What CypherGoat is
CypherGoat is a swap aggregator that compares rates across partner exchanges and selects the best route automatically. The site states that it needs no account, supports Tor, never has access to user funds and that its web interface is open source. It says swap fees typically fall between 0.4% and 0.6% and that partners are reviewed on an ongoing basis under a published compliance and AML policy that sets out what gets a partner removed. As with other aggregators, the swap is handled by the exchange selected, and that exchange's rules decide whether a transaction is held or questioned.
