Is SimpleSwap Legit?
SimpleSwap has operated since 2018, publishes its legal policies openly, and is integrated into 6,000+ partner wallets that each ran their own due diligence before adding it. This page lays out that record, plus the risks and verification steps worth knowing before you use it.
Short answer: the available record supports treating SimpleSwap as a legitimate, long-running service. That is not the same as risk-free. See the evidence and verification guidance below before you decide for yourself.
What the Legitimacy Record Actually Shows
Four verifiable factors, not a marketing claim.
Operating history
SimpleSwap has run continuously since 2018, across multiple market cycles, rather than appearing only recently.
Public legal documentation
Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Affiliate Terms and an Anti-Financial Crime and KYC Policy are published on the site, not implied.
Self-custodial structure
SimpleSwap does not hold a long-term balance of user funds. Swaps move directly wallet-to-wallet, which limits platform custody risk by design.
Vetted integrations
The swap engine is built into 6,000+ partner products. Wallets that integrate it, including a NYSE-listed company, generally run their own vendor due diligence first.
