GhostSwap Launches Partner API for Non-Custodial Crypto Swaps
GhostSwap has officially launched its Partner API, a developer-focused interface enabling wallets, exchanges, decentralized applications (dApps), and other crypto products to offer fully non-custodial, no-Know Your Customer (KYC) token swaps to their users through a single backend integration.
The API is now live, and the partner dashboard is open for applications. Approved partners can begin integrating and deploying within 24 hours.
Key Features and Benefits
The defining characteristic of the new Partner API is its lack of KYC requirements. The swap process itself does not involve user document uploads, identity verification, or email collection. The GhostSwap Partner API adheres to the core principle of self-custodial crypto: users retain control of their keys, select two assets, and execute the swap.
This means that wallets, portfolio dashboards, and trading bots can now offer in-product crypto-to-crypto swaps without the need to onboard a KYC vendor, expand their compliance scope, or redirect users to third-party landing pages. The integration utilizes a server-to-server REST architecture, allowing backends to communicate directly, while the frontend renders the existing swap user interface, keeping users within the product.
Streamlined Integration
The API is designed to minimize integration time. Authentication is handled via a single header: Authorization: Bearer :. This approach is consistent with authentication methods used by services like Stripe, Twilio, OpenAI, and Resend. There is no JSON-RPC, no upstream signing key for partners to manage, and no node infrastructure to operate. The authentication reference is a single page.
A basic integration involves five REST endpoints: listing currencies, listing supported pairs, fetching real-time quotes, validating destination addresses, and creating swaps. Status updates are provided through a single polled endpoint. The full reference is available at /docs/api/swaps, and a 10-minute quickstart guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough.
Partner Fees and Earnings
Partners can set their own fees, ranging from 0% to 4%, which are added as a markup on the user-facing swap rate. The partner’s share of each completed swap is accrued in an earnings ledger that updates in real-time. Withdrawals are paid in USDT on TRC-20 or ERC-20 directly from the partner dashboard.
There are no minimum monthly volume requirements, setup fees, or contractual obligations. For example, a wallet routing $1 million in monthly swap volume with a 1.5% partner fee could earn approximately $15,000 per month in passive USDT.
Production-Ready Features
The API includes essential features for production integrations, such as Idempotency-Key headers to prevent duplicate swaps, RFC-9112 RateLimit-* response headers for client self-throttling, a documented status lifecycle, a stable error contract, and an audit-logged secret-reveal flow for secure credential rotation.
Supported Cryptocurrencies and Application Process
The API provides access to the same liquidity as GhostSwap’s consumer product, supporting hundreds of cryptocurrencies across various blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Smart Chain, Tron, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and Litecoin. The live currency list is accessible via a single REST call.
To apply, visit partners.ghostswap.io/dashboard. The application form takes approximately two minutes to complete, requiring a business name, website, and desired fee percentage. GhostSwap administrators review applications within 24 hours. Upon approval, partners receive a dedicated API credential and can begin making calls immediately. A program overview is available at ghostswap.io/api.
KYC Compliance and Integration Time
The swap process itself does not require KYC, identity checks, document uploads, or email collection. Users maintain control of their keys throughout the trade, and GhostSwap does not custody funds or collect user Personally Identifiable Information (PII) for the swap.
A complete production integration typically takes 2–4 engineering days. The quickstart guide can guide users to their first completed swap in approximately ten minutes.
Fees and AI Integration
A small platform markup is applied to every swap, transparently added to the upstream rate. Partners then add their own fee, ranging from 0% to 4%, and retain that commission in USDT.
The API also supports integration with AI agents.
GhostSwap Partner API offers non-custodial, no-KYC crypto swaps for wallets, dApps, bots, and AI agents. Apply at ghostswap.io/api.
