Your Coins.
Your Business.
Full Stop.

Let's be crystal clear: there is no KYC on this platform. Not for small swaps. Not for large ones. Not ever. There is no threshold where we suddenly decide we need a photo of your passport. There is no "enhanced due diligence" kick-in at $1,000 or $10,000 or $100,000. The number is zero. It has always been zero. It will always be zero.

We are not interested in who you are. We are not interested in where you live, what you do for work, or what government issued your ID. That information is completely irrelevant to the task of swapping one cryptocurrency for another. It was irrelevant yesterday. It is irrelevant today. And no regulatory trend, no industry "best practice," no pressure from any direction will change our position on this.

Many exchanges started where we are and slowly drifted — first adding KYC for large amounts, then for withdrawals, then for everything. We will not drift. The zero in ZeroKYC is a commitment, not a marketing line.

There is something deeply, fundamentally wrong with the idea that you should have to explain yourself to a corporation — or to anyone — before moving your own money. Cryptocurrency was built to fix exactly this. The entire philosophical foundation of decentralized finance is that you are in control. You don't need permission. You don't need approval. You don't need to pass a background check to spend what belongs to you.

And yet somewhere along the line, most of the industry forgot that. Exchanges started collecting names, addresses, phone numbers, selfies, proof of income, and source-of-funds documentation. They hired compliance teams. They built verification pipelines. They turned a peer-to-peer financial revolution into something that looks suspiciously like a bank — the very thing Bitcoin was designed to make irrelevant.

Think about what you're actually doing when you use crypto. You are moving your wealth, earned through your effort, from one place to another. Why does a third party need to know about that? When you hand cash to a friend, no one photographs your face and logs the transaction. When you pay for dinner, no one asks for your employment history. Your financial activity is yours. The moment you accept that someone else has the right to scrutinize it, catalogue it, and store it in a database that can be breached, subpoenaed, or sold — you've given away something you cannot easily get back.

We also live in a world of data leaks. KYC databases are treasure troves for hackers. Every exchange that collected your ID scan, your address, your date of birth — that data exists somewhere on a server, and servers get compromised. The most privacy-preserving thing a company can do is simply never collect that data in the first place. You cannot leak what you never stored. ZeroKYC collects nothing about you beyond what is technically necessary to route your swap. There is no profile. There is no record. There is nothing to leak.

Beyond the practical, there is the principled. Financial surveillance is surveillance. A complete record of every transaction you make is a window into your life — your habits, your beliefs, your relationships, your health. People have always understood that some things are private not because they are shameful but because they are personal. The books you read. The causes you donate to. The people you pay. These are yours. They belong to you. The fact that they happen to involve money does not transform them into public information or make them the legitimate business of any exchange, any company, or any state.

We are not anti-law. We are pro-privacy. Those are not the same thing. Privacy is not a cover for wrongdoing — it is the cover for everything. Every conversation, every relationship, every purchase, every belief you hold privately. The same right that protects the things you're embarrassed about protects the things you're proud of. You don't get to have one without the other. When you erode privacy "for safety," you erode it for everyone, for everything, forever.

So when you use ZeroKYC, understand what you are participating in. You are participating in the original vision of what crypto was supposed to be. Peer to peer. Private. Permissionless. Without gatekeepers. Your coins are yours. Your transactions are yours. Your identity is yours. We are just here to help you move value from one place to another — and then get out of your way.
