SideShift

SideShift is an instant exchange that swaps about 200 coins across dozens of networks, with no account. It is handy for moving between chains like Bitcoin, XRP, Cardano or Polkadot and on networks. It does not support Monero, Kaspa or Zcash.

How it works

  1. 1You pick the coin and network to send and to receive, and enter your receiving address.
  2. 2You send coins to the deposit address SideShift shows.
  3. 3SideShift exchanges them and pays out to your address. A fixed rate is locked for 15 minutes; a variable rate follows the market until your deposit arrives.

Trust model

SideShift is custodial during the swap: you trust it to send the payout. There is no that forces delivery.

Strengths

  • Wide choice of networks for stablecoins, so you can pick a cheap one.
  • No sign-up and no wallet connection needed.
  • Fixed-rate quotes make the outcome predictable.

Limitations

  • No Monero, Kaspa or Zcash; for those, ChangeNOW is an option.
  • The rate includes a service margin.
  • If your deposit arrives after a fixed quote expires, the rate can change.
