• Select a verified exchange from the list above.
• Create and verify your account. KYC requirements vary by platform and country.

Liquidity data is available for most verified routes. This means there is generally enough volume to execute trades without extreme price slippage. However, you should always check the current order book for your specific trade size.

Deposit and withdrawal support is not verified for the routes listed in this guide. You must check the exchange deposit page to confirm which networks they support before sending funds.

Avoid using lookalike contract addresses. These are often used in scams to steal funds.
