Switchain

Switchain is a non-custodial cryptocurrency swap platform incorporated in the Marshall Islands and launched in 2017. The service allows users to convert one cryptocurrency to another at fixed rates without creating an account or submitting personal information. It operates as an instant exchange, meaning trades are executed directly without holding user funds at any point.

The platform supports over 150 cryptocurrency assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and various ERC-20 tokens. Switchain offers a public API that enables businesses to embed crypto conversion functionality into their own applications or services. Fixed-rate pricing locks in the quoted exchange rate for a short window, protecting users from slippage during the transaction.

Bitcoin trades on Switchain are processed with zero confirmations, while Ethereum and ERC-20 pairs require a single confirmation, resulting in fast settlement times. The exchange does not publish a traditional maker/taker fee schedule; its margin is embedded in the exchange rate spread. Customer support is available around the clock. Switchain falls under the Coin Converter (Swaps) category of exchanges.
