Category: fiat-crypto on/off-ramp infrastructure / embedded checkout and deposit widgets / payments control plane
Summary: Swapped.com is a crypto-fiat access infrastructure vendor whose current public materials span embeddable buy/sell widgets, a deposit and top-up product for exchange and wallet transfers, signed iframe integrations, webhook callbacks, sandbox testing, and a merchant dashboard. The current source set also shows a meaningful brand transition: kado.money now redirects to swapped.com, while the live developer docs are at docs.swapped.com and the older docs.kado.money host returns TLS errors. Taken together, the official materials make Swapped better categorized as embedded payments and money-movement infrastructure than as only a consumer on-ramp website.
What it does:
Lets partners embed a hosted on-ramp and off-ramp widget so users can buy or sell supported crypto directly inside another app or website
Offers Swapped Connect, a deposit/top-up flow that pre-fills transfer details and supports wallet or exchange connections via direct connection, API-key connection, or proxy connection
Documents signed iframe integrations with HMAC-SHA256 URL signing, merchant-configured callbacks, order-status notifications, and sandbox testing for partners
Provides backend-oriented operational surfaces including pricing, payment-method, payout-method, supported-asset, payment-status, and transaction endpoints in the public docs sitemap
Emphasizes a non-custodial operating model, global payment-method coverage, and regulated operations across multiple jurisdictions
Key claims:
The homepage says Swapped lets users buy or sell 30+ cryptocurrencies using 40+ local payment methods in 150+ countries and presents the company as a regulated platform
The business and product pages show Swapped is not only a consumer buy/sell frontend; it also offers partner-facing Ramp and Connect products for embedded integrations
The ramp docs describe an embeddable on-ramp widget, merchant dashboard, signed URL scheme, webhook callbacks, and sandbox environment, which is a strong signal that Swapped operates real integration infrastructure rather than only a simple referral widget
The connect docs describe a deposit experience that removes the need for users to manually copy wallet addresses and networks, with multiple connection models for wallets and exchanges
The legal “How we handle your funds” page repeatedly stresses segregated client funds for bank-transfer flows, a non-custodial model, and operational review / refund processes, which helps clarify trust and funds-flow assumptions
The legacy-domain behavior matters: kado.money now redirects to swapped.com, while docs.kado.money fails TLS handshakes; the live first-party docs now reside at docs.swapped.com
Whitepaper: No canonical Swapped.com or Kado whitepaper/litepaper surfaced in this pass. The clearest current source of truth is the official site, the Swapped docs sitemap and integration pages, llms.txt, and the legal/funds-handling page collected in ../whitepapers/swapped-com-primary-sources-2026-04-27.md.
