Swaps is now agentic-first

For the last three months, Swaps has been tested in public.

People used the product, broke flows, challenged copy, checked wallet addresses, asked why a route was or was not available, and gave us the kind of feedback that only shows up when a real product is exposed to real money decisions.

Thank you to everyone who tried it, reported issues, asked questions, and stayed close while the product was changing under the surface.

Today we are making that change official.

Swaps is still a service for people.

You can buy crypto. You can sell crypto. You can compare provider routes in your region. You can check a wallet address before you send. You can see what is available, what is risky, and what happens next.

What changed is the operating model behind that experience.

Swaps is now agentic-first.

What changed for you

This is not only a logo change. For the last three months, Swaps has already been running on the new model.

Swaps is no longer the checkout. Regulated partners handle ID checks, custody, and settlement where those apply. Swaps owns the part before the handoff: compare the provider routes that can actually work for your country, asset, amount, and payment method — then show the fees, the risk, and who takes over when you continue.

Two things make that more useful today:

Addresses lets you screen a wallet address before you send crypto to it, so a decision about real money is not based on a pasted string you cannot read.
The MCP server lets builders connect those same checks to their own apps, and lets AI agents use them directly — so software acts on current Swaps route and risk context instead of guessing from generic crypto content.

What agentic-first actually means

It does not mean Swaps stopped being for people. It means people and software now use the same checks.

Public testing made one thing clear: access alone is not enough. Before money moves, you need answers you can trust:

Can I buy or sell this asset in my country?
Which provider route is actually available right now?
What will I receive after real costs?
Who owns the checkout once Swaps hands me off?
Is this wallet address safe enough to send to?
What risk should I understand before I continue?

For a person, those answers should read in plain language on the screen. For an agent, they should be structured enough to call without guessing. Same checks, two audiences.

We will keep adding provider routes where they are real and useful, and keep improving buy and sell coverage region by region.

Best route. Clear risk. Fair settlement.

What the new mark means

The new mark is not cosmetic. It stands for how the product works:

movement without hiding the route;
comparison without hidden markup;
risk surfaced before you act;
provider handoff made explicit;
wallet-address screening before you send.

The brand is calmer because money decisions should lower stress, not add to it. It is more precise because simple screens only hold up when what is underneath them is solid. The mark behaves the way the product should: it shows the route and the risk instead of covering them.

The rules we are keeping strict

The pivot changes how Swaps works under the hood. It does not weaken the money rules.

Swaps will continue to treat the server as the source of truth for money and redirect flows.

Swaps will not silently worsen a public quote for hidden revenue.

Swaps will not show fake availability to make the product look broader than it is.

Swaps will not claim a transaction is complete because the UI wants a clean ending.

Swaps will not custody user funds or pretend to be the checkout when a regulated partner owns it.

If a route is riskier, the risk has to be visible. If a provider cannot serve a route, the product has to say that. If an address looks unsafe, the user should see why. If an agent asks for an answer, the answer has to be grounded in current product truth, not generic crypto advice.

What is public now

The public product surface remains Swaps at [swaps.app](/).

People can still use Swaps to buy and sell crypto through eligible provider routes. We are continuing to add and improve coverage where the routes are real and useful.

Addresses is now part of the public product. It lets people screen wallet addresses before they send crypto, so a transaction decision is not based only on a pasted string.

The MCP server is available for builders and agents. It lets developers connect Swaps context to their own applications, and lets AI agents use wallet screening, route context, and platform functionality from the same truth layer.

The brand system and downloadable assets live at [swaps.app/brand](/brand).

This is not a finished destination. It is the new public baseline.

What happens next

We are going to keep working in public.

That means more visible product notes, clearer buy and sell coverage, better wallet-address screening, more direct release communication, and better surfaces for both humans and agents.

It also means being careful with claims. If a route is not verified, we will not market it as live. If a number is not backed by current product or provider truth, we will not use it as proof.

The logo changed because the operating model changed.

Swaps is now built for a world where people and AI agents both need the same thing before money moves: truth.

If you have been part of the public testing period, thank you. If you are seeing Swaps now for the first time, start with the product, then read the brand rules, then tell us what still feels unclear.
