ChangeNOW is an instant exchange service that swaps between more than a thousand coins across many networks, with no account needed. It covers coins that cannot reach, such as Monero, Kaspa and Zcash. While the swap runs, the company holds your coins.

How it works

  1. 1You choose what to send and what to receive, and enter your receiving address.

Trust model

This is a custodial service: during the swap you trust ChangeNOW to send the payout. Its automated risk system can hold a transaction and ask for identity checks (KYC) before releasing funds.

Strengths

  • Reaches chains with no bridges at all, including Monero, Kaspa and Zcash.
  • Very simple: one deposit, one payout, no wallet connection.
  • Fixed-rate option protects you from price moves during the swap.

Limitations

  • Funds can be held for checks if the risk system flags a transfer.
  • The rate includes the service's margin, which can be higher than on-chain bridges for common routes.
  • No guarantees: your protection is the company's reputation.
