## What it is
OrangeFren compares live rates across instant swap services that operate without mandatory identity checks. Its tables separate small and large swaps and show, for each exchange, the coins supported, fees, whether the service is marked as never requesting KYC and whether it is covered by the site's own guarantee. The site redirects users to the chosen exchange rather than handling funds. It publishes notes when it removes services; research notes record five exchanges delisted for alleged scamming. Registered users can post moderated reviews. The site also lists prepaid cards and publishes an onion mirror.
