What Expeer is
Expeer is a crypto-to-crypto swap service listing about 160 assets on 82 networks, including XMR and BTC over Lightning. No account is needed, but every order needs an email address.

Verification may also be asked for at any score. Returns after an AML hold cost up to 5% (capped at USD 100). No operating company or jurisdiction is named. It runs an affiliate programme.
