Host a Swapbox and take part in decentralization
Hosting a Swapbox means giving people access to digital assets. It means protecting them from inflation, bad monetary policies and providing local access to financial services.
Choosing Swapbox over traditionnal crypto ATM has several advantages. No server, no exchange, no volatily risk, no hassle. On top of that, Swapbox is entirely open source and modular.

Cash-in device supports most currencies: more than 100 fiat currencies are supported. Cash-out device supports notes that are within these dimensions:
W: 62-77mm
L: 120-160mm
T: 0.08-0.0125mm
Swapbox doesn't work like a classic crypto ATM. Classic crypto ATMs are connected to a centralized exchange and need a server to host and access the backend admin application.
Swapbox is directly connected to the blockchain and uses liquidity from decentralized exchanges (such as Uniswap). It does not need a server either, as the admin backend settings are stored directly on the blockchain network in a smart contract. You can host the application for interacting with the smart contract locally.
Thanks to decentralized exchanges, you can offer any currencies available on the decentralized exchange you connected your Swapbox to.
It depends on your jurisdiction. Please ensure you are well informed about local regulations before buying a Swapbox kit.
You only need to take care of the cash reserve in each machine and the stablecoin balance in the smart contract. The decentralized exchange your Swapbox is connected to ensures the liquidity of crypto currencies.
There are a few costs to consider before starting a crypto ATM business. Installation cost, place rent, electricity and internet, cash management logistics, cost of locked capital, gas fees for updating the smart contract are typical costs to take into consideration. You can use the ROI calculator to estimate your costs, revenue, and profits from hosting Swapboxes.
Hosting Swapboxes offers numerous benefits for both the operator and customers. These advantages include enhanced visibility for the host location, the creation of a new revenue stream, crypto adoption promotion, and easy access to crypto, to name a few.
We do everything possible to make hosting a Swapbox as secure as possible. Strong and robust hardware, hidden cash balances, customisable limits and schedule for Swapbox use, minimalist smart contract to ensure robustness, sign-message admin login on machines, etc. However, it's only possible to get rid of some of the risks. You need to be aware that your machine can be stolen, and that malicious actors may try to attack it.
Swapbox currently supports 8 languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Italian, Arabic, Russian and German.
Shipping costs are not included in the price displayed. Shipping costs depend on the place of delivery and the quantity. We do our utmost to keep shipping costs as low as possible. Sending as a DIY kit to reduce the parcel size is one example.
Shipping costs vary between $100 and $300 for one machine but are degressive as the number of machines increases.
When you order a complete Swapbox kit, it is delivered in 2 separate parcels:
Electronic parts
Housing parts
The enclosures are shipped unassembled to reduce the size of the parcel.
The only payment methods available are stablecoins, tBTC or ETH on the zkSync Era network and Ethereum mainnet.
Swapbox software does not provide a KYC module. If your jurisdiction requires one, feel free to contact us for the development of a bespoke KYC module.
No. We can't: we have no way to access you machine's wallet and transactions.
This depends on the number of transactions, the amount of each transaction, and the imbalance between buys and sells. Data shows that the average crypto-currency ATM volume is around $20,000 per month, with 80% of buys, but it depends greatly on location. You can use the [ROI calculator] to estimate monthly volume. Locking in the same amount as the monthly volume is a good start.
Swapbox backend is different from classic crypto ATM backends. You do not need to have a server running 24/7. Swapbox admin dApp is used to interact with and deploy the Swapbox smart contract. You only need access to the admin dApp when you want to access analytics, change settings, or redeploy a new smart contract.
Your possibility to host the admin dApp of your fleet:
Local hosting: Store the application on your local computer.
Cloud/server hosting: Run your server or use a 3rd party cloud provider. We recommend using Swarm as a decentralized cloud storage service.
Using the default dApp, deployed and maintained by the Swapbox team.
The coin prices is taken directly from the decentralized exchange. The stablecoin price is assumed to be 1:1 with the fiat currency it represents.
Swapbox is not connected to a centralized exchange. Swapbox is connected directly through a blockchain network (and layer-2s), and can use the liquidity from any DEX (decentralized exchange) on that network.
Currently, only zkSync Era is supported.
You can set buy and sell fees to earn a portion of the volume your Swapbox is processing. On top of that, you are contributing to financial inclusion.
Yes. You will need to buy:
Two-way front plate
Cash-out device.
Cash-out device:
NDE1000 Cash-out device can hold up to 1000 notes.
Cash-in device:
NV10 drops notes loose in a plastic cashbox.
NV9 cash-in device can hold 300 notes (600 notes with stacker). NV9 also offers a lockable cash cassette.
NV200 cash-in device can hold up to a 1000 notes with the big stacker. It also offers a lockable cash cassette.
Swapbox prioritizes security through a robust design:
Sturdy Steel Enclosure: Each Swapbox is encased in a 2mm thick steel enclosure, providing exceptional physical protection.
Enhanced Vulnerable Parts: Critical areas, such as behind the 10" screen, are fortified with an additional 2mm thick steel plate.
Chain Attachment Point: Dedicated attachment point beneath the box, allowing users to secure it with a chain.
Locked cash devices: both NV9 cash-in and NDE1000 cash-out devices are equipped with a sturdy locker and a secure key system.
No. We have chosen not to use a note recycler, as they are unreliable, slow, don't process many notes and are expensive.
All parts are covered by a warranty free of defects upon reception.
Swapbox has a very low power consumption compared to other crypto ATMs. Theoretically, a Swapbox consumes less than 300W in peak consumption. When idle, Swapbox consumes around 15W. These values are theoretical, and we will update them with actual test values soon.
We offer 2 hours of technical support free of charge for any kit purchased. You can purchase technical support hours from us if you need more technical support. Technical support includes:
Technical support with your machine(s), admin dApp, and smart contract deployment and configuration.
Customization: new theme, custom KYC module, plugins, dApp integration, etc.
Our team will be happy to assist you.
If you have technical issues, you can always ask the community on the Telegram group or create an Issue on Gitlab if you believe the problem comes from the software.
