You can always shield (anonymize) your crypto by depositing it in your Incognito account. But if you bought it somewhere else, there’s likely a record of it.
Buying crypto anonymously
If you want to buy crypto anonymously, use the Incognito DEX. With transaction fees lower than nearly any other popular blockchain, and totally decentralized confidential trading, it’s never been this affordable or safe to buy BTC, ETH, XMR, etc. privately.
Let’s open up your Incognito app.
Don’t have the app yet? No problem, use one of these convenient links:
Buy BTC, ETH, etc. anonymously
You can trade anonymously for any supported crypto with liquidity. The exchange rate depends on the liquidity of the pair you trade, so pay special attention to how much of your desired currency you’re quoted to receive.
Tap “Trade”
Tap “Trade” from the home screen.
Choose your assets
In the top section, select XMR, and enter the amount you want to trade. In the bottom, select the coin you want to receive. For demonstration, we’ll do PRV.
Check amounts and the fee, then confirm
Wait for the transaction to process
Wait for the transaction to process, then go about business as usual. In a few minutes, your new coins will show up in your account!
You’ve now successfully purchased crypto anonymously. Way to take your privacy back!
Once you’ve completed those steps, you can send your crypto anonymously anywhere in the Incognito network, or unshield them by sending them to another wallet. You can even trade them again, to anonymously buy other crypto. The possibilities are endless!
