Hellex
3.3/10 total
An instant swapper that markets no sign-ups and 2-5 minute settlement, still online at its own domain as of July 2026. It appears on OrangeFren's permanent delist list, published in that site's FAQ, as one of five services removed following accusations of scamming OrangeFren users. That is a single identifiable source rather than a court record or a press investigation, but OrangeFren refunds users from its own guarantee programme, so it has a direct financial reason to be accurate about who it delists.

Agent access 1/10
No public API is documented. The swap flow is browser only and script dependent.
Reported separately and not counted in the total. It measures what an autonomous agent can do unattended, not whether the service is safe to use.
Fees
embedded in rate
No fee schedule is published. The site shows only a float rate and an amount range, so the entire cost is whatever the spread hides.
