than by forms, and we never have access to your keys in usable form.

### Is ChainATM available in my country?

Availability depends on our on-ramp partners' supported regions. ChainATM is built by Noctra Labs UG (haftungsbeschränkt) in Trier, Germany, registered at Amtsgericht Wittlich under HRB 48033. The fiat on-ramp runs through Coinbase, with EUR purchases by SEPA, card and Apple Pay.
