How these pages are made and checked
AltoSwap deals with people's money, so the standard for what we publish is simple: every number has a source, every claim states its limits, and errors get fixed in public.
Last reviewed
Who writes and reviews the content
Pages are written and reviewed by the AltoSwap team. Guides and policy pages are checked by a person before publication and again whenever the product changes. The review date is printed on each page. We do not publish anonymous guest posts, paid articles or sponsored rankings.
Where the numbers come from
| Data | Source | Refreshed |
|---|---|---|
| Rates in the swap form | Live quotes from 20+ exchange providers | Every 30 seconds, and on every change you make |
| Indicative rate and conversion table on pair pages | The best current no-KYC quote for a sample amount | About every 30 minutes; the time is printed next to the rate |
| Minimum and maximum amounts | The provider network's published limits | Several times a day |
| KYC ratings (A to D) | Assigned by the aggregation network from each exchange's policy | When a provider's policy changes |
| Coin facts and confirmation times | Each project's own documentation; times are typical values, not guarantees | At each content review |
An indicative rate is a snapshot. The amount you actually receive is the one quoted in the swap form at the moment you create the swap, and on a floating rate it is settled when your deposit confirms.
How pair and coin pages are built
Pages such as BTC to XMR are generated from one template and filled with data that is specific to that pair: its live rate, limits, networks, address formats, memo requirements and confirmation times. We publish a pair page only when the pair can actually be swapped, and we open new groups of pages to search engines in stages so that each one is checked before it is promoted.
How we earn money, and what that does not affect
AltoSwap earns a commission on completed swaps, paid through its aggregation partner and already included in the quoted rate. Offers are ranked by one thing only: how much you receive. No exchange can pay to be listed higher, and the KYC filter is applied before ranking.
The words we use
- No KYC means AltoSwap asks for no identity documents and, by default, routes only through exchanges rated A, which do not run identity checks.
- Anonymous means nobody asks who you are. It does not mean a transaction is invisible: most blockchains are public.
- Non-custodial means AltoSwap never holds your funds. The exchange you select handles them for the minutes the swap takes.
We do not describe swaps as untraceable, guaranteed or risk-free, and we do not publish price predictions.
Corrections
If you find something wrong or out of date, write to [email protected] with the page address. We correct confirmed errors promptly and update the review date on the page.
Risk disclosure
- Volatility. Crypto prices can move sharply within minutes. On a floating rate, the amount you receive is fixed only when your deposit confirms.
- Irreversibility. A blockchain transaction sent to a wrong address or on a wrong network usually cannot be recovered.
- Third-party execution. Swaps are carried out by independent exchanges. They can delay, refund or, depending on their policy, review a transaction. Their KYC rating describes that policy; it is not a guarantee.
- Regulation. Rules for crypto differ by country and change. You are responsible for complying with the law where you live, including tax.
- No advice. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax or legal advice.
