[ANN] nokyc.watch - find no-KYC services, know who to trust
Hi everyone - I'm the developer and maintainer of
nokyc.watch, an independent, self-hosted directory of crypto services that don't demand your identity: exchanges, instant swaps, DEXes, mixers, wallets, crypto cards, casinos, VPNs, hosting, domains, SMS numbers and more. Before you open a service, its card answers three questions:
will it ask for documents, what does it know about you - and does it work right now?WHAT EVERY CARD SHOWS- KYC level 0-4 - 0 means guaranteed no KYC, 4 means mandatory ID. The one scale people actually care about, on every card.
- Privacy & Trust scores (0-100) - you can see every attribute that went into them, what it weighs and where the proof came from (links to the service's own ToS or docs).
- Live availability - probed around the clock, so you see whether it works right now.
- Onion mirrors - taken only from the service's own site and checked live over Tor, never copied from other catalogs. A wrong onion is worse than none.
- Moderated reviews - nothing user-submitted goes public before a moderator reads it.
HOW LISTINGS EARN THEIR STATUScommunity (submitted and moderated) -> approved (meets every published criterion) -> verified (inspected personally by me). Placement, scores and statuses cannot be bought - listing is free and stays free.
READER PRIVACY IS PART OF THE DESIGN- No trackers, no analytics, no CDNs, no external fonts - every asset served from our own server under a strict CSP.
- Accounts (for submissions and watchlists) use access keys. There is no email field in the user model at all - nothing to leak.
- Multilingual interface.
NO TOKENnokyc.watch is a website, not a token project. There is no coin, no ICO, no presale and no bounty - nothing to buy and nothing to shill. If someone offers you a "nokyc.watch token", it's a scam.
FOR SERVICE OPERATORSRun a no-KYC service that's missing from the catalog? Submissions are free and reviewed by hand:
nokyc.watch/submit. Found an error in an existing card? Corrections are treated as first-class contributions - post here or use the contact page.
The project is deliberately conservative with data: where a claim couldn't be verified against a first-party source, the card says so instead of guessing. The catalog keeps growing - current counts are always on the site. Questions and critique welcome; I'll keep this thread updated.
