Spot a Fake SimpleSwap in 10 Seconds

A fake site can copy our logo, colors and exchange form. The domain is what identifies the real SimpleSwap.

The only official SimpleSwap website is simpleswap.io.

The 10-second check

1
Look at the address bar
Do not use the page design as proof that a website is real.
2
Check the name
It should read exactly simpleswap – one word, correctly spelled.
3
Check the ending
The official domain ends in .io.
4
Check the whole domain
Extra words, letters, hyphens or a different ending mean you are not on simpleswap.io.

If the domain is not exactly simpleswap.io, stop before you send anything.

A familiar page is not proof

Logo & design

Clone sites can reproduce the visual interface of a legitimate service.

HTTPS

Encrypts your connection to a site. It does not prove that the site belongs to SimpleSwap.

Search position

Fake or lookalike pages can appear in ads and search results. Check the domain before interacting.

Make the safe route the easy one

Bookmark simpleswap.io after typing it directly into your browser.
Open SimpleSwap apps only through links published on the official website.
Start support conversations through channels listed on simpleswap.io.
Never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone claiming to be SimpleSwap support.

Found a fake SimpleSwap?

Do not send funds or enter wallet credentials. If you signed an approval, review and revoke it. If you exposed a seed phrase or private key, move remaining assets to a fresh wallet.

Key takeaways

Only simpleswap.io is the real domain – no other spelling, subdomain, or extension is us.
A convincing logo, design, or HTTPS padlock is not proof of ownership.
Bookmark simpleswap.io once, and use the bookmark every time – never a search result or link.
If a page asks for your seed phrase, that request alone means it isn't SimpleSwap.

Verify SimpleSwap FAQ

The only official SimpleSwap website is simpleswap.io. A different spelling, added word, hyphen or domain ending is not the official site.

Check the full domain in the address bar. Do not rely on the logo, page design or HTTPS padlock, because fake sites can reproduce all three.

No standard SimpleSwap exchange requires your seed phrase or private keys. Do not share them with anyone claiming to represent SimpleSwap.

Yes. SimpleSwap has operated since 2018 and processed more than 20M swaps for 10M+ users. Most doubts about its legitimacy trace back to a clone site or fake support account using the name, not the real service – which is exactly why the domain check above matters more than the logo or page design.
