KyberSwap review

The published taker fee is 0% and the maker fee is 0%, so the platform's own charge is free. That is well below the site median taker fee of 0.2%. Network and route costs still sit on top of a swap, so the headline fee is not the whole cost of a trade.

The listed range is 5 coins, which puts KyberSwap at rank 157 of 172 brands on the coins axis. The site median for the same axis is 62, so this is a narrow venue by design. Anyone holding a long tail of tokens needs a broader exchange for most pairs.

It is a decentralised exchange, so trades settle on-chain rather than on an internal balance sheet. KyberSwap has been running since 2018, and self-custody is one of its listed features, which keeps control of the assets with the wallet you connect rather than with a platform balance.

Support runs on email and community, which is email and community based. There is no phone line and no live chat in that list, so urgent questions about a stuck swap go to a queue or a forum thread. For a venue that runs on-chain, written answers are the practical option.

bunq's taker fee runs 0.25% to 1.99%, a listed platform charge on a different kind of account. KyberSwap's taker fee is 0% and its maker fee is 0%, so the real difference is self-custody against a platform balance. If you would rather hold funds with a provider, that trade is worth weighing.

Probably not as a starting point. The coin range is 5, against from 650 coins at Bitpanda, so a newcomer hunting for a specific token has fewer options here. The free platform fee only matters once you already hold a wallet and know which pair you want.
