Why users look for a FixedFloat alternative
FixedFloat earned its reputation by being one of the few no-KYC services that genuinely walked the talk: no email, no account, no identity, both float and fixed, Tor-accessible, clean frontend. The product is excellent. Users searching for an alternative typically have one of three reasons: (a) they want a curated asset list with less long-tail noise but explicit per-pair research content, (b) they need higher per-order limits than FixedFloat\'s first-order caps allow, or (c) they were caught in FixedFloat\'s AML-hold flow on a flagged order and want a service whose written policy is refund-first rather than recovery-with-additional-information.
Is FixedFloat safe?
Yes, architecturally. FixedFloat is non-custodial — funds transit, they never rest on the platform. Their security track record is strong on the custody side. The widely-discussed concern is the AML hold mechanism on flagged orders: FixedFloat has, historically, held flagged deposits and required additional information for recovery. That is not custody risk in the classical sense, but it is an identity-leak risk to be aware of.
Where FixedFloat wins
- Brand equity in the privacy community. Years of recommendations on r/Monero, Bitcointalk and Privacy Guides forums.
- Asset curation. Tight, hand-picked list — no shitcoin noise.
- Minimalism. One-page widget with no marketing scaffolding. If you want pure swap, this is the purest expression of it.
- Lightning Network maturity. Strong native LN support on both legs.
Where SwapNoKYC wins
- Refund-first written policy. Our flagged-order policy is enumerated in writing: refund or accept market rate at confirmation. No identity demand, ever. FixedFloat\'s historical practice has been an AML hold flow with information-disclosure to recover funds.
- Asset breadth. 1,000+ assets across 20+ networks via the upstream router, against FixedFloat\'s ~80-asset curated list.
- Per-pair research content. Every pair we publish has a dedicated long-form page with live rate, how-to, FAQ, and comparison-to-alternatives table. FixedFloat is widget-only.
- Coin pages. Dedicated /coins/{slug}/ landing pages with privacy notes per asset.
- Native multilingual content. 10 fully-translated languages with hreflang, JSON-LD per locale, and BCP-47 alternates. FixedFloat\'s UI strings are localised; the surrounding content is not.
- Speakable + AI-citation surface. Llms.txt, speakable schema, FAQPage schema, ExchangeRateSpecification — designed to be cited by AI search engines as well as ranked by Google.
Which to pick
If you are a Bitcoin-and-Monero purist who values minimalism above all and your order sizes fit FixedFloat\'s caps, FixedFloat is excellent. If you want the same no-KYC posture but with a written refund-first policy, broader asset coverage, no first-order caps, and editorial content per pair and per coin, SwapNoKYC.
Switching from FixedFloat to SwapNoKYC
Nothing to migrate — no account, no history, no saved wallets. Open the widget, paste your receive address, send. The mental model is identical.
