[ANN] ZERO TRACE | Privacy Swap Aggregator | KYC Ratings | XMR Bridge | No KYC

[Pmalek]

I'm curious, how can an aggregator know or be sure whether an exchanger logs the user's IP?
Is there a reliable method for such a check, or is everything based on "make my word". If this attribute is based on trust and belief in the word exchanger, what prevents bad actors from coming here and gaining unjustified trust?

My guess is that it's based on trust. Many exchanges and similar services mention in their terms and privacy policies what they log and what kind of data they store from their users. So, they don't always hide it, and the information is out there. ZERO TRACE probably checks their claims based on the documentation available on their websites. But you are correct. A service with ulterior motives could lie and say they don't log this and that but still do it.

Before you swap, you should know:

• Does this exchange log your IP?

Fair question.

ZERO TRACE itself logs nothing — no account, no IP, no analytics.
Pure HTML/JS running client-side.

The underlying exchanges (via Trocador API) are a different story — and that's exactly why the KYC Rating exists.

A-rated providers: no logging under any circumstances.
B/C-rated: may log under specific conditions — disclosed upfront.

We don't claim the third-party exchanges are log-free.
We make their policies visible before you commit.
That's the difference.

If a provider's logging policy changes or an incident surfaces — the rating gets updated. It's not set and forget.

You guys are welcome to the forum, I will take my time to check you guys out, the no KYC I saw is what is actually making me to check you guys out and I believe so many people will be interested because of the NO kYC, I usually don’t open my heart that easily or trust easily, let’s look into you people a little bit.

That's exactly the right attitude — don't trust, verify.

The swap is live and requires nothing:
cetoc.org/zero/zerotrace.html or cetoc.org/swap/

No account. No email. No KYC.
Try a small amount first — that's what we'd do too.

One thing worth knowing upfront: XMR Bridge routes through two separate swaps with a deliberate delay between them.
That means the process takes longer than a standard swap — up to 20-30 minutes — and the minimum is higher ($60-80+).

That's the trade-off for breaking the on-chain link completely.
Speed vs. privacy. You decide which matters more.

Yes I have to actually verify carefully before any decision, you guys are actually great, I have been going through everything but I need more time I really don’t rush things like this because it involves money.

Yeah of course when I want to start I will definitely use a very small amount at first, i believe that’s the right thing to do when trying something new the first time to avoid issues.

KYC Rating System (A to D):

• A = Never KYC under any circumstances
• B = KYC only under specific conditions

A = great
B = contradiction
Never KYC under any circumstances should be consistent

Fair point — and it's intentional.

A = the gold standard. No KYC, ever, under any circumstances.
That's what we recommend and what ZERO TRACE prioritizes.

But we list B/C/D for transparency, not endorsement.

People swap with these services anyway.
Better they know the policy upfront than find out when their funds are on hold.

A "never KYC" filter is available —
if you only want Grade A providers, you can limit to those.
The rating system exists to inform, not to compromise.
