About Siacoin

Siacoin (SC) is the native token of Sia, one of the first decentralized storage networks. Sia uses storage contracts on its own blockchain where hosts and renters negotiate storage terms enforced by smart contracts. Files are encrypted, split, and distributed across hosts. SC is used to pay hosts for storage and bandwidth, and hosts must lock SC as collateral to guarantee service. Sia also has Siafunds (SF) which represent a revenue share from all storage contract payouts.

How to Swap SC

Swapping Siacoin (SC) on SyntheticSwap is simple and requires no registration or KYC. Connect your personal crypto wallet, select SC as your source or destination asset, enter your receiving wallet address, and confirm the live exchange rate. Once you send SC to the deposit address provided, SyntheticSwap processes the exchange automatically and delivers the destination asset directly to your wallet. No personal information is collected — fully non-custodial from start to finish.

How to Store SC

SC is stored in the Sia-UI wallet, Sia Central (third-party wallet), or on exchanges. Sia has its own wallet software — no MetaMask support (different chain). ASIC miners can mine SC directly.
