Hello! No, not at all. Moreover, we are proud to name Changelly our dear partners.
As far as I can see, Changelly was the first in the field, and later an array of various exchange services came up. They may have similar functionality or not that original idea, but the thing is people prefer good rates, low fees and privacy options to outstanding names and a pioneer status. And it is the point where other exchange services sometimes beat even Changelly despite all their first explorer advantages.
If you want to put it that way, correct – we aggregate the exchange services that have popped up since Changelly had started. Then we push them in a fair fight: we show all the rates and let you choose between them. Our customers get the opportunity to choose the exchangers they haven’t even heard about if their rates are really better.
Let me illustrate it. Let’s get a closer look at our rates. I’ve just picked random coins:
1 BTC ––> TUSD
––> 10251.24507174 Fixed rate by SimpleSwap rate on
https://swapspace.co/. (best rate)
––> 10150.50569292 Fixed rate on
https://simpleswap.io––> 10005.25345902 Changelly fixed rate on
https://swapspace.co/––> 1012.44289237 Float rate on Changelly website
––> 994.11457624 Fixed rate on Changelly
1 BTC ––> BNB
––> 412.97835103 Fixed rate by Godex on
https://swapspace.co/ (best rate)
––> 412.97835103 Fixed rate on
https://godex.io/ (best rate indeed!)
––>367.48846725 Float rate by Changelly on
https://swapspace.co/ (unfortunately, there are limits on fixed-rate exchange of Binance Coin on Changelly)
––>333.20312895 Fixed rate on Changelly
1 BTC ––> OKCash
––> 340231.58089139 Float rate by SimpleSwap on
https://swapspace.co/––> ~ 336849.44988565 Float rate on SimpleSwap.io
––> 337138.91241729 Float rate by StealthEX on
https://swapspace.co/––> ~337186.29933554 Float rate on StealthEX
––> And what about Changelly? Wait a sec, Changelly doesn’t provide the exchange opportunity for OKCash. Changelly grants us a chance to swap 150+ coins, while we have 300+. We do not copy Changelly – we cooperate with them and work hard to add the options they don’t have.
But what about fees? Well, you’ve got me there. Changelly charges the lowest fee on the market, though they cannot always provide the best rates for all the coins – no one can.
Unfortunately, we haven’t negotiated the shared fee model yet. However, we are trying hard, and we have set the exchange volume threshold. I cannot disclose sensitive information, but after a certain number, we will work on general grounds. But I assure you that all the other rates are the same or even better. Feel free to check anytime.
I wish to emphasize our love and respect for the Changelly project. They were the pioneers, all they do is just great, and in fact, there is nothing bad that they can’t monopolize the cryptocurrency exchange servicing niche. We just want to allow people to choose.
