FAQ

Is SwapRocket actually cheaper than ChangeNOW?

For any given pair, SwapRocket compares ChangeNOW's quote against every other connected provider and routes to the best. If ChangeNOW is the best that moment, your trade goes through them. If not, you get a better rate elsewhere — automatically.

Does ChangeNOW support more networks than SwapRocket?

Yes — ChangeNOW lists 70+ networks; SwapRocket lists 30+ across its aggregated providers. For niche or brand-new networks, ChangeNOW may have coverage SwapRocket doesn't. For the top 30 networks that carry the vast majority of volume, SwapRocket will match or beat their rate.

Is SwapRocket also no-KYC?

Yes for on-chain swaps. Both providers apply risk-based review for outliers. Neither requires an account for standard-sized trades.

Which is faster?

Settlement time is set by the source network's confirmations, not by the frontend. Both typically complete in 5–20 minutes.
