title: How can I convert my crypto into LBC?
|
|
category: wallet

|
|
|
The ability to convert your cryptoassets into LBRY Credits (LBC) is available directly within the LBRY app, powered by [ShapeShift](https://info.shapeshift.io/about). LBRY Inc. does not handle any of the incoming funds and the LBC are sent from ShapeShift directly.
|
|
|
|
*Note: ShapeShift is unavailable in New York and Washington (and possibly surrounding areas based on IP geolocation). You will see a `HTTP status code: 403` error if this happens. Please see [ShapeShift](https://shapeshift.io) for more information.*

3. Review the given rate of exchange and min/max amount. ShapeShift charges a small [fee](https://info.shapeshift.io/about) for the transaction

|
4. Enter the return address for the cryptoasset in case something were to go wrong with the process (if address is not provided, you'll need to contact ShapeShift about your refund).
