How to get listed on exchanger monitorings

An exchanger monitoring is an aggregator that collects rates from dozens or hundreds of exchange services and shows them side by side. For the owner of an exchanger, being listed there is the main way to acquire customers. Below: which monitorings exist and what each one requires under its own rules, what rates file you need and how to prepare an exchanger before you apply.

Why a crypto exchanger needs monitorings

Most users are not looking for a particular exchanger by name — they are looking for the best rate. Monitorings collect that demand and route it: the user picks a direction, sees a list of exchangers with their rates and reserves, and clicks through to the site with the best terms.

For a new exchanger this is often the only meaningful source of traffic at launch:

• Traffic from day one — even a brand-new exchanger gets visitors when its rate is competitive;
• trust — a listing on a major monitoring signals that the service is legitimate;
• reviews and reputation — monitorings build credit with customers through their reviews;
• competitor intelligence — you see other exchangers' rates and terms in real time.

Which exchanger monitorings exist and what they require

The terms below come from the monitorings' own pages and were checked on 30 September 2026. Rules change, so open the terms page before you apply — the links are in the table.

Beyond the track record and the reserve, each one has its own mandatory terms:

None of these monitorings names a listing price on its pages. BestChange states plainly that it never lists exchangers for money and does not sell faster reviews; OKChanger sells paid promotion inside the monitoring.

BestChange terms in detail

You apply by email or through the feedback form listed on the terms page, sending the site address, a link to the rates file, the referral programme terms and details of the software vendor. According to BestChange, the review takes from several weeks to several months.

What API exchanger monitorings need

Monitorings call it a rates export file. It is an XML file listing the exchange directions: for each one, the rate, the reserve and the minimum and maximum order amount. ExchangeSumo and E-mon also accept JSON. The monitoring polls the file itself: BestChange roughly once a second, OKChanger refreshes its data every 5 seconds, E-mon roughly once a minute.

The skeleton is the same everywhere: a root rates element with one item per direction. What goes into item, according to the BestChange documentation:

What matters is that the data updates on every rate change. A gap between the rate in the monitoring and the rate on your site irritates customers, and the monitorings delist for it: BestChange over wrong data on even one direction, OKChanger if the rate in the file is better than the one on the site.

Rates and reserves

Up-to-date rates are the main factor in where you sit in the listing. An exchanger with stale rates or zero reserves either falls out of the results or is shown at the very bottom of the list.

• Rates should update automatically — from exchange APIs or your own sources;
• reserves should reflect your real balance, not a declared one;
• minimum and maximum amounts should match the limits you actually accept on orders.

Order processing speed

Monitorings track how fast orders are processed. Automated exchangers close operations in minutes, while manual processing takes hours. Users prefer fast services, and monitorings factor that into the rating.

Exchanger reputation and customer reviews

Monitorings weigh customer reviews in the rating. Good service, fast exchanges and quick support generate organic positive reviews. Unanswered complaints pile up and drag the rating down.

AML/KYT and risk control

AML/KYT checks raise a monitoring's confidence in your exchanger. A KYT (Know Your Transaction) system screens every transaction for risk: sanctioned addresses, mixer services, darknet activity. Exchangers with an AML policy are treated as more reliable.

How CryptoExchanger gets the project ready

The CryptoExchanger platform includes every technical component you need to get listed on monitorings:

That covers the core technical requirements of the aggregators out of the box and leaves you free to work on the business itself — rates, reserves and the quality of your service. The track record, the size of the reserve, an original design and the reviews remain the owner's job — they are terms for the service itself, not for the software.
