Mixer (tumbler)
A mixer pools coins from many users and returns different coins of equal value, obscuring the trail; it is legally risky and often sanctioned.
Mixers keep you in the same asset and rely on a pool. Several have been sanctioned or shut down, and funds that touched them are routinely flagged by AML tools — which can freeze later swaps.
On Swap.bz
Swap.bz is not a mixer and Private Swap does not pool funds. Deposits linked to sanctioned mixers may be flagged by liquidity partners like everywhere else.

Private Swap
Private Swap is Swap.bz’s optional 1% mode that routes a swap through additional hops — often via Monero — to break the direct on-chain link between the deposit and the receive wallet.
AML (Anti-Money Laundering)
AML screening is the automated analysis of a deposit’s on-chain history to detect links to sanctioned addresses, hacks, mixers or other high-risk sources.
Frozen funds / held order
A held order is a deposit paused by a liquidity provider’s AML screening pending review, verification or refund.
