cryptocurrency exchanges in the recent past. Other than being similar in terms of functionality, both platforms allow instant swaps between currencies, going the extra mile beyond usual buying and selling.<\/p>\n<p>In this post about Changelly vs. ShapeShift, we will compare these two exchanges in several ways including exploring the supported countries, payment methods, fees, security, ease of use, and more.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, you will be able to make an informed decision regarding the exchange that suits you best.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supported_Countries_and_Currencies\"><\/span>Supported Countries and Currencies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changelly\"><\/span>Changelly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Changelly supports users from any country worldwide. In addition, the platform also accepts any fiat money from around the world but converts it to USD or Euro.<\/p>\n<p>However, the following are the cryptocurrencies supported by the platform:<\/p>\n<p>AdEx, AdToken, \u00a0Aragon, Ardor, Augur, Bancor, <a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/how-to-earn-bitcoins-fast\/\">Bitcoin<\/a>, Bitcoin Cash, <a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/bitcoin-gold-exchange\/\">Bitcoin Gold<\/a>, Byteball, Bytecoin, Chronobank TIME, Civic, Cofound.it, Darcrus, Dash, Dashcoin, Decent, Decred, DigiByte, DigitalNote, DIGIX, District0x, Dogecoin, Edgeless, EOS Token, Ethereum Classic, Ethereum, Expanse, Factom, Fantomcoin, FirstBlood, FunFair, GameCredits, Gnosis, Golem, Golos, Gulden, Guppy, Humaniq, LBRY Credits, Lisk, Litecoin , Lunar, MaidSafeCoin , Melon, Metal, Monaco, <a href=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/monero-hardware-wallet\/\">Monero<\/a>, Mysterium, NAV Coin, NEM Neo, Next, NuBits, Numeraire, OmiseGo, Patiently, PotCoin, Power Ledger, Qtum, QuazarCoin, Radium, Ripio Credit Network, Ripple, Salt, SNGLS, Status Network Token, Steem, Stellar, Storj, Stratis, Swarm City, Synereo, Syscoin, TenXPay Token, Tether USD, TokenCard, Trustco, Verge, Waves, Wings, Xaurum, and Zcash.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ShapeShift\"><\/span>ShapeShift<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Just like Changelly, this platform accepts users from all countries around the world. ShapeShift is a crypto-to-crypto exchange only, meaning no fiat currencies can be used on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>The crypto-to-crypto platform trades dozens of coins including:<\/p>\n<p>BTC, BCH, BTG, ETH, ETC, FUN, 1ST, ANT, BAT, BNT, BLK, CVC, CLAM, DASH, DCR, DGB, DNT, DOGE, EDG, EOS, FCT, GAME &amp; 25+ more<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Payment_Methods\"><\/span>Payment Methods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changelly-2\"><\/span>Changelly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Changelly has various methods of making payments on its the platform used for deposits and withdrawal by members. However, users can only use the payment methods for crypto-to-crypto transactions.<\/p>\n<p>In additional, fiat currencies cannot be used to pay for cryptos. The good thing about the available payment methods on this platform is that users can use credit or debit cards to make payments on the platform; however, the money will ultimately be converted to either USD or Euro.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ShapeShift-2\"><\/span>ShapeShift<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, this is a crypto-to-crypto only exchange and, therefore, all payments can only be made using cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>If you needed to purchase an asset from the exchange, you\u2019d need to first acquire a crypto from an exchange that accepts fiat before you can head over to ShapeShift to make your purchase. The same applies to the withdrawal of your assets from the exchange; you\u2019ll need to send the coins to an exchange that accepts cryptocurrencies in exchange for fiat money.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transaction_Fees\"><\/span>Transaction Fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changelly-3\"><\/span>Changelly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Transaction fees are a key determinant of a good exchange; Changelly applies a fee of 0.5% on all user transactions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ShapeShift-3\"><\/span>ShapeShift<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ShapeShift, on the other hand, evaluates its transactions charges based on a fixed fee. The fee charged will depend on the cryptocurrency being transacted. At the moment, Bitcoin transactions attract a fee of 0.0015 BTC.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the different application of transacting fees, each of these platforms may be cheap under certain scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>For, instance, ShapeShift\u2019s rate (flat rate) may be cheaper when the transaction at hand is large; however, if the amount being transacted is smaller, then one may opt for the Changelly rate as it provides a better fee evaluation method for smaller transactions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security\"><\/span>Security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Both of these platforms have formidable security controls \u2013 since both Changelly and ShapeShift do not store user funds on their platforms, it is close to impossible to lose any assets to hackers.<\/p>\n<p>Both platforms advocate for cold storage of user funds using offline wallets such as Trezor, Ledger Nano S, and more. This has made the platforms less attractive to crypto burglars and related criminals.<\/p>\n<p>However, in 2016, ShapeShift had a security issue when 400 Bitcoins, 5800 Ethereum, and 1900 Litecoins disappeared from their hot wallet, leading to a temporary closure of their services. But despite the setback, they bounced back much stronger to become one of the safest platforms to trade in.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trust_Level\"><\/span>Trust Level<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Changelly<\/strong> is relatively blameless without no reported cases of past security breach system failure. For now, we can only hope things remain that way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ShapeShift <\/strong>is one of the most trusted trading platforms globally as the crypto community seems to have regained confidence in the platform after the 2016 hacking. From user reviews, I want to believe all is well with the platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ease_of_Use\"><\/span>Ease of Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Both Changelly and ShapeShift are fairly simple to use; both platforms allow instant swaps, making it easy and quick to exchange cryptocurrencies. Let\u2019s look at the process of getting set up on each of the platforms to enable you to have a better idea of how each works.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Started_on_Changelly\"><\/span>Getting Started on Changelly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To get started on Changelly, you\u2019ll need to create an account from their website. Once that\u2019s done, you\u2019ll be able to access your account, and you can go ahead and set up your input and output currency.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_825\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-825\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-825 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/join-for-free-1.jpg\" alt=\"join for free\" width=\"624\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/join-for-free-1.jpg 624w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/join-for-free-1-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/join-for-free-1-124x60.jpg 124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-825\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source of image: <a href=\"https:\/\/changelly.com\/\">https:\/\/changelly.com\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After setting up your respective currencies, select <strong>Exchange. <\/strong>Proceed by clicking <strong>Next<\/strong> to confirm the transaction; then you\u2019ll be taken to a deposit address area.

Both platforms allow instant swaps, which simplifies the trading process significantly. However, even now, the sign-up process is still pretty easy as seen below:<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_826\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-826\" style=\"width: 601px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-826\" src=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sign-up.jpg\" alt=\"sign-up\" width=\"601\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sign-up.jpg 601w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sign-up-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/sign-up-64x60.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-826\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source of image: <a href=\"https:\/\/shapeshift.io\">https:\/\/shapeshift.io<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve signed up, you can enter the addresses of the respective currencies.

Both platforms allow instant swaps, so the progress bar will immediately update, and you should receive your output currency in no time.<\/p>\n<p>And that is how to transact on ShapeShift!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most Changelly vs. ShapeShift reviews still leave several questions unanswered, and for this reason, we aim to answer the most important of them below.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Should_I_Store_My_Coins_From_Changelly_And_ShapeShift\"><\/span>Where Should I Store My Coins From Changelly And ShapeShift?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The safest place to store your coins in on an offline wallet. In the recent past, there have been many cases of hacking of wallets, especially web-based ones.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned before, consider going for an offline wallet that offers a cold storage for your coins to avoid being hacked.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that both Changelly and ShapeShift are independent platforms. Once you take it upon yourself to transfer your coins to your preferred wallet address, you\u2019re responsible for their safety.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_the_Changelly_and_ShapeShift_Fees_Competitive\"><\/span>Are the Changelly and ShapeShift Fees Competitive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">There is no straightforward answer to this question. As mentioned before, whether fees are cheap or expensive depends on the transaction size.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, large transactions are cheaper on ShapeShift because it charges a fixed fee. Smaller transactions tend to cost less on Changelly, which charges 0.5% of the amount.<\/p>\n<p>However, the most important thing to note is that compared with the market rate, these platforms offer quite competitive fees.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ShapeShift_vs_Changelly_Whats_the_Verdict\"><\/span>ShapeShift vs. Changelly: What\u2019s the Verdict?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changelly and ShapeShift are both great platforms and offer unique solutions to their users. Unfortunately, we can\u2019t determine for certain which one of the two is better.<\/p>\n<p>ShapeShift offers a more user-friendly interface, while the Changelly fee is slightly affordable.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to security, they are both well-secured with password controls, two-factor authentication, and data privacy and encryption. And despite the hacking that took place on ShapeShift\u2019s platform in 2016, the only funds that were lost belonged to the company.<\/p>\n<p>So, in my humble opinion, both of these platforms can be used interchangeably to enable you to enjoy everything they offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These two platforms are perhaps the most compared cryptocurrency exchanges in the recent past.
