FAQ

Is SwapRocket cheaper than Changelly?

Because SwapRocket routes each swap to whichever provider (Changelly, ChangeNOW, SimpleSwap, FixedFloat, and DEX routes) pays out the most at that moment, the aggregated quote typically matches or beats going direct to Changelly. SwapRocket adds no spread on top, so the rate you see is all-in.

Does SwapRocket use Changelly under the hood?

Yes — Changelly is one of the liquidity providers SwapRocket polls on every quote. When Changelly wins the auction for your pair, your trade routes through them; otherwise it goes to whichever provider is paying the most.

Do I need an account with SwapRocket like I do with Changelly?

No. SwapRocket is fully non-custodial and account-free for standard swaps. Changelly is also non-custodial but offers an optional account for order history and rewards.

What about KYC?

Both are risk-based. SwapRocket only KYCs on the fiat on-ramp side. Changelly can request KYC mid-swap on flagged transactions, which occasionally freezes funds until verification completes.
