What “trading anonymously” actually means
It means no one links your identity to your trades. You’re not opening an account, uploading a passport, or handing over trading history — you’re just exchanging coins between wallets you control. That’s the whole promise of a no-KYC swap: the trade lives entirely in a deposit address and a receiving address.
The fastest anonymous swap — step by step
- Pick a pair. Use the form above or open ETH → XMR.
- Compare. Live rates from 30+ exchanges load best-first, fees and limits shown up front.
- Enter your receiving address (and a refund address). No account, no email.
- Send the deposit shown, scan the QR if easier.
- Receive in 5–30 minutes — track it by order id.

Fixed vs floating for anonymous trades
A fixed rate locks your output for a short window — safer for volatile pairs and larger amounts. A floating rate follows the market until your deposit confirms and is often a hair cheaper. For anonymity neither matters; pick fixed if you dislike surprises. More in the FAQ.
Five rules to stay anonymous
- Send from a self-custody wallet, not a verified account.
- Use a fresh receiving address each time.
- Add a Monero hop (BTC → XMR) to break on-chain links.
- Connect over Tor or a trusted VPN.
- Check the track record before trusting a new service.
Frequently asked questions
How fast is an anonymous no-KYC swap?
Usually 5–30 minutes. Most of that is blockchain confirmations on the coin you send; the exchange forwards funds within a minute or two once the deposit confirms.
Do I need to register or give an email?
No. A no-KYC swap needs no account, email or login — only the deposit and receiving addresses.
Is it cheaper than a KYC exchange?
Often comparable or cheaper once you factor in no withdrawal lock-ups. There’s no platform fee to compare rates here — only the exchange spread plus network fees, shown before you confirm.
What’s the safest pair for privacy?
Anything routed through Monero — e.g. BTC → XMR then XMR → BTC — unlinks the two ends on-chain.
