Ethereum: seven taps, and half the apps slow you down
Seven taps, five hours. Three of the six apps put something in your way on the route out.
Every site that takes Ethereum
Some of these buttons pay Loon Picks a commission. The sort is the recorded wait on this rail, quickest first, and paying us does not move a row up it.

The chain is not what you are waiting for
Ethereum settles in seconds. Quickest app here returns in ten minutes, slowest in twelve hours, on the same network on the same day. Every one of those hours is an approval queue.
So the five hour median is telling you about the apps, not the coin. Pick a fast one and this rail is quick.
What the friction looks like
Two of the three apps insert an offer screen after you enter the amount. One repeats the confirmation step. Nothing here is hidden or dishonest, it is just deliberately placed where you are most likely to change your mind.
We count the screens and name the pattern on each app teardown.
Gas is usually on them
Most apps here absorb the network fee instead of deducting it, which is worth a few dollars a withdrawal when the chain is busy. Nobody advertises it and you only notice by comparing what you asked for against what landed.
C$10 in, C$20 out.
