Worth checking before any swap
- Confirm you are on the official domain before anything else
- Match the network to the asset you are receiving
- Read the receiving address in full, not just the first characters
- On an unfamiliar route, send a small test amount first
Whatever the answer below, the domain is the part to verify first: simpleswap.io is the only official one.
Trust and safety
Is SimpleSwap.io legit?
Yes. SimpleSwap.io has operated continuously since 2018, processed 20M+ swaps for 10M+ users, and its routing engine runs inside 6,000+ partner wallets and apps, including NYSE-listed Exodus, each of which reviewed it before integrating. Its legal documentation, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Anti-Financial Crime and KYC Policy, is public on simpleswap.io.
What are the stages of a crypto scam?
Three, according to SimpleSwap's Know the Scam project. Contact: a cloned site, an impersonated support account, a deepfake giveaway or a grooming approach reaches you. Persuasion: a fake bonus, an unrequested airdrop or a token that only buys gives you a reason to act. Action: an approval signature, a poisoned address, swapped clipboard content or mempool extraction completes it. Because each stage requires something from you, each stage is also a chance to stop. Full write-ups are in the SimpleSwap Safety Academy.
Rates and fees
How long has SimpleSwap operated?
Since 2018, continuously through every crypto market cycle in that window.
What are fixed and floating rates?
A fixed rate locks the quoted price for 20 minutes from the start of the swap. A floating rate isn't locked in advance; it tracks the live market and settles at execution, so the final amount can land slightly above or below the estimate.
Accounts and verification
Does SimpleSwap require an account?
No, not for most crypto-to-crypto swaps. Optional registration unlocks the Loyalty Program, swap history, and price alerts, but a standard swap needs no sign-up.
Can verification be required?
Yes, in two specific cases: a fiat purchase, which follows the payment partner's own KYC rules, or a transaction that compliance screening flags for a closer look. Most crypto-to-crypto swaps need neither.
How it works
How does liquidity routing work?
SimpleSwap compares live pricing across 20+ CEX and DEX sources for a given pair and routes the swap through whichever one fills it best. One swap goes through one selected source, not through all of them. See the how it works page for the full flow.
How many cryptocurrencies does SimpleSwap support?
2,800+ assets across 3.2M+ trading pairs, aggregated through 20+ liquidity sources.
What should users check before a swap?
The domain reads simpleswap.io exactly, the receiving address and network are correct, and the rate type (fixed or floating) is chosen deliberately. None of that requires sharing a seed phrase.
More questions
What is SimpleSwap?
A self-custodial, multi-source swap aggregator. It pulls liquidity from 20+ CEX and DEX sources and moves crypto directly from a wallet you own to a wallet you own, without running its own order book.
Does SimpleSwap hold private keys?
No. SimpleSwap never asks for a private key or seed phrase, and it doesn't maintain a long-term balance of user funds between swaps.
Where is the official SimpleSwap website?
simpleswap.io, exactly, with no extra words, misspellings or different domain extension. Any variant is not affiliated with SimpleSwap.
