What InstaSwap is
InstaSwap is a cross-chain swap aggregator covering 67 chains, including BTC, ETH, XMR and SOL in native form. It routes orders through THORChain, Chainflip and other venues, and also offers split payouts, payments, spot and perpetual trading. The operator, INS CORE LABS INC., is a Panama corporation; it says it never takes custody. Its terms do describe walletless swaps sent to a deposit address, multi-leg routes held in escrow addresses, and privacy routes where one leg runs through "an additional liquidity source", with funds earmarked for completion or refund. The privacy policy says it does not collect identity documents, but transactions may be screened against sanctions lists and blockchain risk indicators and then blocked, delayed or returned. The about page says it has run since 2018.
