History
Changelly was launched in 2015 by a Czech team as a non-custodial instant cryptocurrency swap service. The platform aggregates liquidity from major exchanges, offering competitive rates without holding user funds.
In 2017 Changelly launched its own API platform for integrating swap functionality into third-party services and wallets. The affiliate program and mobile app arrived in 2019. In 2021 Changelly Pro was launched — a full-fledged trading platform with order books and advanced tools.
In 2022 the service expanded network support and introduced staking. Changelly is popular among users who need quick swaps without registration for small amounts. For larger volumes Changelly Pro offers better rates and conditions.
