Green = we confirmed it. Amber = we couldn't yet. A service marked unverified isn't necessarily bad — it just hasn't passed our checks, and we won't dress that up as a fact. That distinction is the whole point.

What "no-KYC" actually means for an exchange

Almost every swap service says it requires no identity verification. The claim is usually true right up until something flags: an unusual amount, coins with a history the service dislikes, or an automated risk score you never see. At that point a service that "never asks for KYC" asks for KYC — and your funds are already sitting on its address.

That gap between the marketing claim and the escalation path is the single most important thing to understand here. A useful distinction is between services that guarantee no KYC in their terms, those that simply never mention it, and those that reserve the right to ask. The third group is where most unpleasant surprises come from, and it is far larger than the front pages suggest.

Custody decides how bad a bad day gets

An atomic swap or an order-book DEX never takes control of your coins: the trade either completes or it does not, and nobody can freeze anything in between. An instant swap that gives you a deposit address does take control, for a few minutes or a few days. Both can be legitimate; only one can strand your money.

This is why custody weighs more heavily than fees or speed in how we grade. A custodial swap with excellent rates and a clean record still carries a risk that a non-custodial one structurally cannot. If you are moving an amount you would be upset to lose, the mechanism matters more than saving half a percent.

The questions worth asking before you send

What happens to funds the service flags — refunded without conditions, refunded only after identity checks, or held indefinitely? Is there a published policy, or only support replies from strangers on a forum? Does the quoted rate hold, or does the amount that arrives quietly differ from the amount you were shown?

That last one is more common than outright theft and much harder to notice. Several services in this directory quote a low floating fee and settle several percent worse, which is why a rate discrepancy reported by a tester counts as an incident here rather than a rounding error.

How age and evidence factor in

A service launched three weeks ago with a polished site and no history is not comparable to one that has processed swaps for seven years, even if both currently behave identically. New services are not disqualified, but nothing has been tested yet: not the withdrawal path under load, not the response to a dispute, not whether the operator is still around next quarter.

Where a service has no independent coverage at all — no third-party review, no documented test, only its own claims — we would rather list nothing than publish a grade we cannot defend. Absence of evidence is itself information.
