SideShift is an instant exchanger that has built its reputation on a no-account, no-KYC experience: you pick a pair, send to a deposit address and receive the swapped coin. It supports a broad set of assets across chains.
It is custodial during the swap — the service holds funds briefly while exchanging — but it does not require identity verification for standard use.

FAQ
Is SideShift safe?
SideShift has operated since 2018 with a no-KYC reputation. It is custodial during the swap (it briefly holds funds), so for fully non-custodial trades BestDEX also shows THORChain/Maya where available.
Does SideShift require KYC?
No identity verification for standard swaps — that is a core part of its product.
How long does a SideShift swap take?
Typically 1–15 minutes depending on the assets and confirmations.
