Back to Media

Summary

A joint interview marking five years of routing between SimpleSwap and SwapSpace, with Stefan Lauer, Head of Infrastructure at SimpleSwap, and Vasily, CBDO at SwapSpace.

The subject is the layer users never see: what happens between tapping Swap and the asset arriving.

“If users notice the partnership, it's infrastructure, not marketing.”

Key Takeaways

  • Five years of routing between SimpleSwap and SwapSpace, told by both infrastructure leads.
  • SimpleSwap aggregates 20+ CEX and DEX sources while appearing as one quote among many on SwapSpace.
  • SwapSpace routes across 45+ providers and 3,300+ cryptocurrencies.
  • A partnership that users notice is marketing; one they rely on unknowingly is infrastructure.
  • Provider outages are treated as normal operating conditions, not exceptions.
  • The best route is the one that completes reliably, not the one quoting the best rate.
