StealthEX: wallet-to-wallet swaps, quote costs and operator uncertainty

StealthEX offers quote-based crypto conversions and third-party fiat purchases. Its fee presentation, pending-transfer controls and unresolved current legal operator require separate examination.

By Editorial deskOperating status: ActivePublished Sources checked
  • Customers fund individual swap instructions and receive assets in an external wallet.
  • Fixed and floating quotes have different execution conditions; partner commissions are not a complete consumer cost schedule.
  • Network delays, provider recovery rules and compliance reviews can affect assets already sent.
  • The current incorporated counterparty remains unresolved after a dissolution notice concerning the LLC still named in the app listing.

StealthEX arranges wallet-to-wallet conversions through a quote-and-deposit workflow. Its exchange interface offers crypto swaps and links to third-party fiat purchases, while its partner tools let another website or wallet embed the same service. The important operating distinction is between holding no standing customer balance and controlling a transfer during processing: a swap can still depend on liquidity providers, blockchain confirmations and compliance review.[1][14][10]

The public service and Android listing remain active, but the incorporated counterparty behind the current brand is not established by the July 2026 terms. The company section below records a government dissolution notice concerning the LLC still named in the app listing. This is a corporate-continuity gap, not evidence that every current swap has stopped.[2][22][27]

Markets & services

Sections ↑

A customer selects the sending asset, receiving asset, amount and rate type, then supplies a receiving address. StealthEX generates the deposit instructions and forwards the converted asset after processing. The interface advertises more than 2,000 coins and tokens; that company figure is an asset catalogue claim, not a count of liquid markets or evidence that every route is available for every amount.[4][1]

Service choices and their operating boundaries

Service choices and their operating boundaries
ServiceWhat the customer receivesRelevant boundary
Crypto conversionA quoted conversion delivered to an external wallet.The reviewed workflow is a swap instruction, rather than an exchange account with a reusable trading balance.Source 6Source 25
Floating quoteAn estimated receiving amount that moves with the rate used during processing.The initial estimate can increase or decrease before completion.Source 5
Fixed quoteA rate reservation for the particular exchange.Funding must meet the amount and time conditions shown for that order.Source 5
Fiat purchaseCrypto delivered after a payment-provider checkout.The provider controls its payment, identity checks and quote; availability varies by route.Source 12
Embedded integrationsSwap functionality inside a partner website, wallet or application.The integrator may configure additional fees; an embedded form does not eliminate the underlying processing chain.Source 17Source 18

Web, app and transaction continuity

The Android listing shows an update dated 5 August 2026 and a 10K+ download band. That is an app-store threshold, not verified funded accounts or active traders. The company’s January 2026 mobile guide describes transaction history, market-rate checking and a favourites list. A public feature-by-feature comparison, cross-device history guarantee and complete statement-export specification were not established from the reviewed materials.[22][24]

Because the transaction has its own exchange identifier and on-chain transfer, closing a browser window is not a cancellation instruction. Retain the exchange ID and transaction hash independently of a browser session; support uses those details to locate delayed transfers. No live trade, mobile-login recovery or persistence test was performed for this profile.[4][13]

Fees & commercial terms

Sections ↑

StealthEX’s public consumer FAQ describes network and liquidity-provider charges as included in the displayed estimate. There is no universal consumer maker/taker tariff to apply across all routes. Compare the final receiving amount for the same asset, network, input amount and rate mode; the quote is economically more useful than assuming that an advertised partner commission is the whole customer cost.[3][19]

Reference table02

How conversion costs arise

How conversion costs arise
Cost or conditionPublished treatmentHow to read the figure
Floating executionThe receiving amount follows the rate when the swap is processed.A favourable or adverse rate movement changes the result even without a separately itemised new charge.Source 5
Fixed executionThe help guide describes a time-limited reservation, usually 15–30 minutes, and a higher spread than floating.The actual order deadline governs; the guide’s usual window is not a promise for every route.Source 5
Sending-wallet network costThe customer must broadcast the deposit from a wallet or exchange.Check the sending service’s fee as well as the receiving estimate; a charge paid outside the quote is still part of the customer’s expenditure.Source 4
Fiat purchaseThe customer chooses a payment-provider offer and completes that provider’s checkout.Compare fiat charged with crypto delivered, and inspect any issuer currency-conversion or payment charge separately.Source 12
Reference table03

Worked example: partner fee configuration

Worked example: partner fee configuration
Input or calculationIllustrative result
Documented standard partner fee0.4% in the partner configuration described in the API v4 specification.Source 18
Partner adds 0.6 percentage points0.4% + 0.6% = 1.0%. The extra-fee parameter applies to floating swaps.Source 18
10,000 units × 1.0%100 units of illustrative partner-fee value; 40 at the standard rate and 60 from the increment.Source 18

The separate partner page illustrates commission using 50 BTC of volume at 0.4%, giving 0.2 BTC. That is a partner-revenue example. It should not be read as a fixed consumer discount, withdrawable customer bonus or complete statement of what a particular customer pays.[19]

Funding a single swap

Funding a single swap
StageRequired actionWhy it matters
Select the routeMatch both asset and network, then read the quoted minimum.The swap guide gives a typical minimum of roughly US$10–20, but explicitly makes it route dependent.Source 6
Receiving detailsUse the destination wallet address and any required additional identifier.The interface may label a memo or tag as Payment ID; some XRP, XLM and ATOM routes need it.Source 9
DepositSend the requested amount to the address generated for this exchange.The FAQ does not permit funding one swap from two different wallets; separate transfers require separate exchanges.Source 4Source 3
ConfirmationsWait for the relevant blockchain and processing stages.The general help estimate is 5–30 minutes, with an hour or longer possible during congestion or other delays.Source 7
DeliveryCheck receipt on the destination network and preserve the hash.Delivery to an external wallet is the final leg of the exchange, not a later withdrawal from a standing StealthEX balance.Source 4

Asset-specific confirmation rules can outweigh the general timing headline. The Monero help article dated 21 January 2026 states a minimum of 25 confirmations and an estimated 45–75 minutes. It directs users to support if processing remains incomplete after the required confirmations. These are published operating estimates, not independently measured completion times.[26]

Reference table05

Exceptions, delays and recovery

Exceptions, delays and recovery
ProblemPublished handlingPractical limit
Below-minimum or mismatched amountThe wrong-amount guide directs the user to support; a subminimum transfer is not automatically exchanged.Recovery depends on technical feasibility and the liquidity provider’s policy.Source 8
Wrong destination or deposit addressA transfer to another StealthEX address can be investigated; an unrelated address is outside its recovery control.An investigation does not guarantee that assets can be recovered.Source 8
Missing memo or tagSupply the exchange ID and blockchain transaction hash for manual tracing.The asset may have reached an address without being attributed to the intended transaction.Source 9
Large floating-rate movementThe FAQ says an abrupt move above 5% in either direction can cause failure, followed by support arranging a new rate or refund.The terms allow failed-transaction refunds to exclude incurred service, network and third-party charges.Source 3Source 2
Delayed network or provider processingSupport can investigate with the exchange ID and transaction hash.The reviewed delay guidance does not provide a telephone dealing service or a guaranteed completion deadline.Source 7Source 13

Custody & asset handling

Sections ↑

The fund-protection help page says that crypto passes through the processing system temporarily before onward delivery. That is more informative about the transfer interval than the broad non-custodial label: during a pending swap, the user cannot simply spend the same deposited coins from the original wallet. The reviewed materials do not establish an insured recovery entitlement, customer-specific segregation audit or complete independently audited asset-and-liability statement.[10]

Reference table06

Control and information during processing

Control and information during processing
AreaWhat the documents establishRemaining boundary
Compliance holdThe AML policy allows a transaction to be postponed until due-diligence and source-of-assets information is supplied.A no-account workflow does not remove the possibility of a held transfer.Source 16
Recovery investigationWrong-amount and wrong-address cases are reviewed under technical and provider constraints.Support access is not equivalent to possession of a private key capable of reversing a completed blockchain transfer.Source 8
Personal dataThe privacy policy covers technical logs, transaction data and identification information where requested, with permitted sharing.The reviewed policy does not support a promise that all swaps are anonymous or that no personal data is processed.Source 15
RetentionThe AML policy describes at least five years of relevant record retention after the transaction or relationship ends, with possible extensions.A deletion request does not necessarily override legal retention obligations.Source 16Source 15

Client eligibility & restrictions

Sections ↑

The July 2026 terms require adulthood under the applicable minimum age, legal capacity and lawful ownership of assets. They exclude restricted or sanctioned persons and jurisdictions, and politically exposed persons together with specified family members or close associates. Organisations require prior approval. The terms do not provide a complete country-by-country permission matrix, so global website access should not be treated as confirmed local eligibility.[2]

Crypto swapping ordinarily needs no account, but the verification guide allows KYC for unusual activity, high-volume transactions or liquidity-provider requests. Checks can therefore arise after funds have been sent. The absence of a registration form at the start does not determine what evidence will be required to complete a particular exchange.[11]

The support guide advertises chat responses within a few minutes and email responses in about 20–30 minutes. Those are company claims rather than measured service levels. A useful case file contains the original quote, deposit instructions, exchange ID, relevant network, sending and receiving hashes, and any verification or refund correspondence.[13][4]

The terms select England and Wales law and London courts, subject to mandatory consumer rights, and require written dispute notification to support within 30 days of the occurrence. That contractual route does not identify an independent compensation scheme or establish that the unnamed operating company is incorporated in England.[2]

Authorisations & registrations

Sections ↑

No firm-specific financial authorisation was established for the current contracting operator in this review. The AML policy describes compliance procedures, while the current terms identify the service by brand; neither supplies a verified present-day licence entry for a named legal counterparty. The company-status notice discussed below concerns dissolution of an LLC and should not be relabelled as a financial regulator’s assessment of the trading service.[2][16][27]

Operator & entity scope

Sections ↑

The Android app listing identifies its developer as Stealthex Llc and gives an address at Euro House, Richmond Hill Road, P.O. Box 2897, Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The listing’s August 2026 software-update date establishes an app event, not the legal status of that company or its appointment as the present swap counterparty.[22]

The government Gazette published on 16 December 2025 states on printed page 827 that STEALTHEX LLC, company number 2680 LLC 2022, was dissolved and removed from the register following a certificate dated 1 December 2025. The July 2026 website terms subsequently identify only StealthEx. The reviewed later public documents did not establish a reinstatement, replacement incorporated operator or customer-contract transfer. The matching name and territory warrant the continuity question, but the notice alone cannot prove the operator behind every current website transaction.[27][2]

The company’s March 2023 announcement records the launch of fixed-rate exchanges and describes StealthEX as established in 2018. These are company-reported milestones. No independently verified current trading-volume figure, funded-customer count or active-user total was established; the app download band and advertised asset count are different measures.[23][22][1]

Authorisation and registration scope
No current financial permission verified for a named incorporated counterparty. A government notice records dissolution of STEALTHEX LLC in December 2025; the later terms do not identify a successor. The app publisher listing is not a licence or conclusive current counterparty record.

Additional Information

Developer access and automation

API v4 uses bearer-key authentication and documents a 600-request-per-minute limit, with HTTP 429 and Retry-After for throttling. Its endpoints cover routes, estimates, exchange creation and tracking. Fixed-rate creation uses a rate identifier and expiry from the estimate. The exchange record distinguishes expected from received deposit amounts and expected from sent withdrawal amounts, which helps an integration avoid presenting an estimate as completed delivery.[18]

The API creates a routing instruction; it does not sign the customer’s sending-wallet transaction. Partner documentation recommends server-side integration. A complete read-only-key permission matrix, credential-revocation delay and account-wide kill-switch behaviour were not established in the reviewed public specification. The documented automation is exchange routing and status handling; an AI label would not establish discretionary trading authority.[18][17]

Partner earnings and records

StealthEX offers referral links and an embedded exchange widget. The widget page advertises commission of 0.4% and describes partner earnings paid in BTC through the partner account. A referral balance belongs to the partner programme, distinct from the customer’s swap output. The reviewed landing pages did not establish a complete current payout-minimum, settlement-time and eligibility schedule for every partner arrangement.[20][21]

For record keeping, the company’s card guide shows purchase details such as fiat amount, crypto amount, provider transaction reference and receiving address, while its mobile guide describes exchange history. Preserve those details together with network fees and the final on-chain receipts. A complete tax-ready export, cost-basis calculation and history-retrieval guarantee after changing devices were not established by the reviewed guides.[24]
