Guarda Wallet added ChangeNOW’s API so users can swap, buy, and stake cryptocurrencies inside the app without the wallet becoming a regulated exchange.
Confirmed
Global impact / market context

- Performance and pricing of ChangeNOW’s API for high‑volume swaps, as cost efficiency will influence profitability for wallet operators. Proposed
