0trace — truly private instant exchange

[casey15]

Very good questions, thank you.

1. “Liquidity routing” is simply an extremely honest description from our side. All core liquidity is ours. For some directions (for example SOL → USDT on Solana), we may use DEX infrastructure for automatic swap execution and payout processing. We never share user data with third parties, and never will.

2. Even the clearnet version is designed to be as privacy-oriented as possible from the service side. We do not keep logs, do not store order data longer than necessary, and do not request or collect user information beyond what is technically required to complete a swap. The clearnet version also does not connect any external resources such as analytics systems, tracking scripts, metrics platforms, or third-party monitoring services.

The Tor version exists to provide more stable and native operation inside the Tor network and its infrastructure.

That all makes sense. A question though, if the entire core liquidity is held internally and no logs or external analytics/monitoring services are kept how do you then perform abuse prevention, fraud patterns monitoring, up-time, attack monitoring, troubleshooting or dispute resolution? Do you maintain some in-memory temporary monitoring solution or is it all done strictly at transaction level without any auditable records maintained.

Updated the liquidity and routing description.
Some wording could be interpreted ambiguously.

0trace uses exclusively its own liquidity and never shares swap data with third-party liquidity providers via API.

If I may say focusing on internal liquidity really highlights the difference in service in terms of privacy compared to other exchanges.....

​That said, what are your plans to keep your service stable and reliable for users in times when the market is moving rapidly or is highly volatile? I am just curious because I believe it's all about long lasting potential and value that's all.....

Every new company will always give you a positive feedback on this question the only time we are going to fine out the real answer is as time goes on and they start having rapid growth then we are going to see their real potential as for now they will always give us a good and positive response to make us more calm, but let see how things will go for them however with their response I believe they are going to do well but time will tell.
Good question though.

Thank you for the positive words and attention to the project.

No — 0trace is not a mixer. We are a privacy-focused instant exchange service.
A mixer is specifically designed to obfuscate the transaction history of the same asset by pooling and redistributing funds between multiple participants.
0trace works differently. We process regular cryptocurrency swaps between different assets and networks using our own liquidity and exchange infrastructure.

Privacy and mixing are not the same thing.

Thank you for responding as well, it is encouraging to see representatives addressing users questions for clarification. And from what you have explained so far, I am now convinced that Otrace is not a mixer, rather a cryptocurrency exchange that promote pure privacy.
 
I also tried to explore your platform and the image below puped up. Since the Otrace exchange is still undergoing update process I would check back later to see if there are any areas I that may require further clarifications, thanks.

System update usually go on in every exchange and I think that’s what is going on and I just tried the exchange now and theirs nothing like that anymore, I think the update has ended, they are really working on their exchange and that’s why they are updating and that’s good for them and again maybe someone pointed out something on their exchange they really needed to work on and maybe that’s what they were trying to fix.
You can go on with the exchange now it’s fine now because I checked.

Yeah, system update is something that commonly happen on any platform not only on exchanges.  Otrace, on the other hand is still in its early stage, so seeing the platform undergoing an update is not surprising since the Otrace exchange is still in its early stage.  I also checked the exchange before making this comment, the Otrace exchange is still undergoing update process, and it might take some time before the update process is completed.

Yes, we've been updating the platform frequently lately. We're preparing a major release for release.
We really appreciate your attention.

Yes, that's right. Of course, there will be fewer of them in the future. We're currently in the active phase of constant updates.
Thank you for your attention, it's much appreciated.

You guys are really working hard to keep the exchange updated and running. You should try as much as possible to communicate to your clients Via your X handle before any updates takes effect on your exchange. You cannot paused ongoing activities on your exchange without informing your clients. Most exchanges I have done transactions with always inform their clients before any updates is implemented. Please you people should inform clients before updating the platforms, this shows respect.

I will be waiting for the big thing that is coming.  I have really picked an interest in your platform, and i can't wait for you guys to complete the updating process so that i can explore it.  And from now on i will be using your exchange to swap my cryptocurrencies and i hope what is coming will make your platform look unique.

Major Update: Partner API, New Order Flow & UI.

We've shipped a significant update across the board. Here's what changed:

Partner API — now live Server-to-server integration is available for aggregators, wallets, and monitorings. Two models: set your own markup (0–20 %) on every quote, or apply for revenue share — a configurable split of the base service fee. Wire format is ff.io/v2 compatible, so existing integrations require minimal changes.

Docs and partner contact: https://0trace.io/api

Redesigned order flow The entire order process has been rebuilt from the ground up — new UI, cleaner steps, faster interaction. The backend handling orders has been optimized as well: lower latency from quote to confirmation.

Smaller UI improvements Various quality-of-life changes throughout the interface.

Thank you to everyone who supports and helps the project grow — it means a lot to us.

I took a closer look at Otrace, and frankly speaking Otrace is a perfect example of privacy. Therefore, if you are the type who values privacy then Otrace is here for you. But their is something I would like their representative to clarify for me. Since Octrace is an instant crypto swap platform that doesn't require users to register before using it,  what is the difference between Octrace and a mixer? And don't you think people could classified Otrace as a mixer?

That comes to my mind too but I think since is a new project they can resolve that gradually, but what is good is that Otrace is private and you can do your thing in a peaceful way without too much stress in it. Mixer is different with Octrace because if you see mixers is not till they told you is it and you will definitely understand it immediately. I can’t wait for the new thing that is coming and am sure that can be a good thing that will benefit many people in the exchange, we will be waiting for the new update that is coming from Otrace.

Well I’m quite excited about what is coming soon, because I have actually picked a massive interest in your project, which I’m quite happy about, I would always want something as a new development in your platform, few days ago I was able to take a closer watch on your platform and I must say I’m impressed with the privacy in this project.

I have used your platform once for exchanging my cryptocurrency I must admit I was very very impressed with what I have seen in your exchange platform.

 I must admit I was very very impressed with what I have seen in your exchange platform.

They are doing very well I most say too, the exchange has no issues but I'm still looking to see any red flag but I have not seen any meaning the exchange is doing very well and they plan to stay in business for long, I believe they will improve more and become more better as time goes on.
Again I have not seen anyone complain about their service in this thread that is also a good sign because before i even thought about using their service I first checked all the comments made by people on this thread and that's one way to go about things in this forum.
