Where does the 17.6627 LINK floor come from?

What else is taken on top of the rate?

The payout is already calculated at the rate in the calculator. On top of it you only pay the network fee for sending LINK, and that one goes to the blockchain, not to us.

How long does LINK to DAI take?

The clock starts with confirmations: the order goes into work once Chainlink confirms your transfer. After that it comes down to how busy the network is.

Which network will DAI arrive in?

Dai leaves in its own Dai network — a plain DAI address is all you need.

What if the rate moves while I am paying?

The rate is pinned to the order and does not move while the order is alive. It can be recalculated if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.

Can I go back, DAI to LINK?
