Introduction

Instaswap is an instant, non-custodial, decentralized crypto exchange offering token swaps with seamless cross-chain trading across multiple blockchains, alongside spot and perpetual futures trading. Access deep liquidity, competitive fees, and secure crypto markets with no accounts, no custody, and no friction.

What is Instaswap?

Instaswap is a multi-blockchain DEX aggregator that enables users to swap native cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains by aggregating liquidity from protocols like THORChain, Chainflip, 1inch, Jupiter, Near-Intents, Hyperliquid and more.

Unlike centralized exchanges, Instaswap never takes custody of your funds. Every trade is executed on-chain through non-custodial, decentralized liquidity routes, giving you full control of your assets at all times.

Core Principles

How Instaswap Works

Supported Blockchains

Instaswap supports native token swaps across 35 blockchains and counting.

Live Networks

Integrated Protocols

Instaswap aggregates liquidity from a wide range of non-custodial, decentralized protocols:

Instant Swaps

Swap native crypto assets like BTC, ETH, XMR, and SOL across blockchains with no wrapping, no intermediaries, no hidden steps.

What Are Native Swaps?

Native swaps mean you trade cryptocurrencies in their original form on their native blockchains. When you swap BTC for ETH, you send real Bitcoin and receive real Ether — not wrapped tokens or synthetic representations.

This is powered by non-custodial, decentralized cross-chain protocols like THORChain, Chainflip and Hyperliquid that enable trustless exchanges between different blockchains without bridges or intermediary tokens.

Popular Pairs

Walletless Swaps

Send crypto to a temporary address, receive your swapped tokens — no wallet connection, no app, no password.

How Walletless Swaps Work

Walletless swaps are Instaswap's simplest trading mode. You don't need to connect a wallet or install any software. Just provide a receiving address, send your crypto to the generated deposit address, and Instaswap handles the rest.

The Process

Spot Trading

Buy and sell crypto at market prices with non-custodial, decentralized spot trading — transparent pricing, full asset control.

Overview

Instaswap's spot trading module allows users to trade crypto assets at current market prices directly on-chain. Unlike centralized exchanges where an order book is maintained by a single entity, Instaswap routes spot trades through non-custodial, decentralized liquidity pools.

• Market Orders: Execute trades at the current best available price across aggregated liquidity sources.
• Transparent Pricing: All pricing is derived from on-chain liquidity; no hidden spreads or market-maker manipulation.

Perpetual Trading

Go long or short with non-custodial, decentralized perpetual contracts. Trade with leverage directly on-chain.

What Are Perpetuals?

Perpetual contracts (perps) are derivative instruments that let you take leveraged long or short positions on crypto assets without an expiry date. Instaswap integrates non-custodial, decentralized perpetual protocols to give users access to leveraged trading without relying on centralized exchanges.

Key Features

Fee Comparison

How Instaswap stacks up against ChangeNow and FixedFloat across fees, custody model, and swap features.

Platform Overview

Fee Structure Deep Dive

Instaswap

Instaswap charges no flat platform fee. Fees are embedded in the swap route and vary between ~0.3% and 1% depending on the liquidity protocol used. Because Instaswap aggregates across protocols, it selects the cheapest available route at the time of the swap. Network gas fees are separate.

ChangeNow

ChangeNow is a centralized swap aggregator with fees typically ranging from 0.5% to 2%. It offers both fixed-rate swaps (rate locked at order time) and float-rate swaps. Fixed rates carry a premium (~0.5% higher). ChangeNow acts as the counterparty, meaning your funds pass through their custody during the swap.

FixedFloat

FixedFloat charges 1% for float-rate swaps and 0.5% for fixed-rate swaps. It supports around 100 coins across major chains. Like ChangeNow, it is custodial during the transaction. FixedFloat is known for fast execution on common pairs like BTC ↔ ETH.

API Integration

Add cross-chain trading to your app with Instaswap's REST API. Support native assets across 35 blockchains.
