What the blockchain shows
Can the person you pay see your wallet address?
With a normal transfer, yes. Your address is recorded as the sender, and anyone can paste it into a block explorer to see your balance, your income and everyone else you have paid. With Private Send they see a payout address that isn't yours. Here is the same 850 USDT payment both ways.

Paying in Bitcoin
How to pay someone in Bitcoin without revealing your wallet
Paste their Bitcoin address as the recipient wallet, choose the coin you pay with, and send it to the one-time deposit address. They receive BTC from a GhostSwap payout address, so the payment they see doesn't come from your wallet. For the most privacy, pay with Monero (XMR to BTC): your side of the payment then happens on Monero's private chain.

Good to know
What Private Send does not hide
It removes the direct link between your wallet and the recipient's. On Bitcoin, Ethereum and other public chains, the amount they receive and the time it arrives are still public.
For the most private payments, pay with Monero, send from a wallet you control, and ask the recipient for a fresh receiving address.

FAQ
Private Send questions
What is Private Send?
Private Send lets you pay someone in crypto without sending from your own wallet straight to theirs. You send to a one-time deposit address, the swap runs, and the recipient is paid from a separate payout address. On the blockchain there is no direct transaction between your wallet and theirs.
What are anonymous crypto payment methods?
They are ways to pay in crypto without the person you pay seeing your own wallet. The common ones are a separate spending wallet you top up, paying in Monero (XMR), or a service like Private Send that pays the recipient from a separate payout address. The table above compares them.
Will the person I pay see my wallet address?
Not with Private Send. They see a payout address that is not yours. With a normal transfer, yes: your address is recorded as the sender, and anyone can look it up on a block explorer.
How do I pay someone in crypto without showing my wallet?
Use Private Send. Pick the coin you pay with and the coin they want, paste their wallet address, then send your deposit to the one-time address GhostSwap shows. They are paid from a separate payout address, so your wallet never appears in their transaction.
Can someone see my wallet balance if I send them crypto?
With a normal transfer, yes. Your address is recorded as the sender, and anyone can paste it into a block explorer to see your balance and past transactions. With Private Send they only see a payout address that is not yours.
Which setup gives the most privacy?
Paying with Monero (XMR). Monero hides the sender, the amount and the receiving address on its own chain, so there is no public trail on your side. The recipient then gets BTC, ETH, USDT or another coin at their address.
How long does a Private Send take?
Most payments arrive in 5 to 30 minutes, depending on how fast your coin's network confirms the deposit. You can follow every step on the status page with your swap ID.
What if the payment fails?
If the swap cannot be completed, your coins go back to the refund address you entered, so always use the address of the wallet you pay from.
Is sending crypto traceable?
On Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron and other public chains, yes: every payment records the sending and receiving address, and anyone can follow them in a block explorer. With Private Send the recipient is paid from a payout address, so there is no direct transaction between your wallet and theirs. Monero is the exception among large coins: it hides the sender, receiver and amount, so paying with XMR leaves no public trail on your side.
How do I send crypto without ID?
Send from a wallet you control through a service that needs no account. Private Send needs no account, email or ID: enter the recipient's address and your refund address, send the deposit, and follow the payment with your swap ID.
What is the safest way to send Bitcoin to someone?
Check the address character by character, send a small test first for large amounts, and do not send from the wallet that holds your savings. If you don't want them to see your balance, pay through Private Send so they receive BTC from a separate payout address.
Can I send Bitcoin to someone without them seeing my wallet?
Yes. Choose BTC under "They receive", paste their address and pay with any coin you hold. They receive bitcoin from a payout address, not from your wallet. Paying with XMR keeps your side of the payment off public chains too.
How do I pay someone in USDT privately?
Choose USDT (for example USDT on Tron) under "They receive", paste their address and pay with XMR, BTC or another coin. They receive USDT from a payout address, so your wallet never appears in their transaction.
