How it works
A traditional swap leaves a direct A→B trace on-chain. We insert a privacy routing layer between two swaps: Monero (XMR) or Zcash (ZEC).
Flow
- Create order — pick currencies, enter your address; the rate is locked for 30 minutes.
- Send funds — send the exact amount to a one-time deposit address.
- Privacy routing — funds are swapped into XMR (ring signatures + stealth addresses + RingCT) or ZEC (zk-SNARK shielded pool). This step is untraceable on-chain.
- Payout — the target currency is swapped out of the privacy layer and sent to your address.
Why XMR / ZEC?
- Monero: private by default — sender, receiver and amount are hidden.
- Zcash: shielded-pool transactions are verified via zero-knowledge proofs without revealing metadata.
Because the intermediate asset cannot be linked on-chain, there is no publicly traceable connection between what you send and what you receive.
Failures and refunds
If any step cannot complete, funds are returned to the original sending address (except exchange hot-wallet sources, which require a refund address). See the transaction processing policy.
