Though in November crypto market was creaking under pressure and the depressive mood was overwhelming, Changelly spaceship was firmly keeping its course to the moon. At the beginning of the first winter month, we would love to share our achievements with you, crypto astronauts!
New Website Deployed
We’ve been testing our new Changelly website from the beginning of September. Two month is enough for a baby beta to become a grown-up new version of our website.
We’ve designed it in such a way that even a crypto-beginner can easily do an exchange via our service. It is simple, easy-to-use, intuitive. We also fulfilled Changelly new website with some fresh pages dedicated to our partners, in particular, we made separated pages for each kind of partners’ products whether it’s a wallet, a token or an exchange. Our designers and developers keep on doing their best to make Changelly unique and user-friendly.
That is why you’re always welcome to leave some feedback about the user experience of our service. Feel free to keep in touch with Changelly team via our email, through the social media or just by leaving a comment under this digest.
Mobile App Update
Along with the website, we’ve updated Changelly mobile app. Now with the updated version 1.03, the application became more steady, and all the new assets which appeared on the web in November are now also available in the mobile app. Download it and exchange your crypto on-the-go!)
Fix Rate Introduced
You’ve been waiting for this moment long enough. So your requests have been heard. Starting from this December Changelly is implementing the Fix Rate option. At the moment our Fix Rate is working in two prominent crypto products that are using our API — Exodus and CoinGate. Keep an eye on Changelly blog as we’re about to publish a separate material on the Fix Rate issue.
These partnerships and the implementation of the Fix Rate are more significant than it may seem. Here is what CEO Changelly, Ilya Bere thinks on the Fix Rate implementation:
“It is of first importance for us to unite the best service along with the best users experience. For Changelly the Fix Rate implementation is another prominent milestone on the way to cryptocurrency mass adoption.”
EOS Black Friday
To celebrate Black Friday this year Changelly together with EOS announced a one-week promo when all our users could create EOS accounts free of charge!
BCH Fork and Stablecoins Explained
In our blog, we try not only to inform you about our newest updates and partnerships, but also to cover top-stories and explain some trends. In November the top trending story was about the BCH fork and the emergence of BCH SV and BCH ABC. We took an interview with Roger Ver and Craig S Wright to understand the situation and to give you the opportunity to decide, which side is right.
Another hot topic was a victory march of stablecoins. We prepared a detailed material, explaining why stablecoins became so popular, what are the key technology behind them, and how trustworthy they are. We included interviews with top experts in the field to make the riveting stuff for you.
Guides and Tutorials
At Changelly we are genuinely interested in expanding knowledge of the crypto community. This month we published two clarifying articles: a guide on How to Organize a Token Swap and a long-read on How to Use Changelly’s API. Go check it out!

Also, we have partnered with following wallets: AToken, Fetch and Coffee Wallet.
