CipherSwap Features
Designed for privacy, built for speed.
Non‑Custodial by Design
You never deposit funds into a shared pool. Bitcoin is sent directly to a unique deposit address, and Monero is released only after manual confirmation. CipherSwap never holds your private keys.
Zero Knowledge Required
No accounts. No emails. No KYC. Just a Bitcoin amount and a Monero address. We don't track, log, or profile our users.
Lightning Fast Settlement
XMR is released within minutes of Bitcoin confirmation. Our operator monitors the mempool in real time and processes swaps manually to ensure maximum speed.
Tor Native
Access CipherSwap via our .onion hidden service. All traffic is end‑to‑end encrypted and your IP address is never exposed.
Time‑Locked Escrow
Deposit addresses expire after 30 minutes. If you don't send BTC in time, the order auto‑cancels with zero risk of lost funds.
Cold Storage Signing
Monero release transactions are signed offline. Even if the web server is compromised, funds cannot be stolen.
Live Order Tracking
Watch your swap progress in real time with step‑by‑step status updates. No need to refresh—the page polls automatically.
Transparent Fees
A single, flat service fee is applied. No hidden costs. The exact XMR amount you'll receive is shown before you commit.
