Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to use Monivo's guides or swap crypto?
No. Every guide is free to read with no sign-up, and Monivo swaps are non-custodial — you enter a destination wallet address and funds move directly from the provider to your wallet. No account, no deposit balance.
Which guide should I read first if I've never swapped crypto?
Start with 'How to swap crypto' for the end-to-end walkthrough, then read 'Instant crypto exchange' to understand fixed vs floating rates. If you plan to pay by card, read the buy-with-credit-card guide for your coin.
Do these guides cover privacy coins like Monero?
Yes. Monivo publishes dedicated Monero coverage including how to buy XMR with no KYC, how to sell Monero privately, the best Monero wallets, and a Monero vs Zcash privacy comparison.
Are crypto swaps taxable?
In most jurisdictions a crypto-to-crypto swap is a disposal and can trigger a capital gains event, even when no fiat is involved. Our crypto swap taxes guide explains how records are usually kept, but it is general information, not tax advice.
How often are Monivo guides updated?
Guides are reviewed whenever fees, supported networks, or provider behaviour change, and are re-dated for 2026. Live rates, limits, and network fees are always shown in the swap widget at quote time.
