[Legal](#legal) --- ## About GhostSwap {#about-ghostswap} GhostSwap is a privacy-focused crypto swap platform for users who value simplicity and control over their own wallets. The platform has operated since October 2024. We facilitate instant cryptocurrency swaps without requiring: - Account registration - Email verification - KYC documents or identity verification - Ongoing user profiles or logins **KYC:** none. GhostSwap is a no-KYC crypto exchange: there is no account, and we never ask for your name, email, phone number or identity documents to start a swap. **Security:** GhostSwap has never been hacked. It holds no user balances; every swap pays out directly to the user's own address. GhostSwap holds no user balances; coins are paid straight to your own address. Deposits route directly through liquidity providers, and your swapped crypto goes straight to your destination wallet. No middleman, no custodial accounts, no stored balances. ### Our Philosophy We believe that: - Financial privacy is a fundamental right - Cryptocurrency should be accessible without unnecessary barriers - Users should control their own funds at all times - "Simple" and "secure" are not in opposition: they reinforce each other ### What Makes Us Different | Feature | GhostSwap | Traditional Exchanges | |---------|-----------|----------------------| | KYC Required | ❌ No | ✅ Yes (mandatory) | | Account Needed | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | | Email Required | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | | User balances held | None: coins are paid straight to your own address | Yes (exchange accounts) | | Typical Swap Time | Minutes (depends on the deposit network) | Hours to days | | Privacy Default | High | Low | | Supported Coins | 1,600+ | Varies (often <100) | | Cross-Chain | ✅ 4,000+ pairs | Limited | | API Access | ✅ Public | Often restricted | --- ## How It Works {#how-it-works} ### Step-by-Step Process **Step 1: Select Your Currencies** Choose the cryptocurrency you want to send (e.g., Bitcoin) and the cryptocurrency you want to receive (e.g., Ethereum). All 1,600+ supported coins are searchable from the homepage swap widget. **Step 2: Enter Amount** Input how much you want to exchange. Our system instantly calculates the amount you'll receive based on current market rates sourced through our liquidity provider. **Step 3: Provide Destination Address** Enter your wallet address where you want to receive the swapped cryptocurrency. **Double-check this address: blockchain transactions are irreversible.** **Step 4: Confirm Exchange** Click "Exchange" to create your swap order. You'll receive a unique deposit address and transaction ID. Save the transaction ID for tracking. **Step 5: Send Deposit** Send your cryptocurrency to the provided deposit address. You can also scan the QR code for convenience. Most wallets support copy-paste of the deposit address directly. **Step 6: Receive Your Crypto** Once your deposit is confirmed on the blockchain, your swapped cryptocurrency is automatically routed to your destination wallet. ### Private Send Private Send (https://ghostswap.io/private-send/) pays someone in BTC, USDT or any of 1,600+ coins without them seeing your wallet, balance or history. You pay a one-time address; the recipient is paid from a separate payout address. Choose a fixed rate to lock the exact amount the recipient gets, or a floating rate. No account or ID; pay with Monero (XMR) for the most privacy.

The displayed quote includes: - The underlying market rate from the best-available liquidity source - Network/blockchain fees (passed through transparently) - A small service fee built into the rate (no hidden charges added at the end) GhostSwap uses a **floating rate**: the quote follows the market until your deposit is confirmed, then the payout is calculated from the amount that actually arrives. Private Send (https://ghostswap.io/private-send/) also offers a fixed rate: you enter the exact amount the recipient should get, and if your deposit arrives in time and matches the amount shown, they receive exactly that amount. A late or different deposit is handled by support (the locked rate where possible, otherwise a refund). The exchange box shows the estimated amount you receive, the network fee and the minimum and maximum for the pair before you send. ### Network Fees Network/blockchain fees vary by: - The source coin's network (e.g., BTC mempool conditions, ETH gas prices) - Network congestion at the time of swap - Confirmation time targets These are pass-through fees: they go to miners/validators, not to GhostSwap. ### No Hidden Fees GhostSwap does NOT charge: - Account creation or maintenance fees (no accounts exist) - Withdrawal fees beyond network costs - Inactivity fees - Subscription or membership fees - Custody/storage fees --- ## Transaction Processing {#transaction-processing} ### What Happens Behind the Scenes 1. User submits swap request via the widget at https://ghostswap.io/exchange/{from}-{to}/ 2. Our liquidity provider sources the best available rate across multiple market makers 3. A unique deposit address is generated for the user's source coin 4. User sends source coin to the deposit address 5. Once the source-coin transaction is confirmed, the routing engine releases the destination coin to the user's specified destination address 6. Transaction state is tracked at https://ghostswap.io/txs/?id={transaction_id} ### Tracking a Swap After initiating a swap, users receive a unique **transaction ID** (also referred to as order ID). Status can be checked at any time via: `https://ghostswap.io/txs/?id=YOUR_TRANSACTION_ID` The tracking page shows: - Current status (Awaiting Deposit / Confirming / Exchanging / Sending / Completed) - Source-coin transaction hash (once received) - Destination-coin transaction hash (once sent) - Estimated remaining time (if still in progress) --- ## Security {#security} ### Architecture - **No user balances:** GhostSwap holds no user balances; coins are paid straight to your own address. Funds move from the user's source wallet → liquidity provider → user's destination wallet. - **No persistent user accounts:** there are no accounts to hack, leak, or compromise. - **No account data:** no email, name, phone number or ID is requested to swap. - **Encrypted communications:** all traffic to ghostswap.io is HTTPS/TLS. - **Distributed liquidity:** smart routing across multiple providers reduces single-point-of-failure risk. ### Phishing Protection Users should: - Always verify they're on the official `https://ghostswap.io` domain (check the address bar) - Never enter wallet seed phrases, private keys, or hardware-wallet passphrases on any swap site; GhostSwap will never ask for them - Cross-reference any link against the verified social profiles listed at the bottom of this document --- ## Frequently Asked Questions {#faq} ### Is GhostSwap legitimate? Yes. GhostSwap has operated since October 2024. Independent reviews from established crypto publications (Coinspeaker, 99bitcoins, ICObench, NFTPlazas, Cryptonews) describe the platform as a no-account swap service that holds no user balances. ### Do I need KYC to use GhostSwap? No. GhostSwap is no-KYC. You don't need an account, email, ID, or any personal information to swap. Pick the two coins, paste the address that should receive the coins, and send the deposit from your own wallet. No wallet connection is needed. ### Does GhostSwap hold my funds? No. GhostSwap holds no user balances; coins are paid straight to your own address. Funds move directly between wallets through automated systems. ### How long does a swap take? Most swaps finish within minutes; the time depends mainly on the deposit network's confirmations (for example about 5–15 minutes for Solana or Tron deposits, 10–25 for Ethereum and about 20–60 for Bitcoin or Monero). See the "Typical Processing Times" table in this document for per-coin estimates. ### How many cryptocurrencies are supported? 1,600+ cryptocurrencies across 4,000+ cross-chain swap pairs. ### What's the minimum / maximum swap amount? Every pair has a minimum and a maximum amount. Both are shown live in the exchange box before you send. ### Does GhostSwap support Monero (XMR) swaps? Yes. GhostSwap supports BTC↔XMR, ETH↔XMR, USDT↔XMR, SOL↔XMR and many more Monero pairs with no account, no email and no ID. Hub with times and minimums: https://ghostswap.io/monero-exchange/ ### Is there a Telegram bot? Yes. The official Telegram bot is at [@ghostswap_crypto_bot](https://t.me/ghostswap_crypto_bot). The official channel is at [@ghostswapchannel](https://t.me/ghostswapchannel). ### Is there a public API? Yes. A public quote endpoint needs no key (https://partners-api.ghostswap.io/v1/public/quote, OpenAPI at https://partners-api.ghostswap.io/openapi.json). Partners get the full REST API for pairs, swaps and status plus an embeddable widget: https://partners.ghostswap.io/docs. There is also an MCP server for AI agents (see https://ghostswap.io/.well-known/ai-catalog.json). ### What happens if I send my crypto to the wrong address? Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Always **double-check** the destination address before sending. If you accidentally enter a wrong address that you don't control, the funds are typically not recoverable. ### What happens if my swap gets stuck? Contact support@ghostswap.io with your **order ID** and **transaction hash**. Most "stuck" swaps are resolved when the source coin gets enough blockchain confirmations. Genuine issues are addressed by support. ### Does GhostSwap work in my country? GhostSwap operates globally, with the exception of jurisdictions where applicable law prohibits the service. Users are responsible for compliance with their own local regulations. ### How does GhostSwap make money if there are no fees on the surface? A small service fee is built into the displayed quote rate (no hidden charges added at the end). The service fee is already included in the quote. Rates are floating, so the final amount is set from the deposit that arrives and can differ slightly from the estimate. ### Can I use GhostSwap from a hardware wallet (Ledger / Trezor)? Yes. GhostSwap holds no user balances, so it works with any wallet that holds the source coin and provides a destination address, including hardware wallets. The deposit address is provided in the swap widget; users initiate the source-coin transaction from their wallet of choice. --- ## Structured Data & Schema {#structured-data} GhostSwap pages emit JSON-LD structured data following Schema.org standards. ### Homepage (https://ghostswap.io/) The homepage `` contains JSON-LD blocks with: - **Organization:** entity name, URL, logo, `sameAs` array of verified social profiles - **WebSite:** site name, search action - **Service:** serviceType "Cryptocurrency Exchange", provider stitched to Organization via `@id`, hasOfferCatalog enumerating swap categories, areaServed Worldwide - **WebPage:** homepage page node - **BreadcrumbList:** site hierarchy - **FAQPage:** frequently asked questions ### /exchange/{from}-{to}/ Pair Pages Each pair page emits: - **Service:** pair-specific service definition with the source/destination coin names + Organization provider - **HowTo:** 5-step guide for executing the swap, with `HowToStep`, `HowToSupply`, `HowToTool` schema - **BreadcrumbList:** Home → Exchange → {From} to {To} - **FAQPage:** pair-specific Q&A - **WebPage:** pair page node with custom title, description, and language ### /how-to-* Blog Posts Each how-to post emits: - **Article:** Yoast-default Article with author, datePublished, etc. - **HowTo:** auto-extracted from "Step N:" headings or first ordered list, with up to 7 `HowToStep` entries ### Validation Models can verify schema integrity via: - [Google Rich Results Test](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results) - [Schema.org Official Validator](https://validator.schema.org/) --- ## Discoverability for Models {#discoverability} Resources for AI tools that want to enumerate or understand the full URL space: - **Sitemap index**: https://ghostswap.io/sitemap_index.xml Covers all pair pages, blog posts, language variants (EN/DE/ES/FR/IT/JA/PT/RU/NL), and static pages. - **robots.txt**: https://ghostswap.io/robots.txt All AI crawlers and assistants are allowed (Content-Signal: search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=yes). - **MCP server (no API key)**: https://mcp.ghostswap.io/mcp (Streamable HTTP; SSE at https://mcp.ghostswap.io/sse).
