Thank you — and you're right, kudos should go partly to this thread. The consistent asking (and re-asking) about ETH and USDC pushed these to the top of the queue. Solana and BSC are next, exactly as you said. Won't disappear into another "soon™" — this thread has a memory. 🙂

The Chesterton reference is sharp — hiding a leaf in the forest. When 50% of your country uses VPN and only a small fraction uses Tor, blending into the majority is often a stronger privacy move than reaching for the technically strongest tool. Tor traffic is fingerprint-able at the ISP level in a way VPN traffic often isn't, especially with obfuscated protocols. And you're right about VPN-Tor combos — a single dropped connection can undo the whole chain in one moment. Threat modeling is always contextual.
About the affiliate side and Chainalysis-style tracking — this is a fair concern and honestly the toughest part of designing an affiliate system in a privacy-focused service. Chainalysis and similar tools work on the on-chain layer, which no service can hide from — payouts are visible by nature. What we can do:

Give affiliates the option to receive payouts in privacy-friendly assets like XMR
Not require any personal information to open a partner account — just an email and payout address
Not correlate the partner's affiliate activity with any user swap on the platform

The partner is the one taking the exposure by choosing to promote a service publicly. What we can guarantee is that we don't add to their exposure with unnecessary data collection on our end.

That's not right, and thank you for flagging it. Some reviews reappearing and others not is exactly the kind of inconsistency we'd want to sort out with the Monerica team. We'll reach out to them today and ask specifically about your case — whether it's a technical issue on their side (some reviews got cached and others didn't) or something that requires manual re-approval.
We'll update here as soon as we hear back. Sorry for the extra step — you shouldn't have to chase a review you already left.

Great update - you cannot go wrong with adding stablecoins as they are definitely in demand
and an option I will use in the future as will many other people.

Have you made any other updates as promised?

I recently made a swap, but I was not calm to test for new chnages because I believe there isn't any notable changes after my last review. But I have just discovered that the reserve figures are stable now and do not change as the system refreshes.

I went further to check these;

- Clear placeholder text on the refund field: "Refund address (required) — same network as the deposit"
-Tooltip explaining why the refund address is required

It seems that nothing is done yet in those aspects.

Interesting framing — "stay small to stay safe." Honestly, that strategy has its own risks. Small services often have less infrastructure resilience, less reserve depth, and less institutional ability to handle problems. Being a "small fish" doesn't make you invisible — sometimes it just makes you easier to swallow.
Z-tight nailed it below — you don't really get to choose the size of your fishbowl. Either the community uses your service or it doesn't. The right response isn't to stay artificially small, but to design for survivability at any scale. That's what we're trying to do.

Yep, I am really satisfied to hear your response, as I also believe that artificial constraints is not a hedge against risk, it is a mere delay strategy. Designing for survivability at any scale completely shifts the focus from managing size and staying in the market by being a small fish to building resilience.

I also understand from which angle he said to be small fish. But it is to give it all, it takes, because it all depends on the validation from the community, if they want to fly, let them fly. And it has been proved so many times that, if a service provides real value then growth is inevitable.

That is because it is yet to be implemented. Dex.fo_off was simply giving us a lowdown of what to expect next, which includes polishing of the user interface and what you mention above falls under what would be done. I am sure once the rework is complete, it would be posted in this topic and we'd also be able to confirm it in the website.

Regarding trading pairs with stablecoins, I’d like to ask if there are any plans to add other networks, such as BSC, SOL and TON (Gram), for USDT swaps? I understand that this might not be a top priority, since USDT (ERC-20) likely covers most users’ needs, but having a variety of networks wouldn’t hurt.

I am not sure if you have been falling the thread but for a couple of months now, some members have asked the same question and the representative says that adding support for BSC and SOL is in the road map. I think we just need a little more patience for this as they have already added other requested networks/coins as promised

Here are a few quotes from the rep

My bad. I didn’t notice the replies about this that had been posted earlier in this thread.

I really understood. I was just thinking that since they implemented one, they would also implement others. But I now realized that there are some easy fixes and there some fixes that will require good time in order not to disrupt the system.

Glad that you understand. Because, bro, the team has to manage other things as well, and on top of that they have to make changes without disrupting the functionality of the exchange. That's why they are doing it professionally. They will hear your request as well.

Just give them the time they need, and that's enough.

1️⃣ Fast mode: 1.5% fee, instant after network confirmation. Exchange crypto without bridges.
2️⃣ Chain mode: 0.8% fee, up to 60 minutes. Via decentralized cross-chain mechanisms.
✅ Both have low AML: After exchanging through DEX.fo your coins are accepted on any exchange without exception.

Hello, I have question about these modes.

Fast mode isn't currently working now. It is disabled for quite some time. Is it coming back soon? You have a lot of coins in reserves to sit idle.

I am curious about the fees. Why are the fees higher when using your own reserves? Shouldn't be the opposite? Charging higher fees when looking for third party liquidity?

I usually prefer to not use third party liquidity when possible.

[stompix]

I am curious about the fees. Why are the fees higher when using your own reserves? Shouldn't be the opposite? Charging higher fees when looking for third party liquidity?

One cause for this might be the need for balancing their funds also, in case you go through liquidity pools the funds don't influence your balance, that's the mission of the pools by default, if they would be doing this for their own reserves, they need to immediately purchase the opposite so they are not exposed to a price crash, imagine someone sells 5BTC at 65k and in one 15 minutes it goes to 60k.

So, behind the counter, with the fast exchange from their reserves, they also need to exchange themselves to keep the books balanced.

[Z-tight]

Fast mode isn't currently working now. It is disabled for quite some time. Is it coming back soon? You have a lot of coins in reserves to sit idle.

@DEX.fo_off already announced sometime early last month that Fast Mode would be offline and unavailable for about a month, so if all goes to plan, it should be back online sometime this month. Fast Mode was working on limited reserves according to their representative, so a major rework is expected to build that up, so it would always be available across all the pairs listed in the exchange.

I just wanted to write the same, haha. Anyway, while it was working I was able to use it. The fee obviously is unbeatable at the moment with those low 0.8%. I am used to pay 1-3 %, or even more sometimes, so this is super fair. Obviously if you need it super quick then you might want to use the normal version with the 1.5% but if you have some minutes to spare (for me it took like 30min) it is definitely worth the wait to safe some money in fees.

@aoluain

Thanks! Stablecoins were a real gap in our lineup — glad to finally close it. Native USDC opens up a bunch of use cases that had to go through USDT before, which wasn't always the best route. Looking forward to seeing you use it.

@MarryWithBTC @Z-tight

Z-tight explained it perfectly — the refund field placeholder and tooltip are part of the broader UI polish batch, not shipped yet. Some fixes go live standalone (like the stable reserves display), others are grouped into a coordinated UI update to avoid partial states. The UI batch is in progress. When it lands, we'll announce here.

And thanks MarryWithBTC for coming back to test and verify the reserves fix — that kind of follow-up is what actually confirms what shipped and what didn't. Really appreciate it.

@Hamza2424

"Artificial constraints aren't a hedge against risk, they're a mere delay strategy" — nailed it in one line. That's the whole thesis. If a service is providing real value, growth is what happens next. The question isn't how to avoid it — the question is how to be ready when it comes.

@dwyane36 @logfiles

Thanks logfiles for pointing to the earlier posts — that saves us repeating ourselves and helps everyone stay aligned. To answer directly:

- **USDT on BSC** — yes, planned along with the BSC rollout
- **USDT on SOL** — same, planned with Solana
- **USDT on TON** — currently not on the immediate roadmap, but we're tracking demand. If interest in this thread grows, it goes higher in the queue. That's how ETH and USDC got prioritized — the same mechanic works for anything else.

@dwyane36

No worries at all — this thread moves fast and stuff gets lost. Better to ask twice than assume something wasn't answered.

@bitmover

Great questions, and stompix nailed the answer below 👇.

Quick recap on the Fast mode timing — yes, it's been offline for about a month for a rework. As Z-tight and AHOYBRAUSE noted, we said upfront it would take around a month, and we're on track. When it comes back, availability will be consistent across pairs, not the rotating "some pairs yes, some no" situation we had before.

On why Fast is 1.5% vs Chain's 0.8% — stompix explained it correctly. When we use our own reserves for Fast, we take on price risk between the moment the user's deposit arrives and the moment we can rebalance our position. That risk has a real cost. In Chain mode we're just routing through third-party pools — they take the price risk, and we pass through most of the fee savings to the user. Different mechanics, different fee structure.

Also on your preference to avoid third-party liquidity when possible — completely reasonable stance, and Fast is designed exactly for that. When it's back, you'll have that option.

@stompix

Spot on explanation — thanks for laying it out clearly. The balancing dynamic is exactly why Fast can't be priced the same as Chain even though it feels "simpler" from the user side. Appreciate you jumping in.

@Z-tight @AHOYBRAUSE

Thanks both for keeping the thread aligned on Fast mode status. Yes, coming back this month as planned. And AHOYBRAUSE — thanks for the honest fee comparison from your real usage. 0.8% Chain vs waiting 30 minutes is exactly the trade-off we designed for.

📢 New pairs added — ETH & USDC

It's really nice to see that ETH and USDC have finally been added. Adding new assets also increases the options for users. I tried the BTC to USDC pair once for this update, and so far the exchange process seems to be pretty smooth.
Reading the previous replies, I understand that BSC, Solana and other networks are on your roadmap. Honestly, I'm even more excited for them. I think BSC support in particular will make transactions more convenient for many users.

[cryptofrka]

Tested it out for the first time, UI is simple to navigate and the swap was processed quickly.
Overall happy to hear about the addition of ETH and USDC - I plan to test the platform a bit more upon my return from holidays.

The quick swap that I needed to make was fully hassle-free.
