Your September 2026 Recap: Address Check, AI Routes, and a Series That Ends
Updated: Oct 6, 2026
September landed on the two questions that sit on either side of a swap. Who is on the other end, and which route does the value take to get there? Address Check, a new tool in your Customer Account, answers the first one before you send. An AI integration and a five-year anniversary piece take on the second.

Address Check: see what an address is connected to before you send
Most advice about addresses answers one question. Is this the address I meant to paste? Address Check answers a different one. What is this address associated with?
It lives in your Customer Account. Paste an address, select its network, press Check, and the tool screens it through third-party services and returns a risk level along with the connections behind it. Every check is saved to a history tab you can search by address and filter by date or risk score, which helps if the same counterparty comes back, or if you want to run the same address again a month later.
The allowance renews monthly and follows your Loyalty level. Bronze gets 5 checks, Silver 10, Gold 15, Platinum 25. Every registered user starts at Bronze.
The result is worth reading precisely. A low risk level means the screening found no association with the categories it covers, which is a narrower statement than a verdict on the person behind the address. A high one means the screening found something worth your attention, but it doesn’t prove the counterparty did anything wrong, since an address can be affected by transactions several hops away. The screening may not identify every issue, and the decision to proceed stays with you.

Allswaps: the agent reads the market, you keep the keys
Allswaps runs an AI agent that monitors the market and proposes swap routes. Until now, acting on one of those suggestions meant leaving the conversation and rebuilding the order by hand somewhere else. Pair, amount, network, address — every field is another chance to paste something wrong or land on a clone site.
Since 20 September, the agent can prepare the order on SimpleSwap through Allswaps’ MCP layer. You review the quote, confirm the receiving address and the network, then send the deposit from your own wallet. The converted asset arrives in the wallet you specified, without requiring you to maintain a balance on either platform.
Two things stay where they were. An agent-proposed route is information, not financial advice, and you still confirm the address and network before anything leaves.
Five years with SecureShift, and six observations about privacy
SimpleSwap and SecureShift have been routing swaps for each other for five years. For the anniversary, we skipped the press release, and each team wrote down what it believes will shape privacy’s next chapter. Six observations in total, three from each side, none of them about price.
The argument running underneath: privacy used to be a property of the asset you held, and in 2026 it is closer to a property of the route. Our H1 data sits under that claim. 91.8% of swaps moved value between two networks, and seven in ten had a leg outside the four largest chains. A shielded asset’s guarantees end when it becomes a different asset elsewhere.
Read them, disagree with them, and tell us where you see it differently.

Your swap is under review: the guide, written with AMLBot
SimpleSwap and AMLBot have worked together for a year. Instead of announcing that, we wrote what a user actually needs right now: a guide to what an “under review” status means and what to do next.
It covers which documents are typically requested and where to send them, why a single ticket moves faster than three, and why a review attaches to the history the funds carry rather than to an accusation about the sender. Crypto can pass through earlier wallets and counterparties the current sender knows nothing about, and that history travels with it.
The guide also explains how to check an address or transaction hash before you accept funds, which helps prevent the problem rather than resolve it.

Know the Scam closes its first quarter with eight questions
A quarter of scam breakdowns, condensed into eight questions to ask before a transfer. None of them need technical knowledge.
They run in the order they tend to matter. Did they contact me first, which filters an enormous share of everything else. Can I get out, which is the question that separates a token you own from a chart you are looking at. The rest sit between those two.
Our own side of it is in there as well. We do not message first, and nobody at SimpleSwap will ever ask for a recovery phrase, so any message claiming otherwise can be tested against that rather than against our word.
