CambioSideShift is on Cambio's panel, quoted live beside our own price.
SideShift publishes no single commission figure we can quote, so this page prints none under their name. The panel on the swap card asks SideShift for a live price on your corridor and shows it at its true rank — above ours when it delivers more.
We have never recorded a SideShift quote. Cambio’s price probe reads the exchanger directory that carries live rates hourly, and SideShift is not listed there — so unlike SimpleSwap, Alfacash and ChangeHero, there is no observed record to show you and we will not project one. Setting a published commission against ours and calling the result a record would be circular: assume their number, quote ours, announce that we won. What is comparable is the live panel on the swap card, which asks SideShift directly for your amount and shows it at its true rank.

SideShift, on the record
Non-custodial and account-free since 2018, and the only provider here that names the network on both sides of a pair, so there is no ambiguity about which chain you are paid on.
| SideShift | What that means | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating since | 2018 | 8 years, continuously. |
| Identity checks | Possible — their own screening can hold a deposit | No account for ordinary swaps, but their published risk policy freezes a deposit their automated screening flags, pending human review. |
| Where their fee lands | Not published | Not determinable — SideShift publishes no fee field, so the amount shown is what their rate implies rather than a figure confirmed after fees. |
| How Cambio is paid | Set on their side | Markup — Cambio's share is configured on SideShift's side of the quote rather than added by us afterwards. |
Why SideShift is on the panel at all. Multi-year continuous operation, publicly reviewable, and no unresolved pattern of withheld payouts. Operating since 2018; listed as a Swapzone partner. Fee basis unverifiable — they publish no fee field.
The cost of actually sending your coins. Every swap has one, it does not shrink with the size of your order, and it is where a cheap-looking headline rate goes. SideShift publishes no such figure we can read, so its quoted amount is what its rate implies rather than a number confirmed after fees — the panel says so on its row. Cambio publishes its own, in full, for every chain it pays out on: what Cambio charges to send a payout →
SideShift on the panel, and what happens when you pick it
Type a swap and SideShift is asked for a live price along with every other exchange on the panel, for your exact amount. The panel ranks on what arrives after every fee, so when SideShift delivers more it is on top — and picking it runs the order at SideShift’s own price. SideShift pays Cambio out of that price, a share of its own fee or a small partner fee already inside it, and nothing is added after the quote.
We have never observed a SideShift quote, so this page makes no claim about who delivers more. The panel on the swap card asks SideShift for your amount and shows the answer at its true rank. When your corridor is one the panel cannot quote, go to SideShift directly — we refuse what we cannot serve rather than guessing.
Frequently asked
Is Cambio cheaper than SideShift?
We cannot tell you from observation, and we will not pretend otherwise: SideShift is not carried by the exchanger directory our price probe reads, so we have never recorded one of their quotes. What we can say is that the panel on the swap card asks SideShift for a live price on your corridor and shows it beside ours — whichever is better is the one you see on top.
Does Cambio mark up SideShift's price?
SideShift's quote on the panel is the price your order runs at if you pick it. SideShift pays Cambio out of that price — a share of its own fee, or a small partner fee it includes in the rate it quotes — and nothing is added after the quote.
What does Cambio charge?
0.38% on the swaps Cambio fills itself, inside the quoted rate, plus the network fee shown on the quote before you commit. The panel does not rank on commission, though — it ranks on the amount that arrives after every fee.
When should I use SideShift through Cambio, and when directly?
Through Cambio when you want SideShift priced against the rest of the panel for your exact amount — you see the number, you pick it, the order runs at SideShift's own price. Directly when your corridor is one the panel cannot quote; we refuse what we cannot serve rather than guessing.
