What Is Swapzone? How the Crypto Swap Aggregator Works

Swapzone is a comparison site for crypto swaps. You enter a pair, such as BTC to XMR, and it lists live quotes from partner instant exchangers. Each quote shows the rate, the estimated time and a user rating. You then run the swap with the provider you pick, without leaving Swapzone 3. No account is needed, and Swapzone doesn't hold your coins 8. The partner exchange performs the trade and runs any identity checks 5. Swapzone is operated by Block Back LLC in Tbilisi, Georgia 1. It has been public since at least March 2020 12.

Who operates Swapzone

The Terms of Use name Block Back LLC, a Georgian company (registration no. 402184710), as the legal entity. Georgian law governs. If negotiation fails, disputes go to the courts in Tbilisi 1. The About page gives a different Tbilisi street address from the Terms. Both name the same company 12.

Swapzone describes itself as a technology and information service, not an exchange. When you swap, the trade is governed by the partner exchange's own terms, which you must accept as well 5.

How a Swapzone swap works

  1. Choose the pair and amount. Swapzone queries its partners' APIs and lists offers. It ranks them by rate and labels each one fixed or floating 3.
  2. Pick an offer. Each shows the amount you'll receive, an estimated completion time and a rating built from Trustpilot reviews and post-swap feedback 3.
  3. Enter your receiving address and send the deposit. The deposit address comes from the chosen provider, and that provider does the conversion 35.
  4. Track the order. Swapzone has an order-ID lookup on its site. The partner's support handles problems with the swap itself 5.

Fixed vs floating. A floating offer can pay more or less than quoted if the market moves while the swap runs. A fixed offer locks the amount for the provider's set time window 3.

Swapzone doesn't support deposits from hidden networks or withdrawals to Litecoin MWEB addresses 7.

Is Swapzone a DEX?

No. The core product sends you to centralized instant-exchange services, which take your deposit and pay out the other coin 35. Swapzone also has a separate DEX section. It aggregates on-chain swaps on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Fantom, Optimism, Polygon, Base and TON 9. There, you sign the trade from your own wallet. See what a DEX is for the difference.

Fees: who gets paid

Swapzone doesn't add a line-item fee. The Terms say the service is free to users and that Swapzone receives no payment from buyers. Each partner's fees are already built into the quote you see 4. Swapzone is paid by its partners. Its affiliate program offers referrers up to 50% revenue share on completed swaps 11, and a 2020 company post mentioned it giving up part of "its own revenue" on promoted partners 12. So rankings reflect partner quotes, and Swapzone has a commercial relationship with every listed provider.

What you actually pay:

  • the partner's margin, inside the quoted rate;
  • the network fee for your deposit;
  • the payout network fee, usually taken from what you receive (see network fees).

Comparing the "you get" figure across offers already accounts for partner fees. It doesn't include your own deposit fee.

KYC and holds

Swapzone doesn't verify identity itself, but its partners can. The Terms put KYC and AML checks on the partner exchanges, which can hold a swap and ask for documents under their own policies 5. Swapzone can also ask for information and delay or block activity it considers suspicious 5. Check a provider's KYC and refund terms before you send funds, especially for larger amounts.

Who can use it

The Terms limit Swapzone to personal, non-commercial use by people of legal age where swapping crypto is lawful 6. They name 31 jurisdictions where it is not available:

  • Africa: Algeria, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Lesotho, Libya, Morocco, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tunisia
  • Middle East: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Yemen
  • Asia: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, China, Myanmar, Nepal, North Korea
  • Europe: North Macedonia, Russia
  • Americas: Bolivia

The United States is not on that list. Partner exchanges set their own country restrictions, and some exclude US residents.

Custody, refunds and practical risks

Swapzone never holds your coins 8. While a swap runs, your deposit sits with the partner exchange. If something goes wrong, you rely on that partner's support and refund policy. The Terms say Swapzone can't be responsible for refunds or reimbursements 4. They cap its total liability at US$25. They also say it will compensate only for proven technical errors on its own platform, under an internal policy 7. See self-custody for how this compares with exchange-held funds.

  • Partner risk. Ratings come from reviews, not audits 3. A provider can freeze a swap for compliance checks.
  • Rate movement on floating offers 3.
  • Wrong network or memo. Unsupported networks may mean lost funds 7.
  • Impersonation. Use only swapzone.io. Support never needs your seed phrase. See how to avoid crypto scams.

For partners and developers

Swapzone offers a public exchange API (documented on Postman), an embeddable exchange widget and a three-tier referral program. Referrers earn a revenue share on completed swaps 11.

Questions about Swapzone

Does Swapzone charge a fee?
Not separately. Partner fees are built into each quote, and Swapzone earns from its partners rather than from users 411.
Do I need to verify my identity on Swapzone?
Not with Swapzone itself. The partner exchange you choose may ask for KYC under its own policy 5.
Who do I contact if my swap is stuck?
Start with the partner exchange that handles the order, using your order ID. Swapzone's support can help route the request, but refunds are the partner's decision 45.
Can I use Swapzone in the United States?
The US is not on Swapzone's prohibited list. Each partner exchange applies its own country rules, so check the provider's terms 6.
Is Swapzone available in Russia?
No. Russia is on the Terms of Use list of prohibited jurisdictions 6.
