Swapzone 2026 Benchmark Puts ChangeNOW First With Sub-Minute Non-Custodial Swaps

Infrastructure upgrades are credited with a widening lead that lowers slippage risk.

Overview

  • Swapzone’s 2026 report analyzed roughly 150,000 completed swaps across eight providers to compare execution speeds.
  • ChangeNOW led both fixed-rate and floating-rate categories, demonstrating what the report describes as dual-rate competency.
  • In fixed-rate tests, ChangeNOW completed SOL to USDT in about one minute versus an industry median of roughly 11 minutes.
  • In floating-rate tests, USDT to ETH settled in under 60 seconds on ChangeNOW compared with a market median near 45 minutes.
  • ChangeNOW attributes the gains to streamlined settlement pipelines, faster confirmation layers, and optimized liquidity routing, while one outlet labeled its coverage as a paid post.
