What it is. A non-custodial, no-account, no-KYC swap service spanning 200+ assets across 45+ networks — direct-to-wallet conversions with no funds custodied.

What it bridges. BTC, Lightning BTC, L-BTC, and USDT-Liquid plus a broad multi-chain set — useful for an agent converting BTC↔stablecoin without an account.

Agent access. REST API + embeddable widgets, explicitly built for developers/product teams integrating swaps without custodying funds. Variable or fixed-rate swaps.

How an agent uses it. Request a swap quote via API, send the input asset to the quoted address from its own wallet, receive the output to a self-custody address. No onboarding, no identity.

Dependencies. A self-custody wallet holding the input asset and the REST API or embeddable widget; no account, no KYC. No fiat — you send one crypto asset and receive another to your own address, across 200+ assets and 45+ networks.

Gotchas. Not as clean as a pure atomic swap (Boltz/SideSwap): an automated risk-screening layer can flag a transaction and hold funds (reported multi-day) and may request KYC / source-of-funds to release them — so “no-KYC” holds by default, not under duress. No fiat. Offshore — no consumer protection or recourse; the stablecoin output remains issuer-freezable. Rate/settlement risk on variable-rate swaps.
