So easy a baby could do it.

There are over 1600 cryptocurrencies out there. Some of them may be good long term investments. Others may offer the chance for high returns in the short term, but are much riskier. Some want to disrupt an industry, while others want to change the world. With so many coins and only so many hours in the day, you’d think that someone would have come up with a more efficient way to trade cryptocurrencies by now. That’s just one of many problems we set out to fix with Faast. Today we’re going to show you how you can use this powerful tool to multiple cryptocurrencies to your wallet at once in a single trade.

Trading Cryptocurrencies Doesn’t Have to be Tedious

We’ve already discussed at length on this blog the many shortcomings of centralized exchanges, from the lack of privacy, the risk of hacking, the need to create multiple accounts on different exchanges just to get the coins you want, and more…. But one problem that does not get talked about as often is how tedious and time-consuming the actual process of building a diversified crypto portfolio can be.

On a normal exchange, you can only make one trade at a time, meaning that you can only add or remove one asset from your wallet per trade. What if there are 10 or 20 different altcoins you want? Well, you’ve got a long day ahead of you, making one trade at a time, and possibly switching back and forth between exchanges until you get everything you want.

Conversely, what if you want to swap those altcoins for Bitcoin, Ethereum or a stable coin like Tether or TrueUSD? Same thing — you’ll be spending your day manually swapping those altcoins one by one.

Not to mention the fact that depending on what you’re trading and what exchanges you are using, those fees could really start to add up.

How to Trade Multiple Cryptocurrencies at Once With Faast

Using Faast’s unique user interface, you can swap a dozen coins in one transaction if you wanted to. Now, in this example, we’re only going to do 5. Let’s break down how this works step by step.

Step 1: Go to https://faa.st/portfolio/connect and connect your hardware or software wallet. (Check out one of our guides for MetaMask, Ledger and Trezor if you don’t know how.)

Step 2: You’ll now see a pie chart of your holdings, along with detailed information about your portfolio below. To swap some of your current holdings, click on the “swap” link at the top of the page.

Step 3: Here you’ll see a breakdown of what is in your wallet. You can click and drag the slider bar to free up funds you can use to acquire new cryptocurrencies, or you can just type in the amount you wish to free up per asset manually. For this trade, we freed up about $70 USD in ETH.

Step 4: Now click the “add assets” button at the top of the page, and select the cryptocurrencies you want from the pop up menu. In this example, we’ll use Golem (GNT), Zilliqa (ZIL), Polymath (POLY), and Civic (CVC) — many of which are projects which he have, as it so happens, featured as Coin of the Week in the past.

Step 5: Allocate the newly freed up ETH as you with. We’ll keep things evenly distributed across all assets, but we’ll add a little extra ZIL because we want to be zillionaires one day. When you’re done, click the “save changes” button at the top of the screen.

Click the “Submit All” button below and confirm the transaction with your wallet. One by one, the trades will occur, as part of one larger transaction.

Step 7: Check back to your portfolio, and your assets will begin to appear as the transactions complete.

Isn’t this easier than spending all day trading the assets you want one by one? If you wanted to swap in 10 cryptocurrencies at once, you can do that too!

It just doesn’t get any simpler than this. Try it out for yourself and see why Faast is making crypto trading easier than ever.
