Privacy
Monero (XMR)
Monero is a cryptocurrency with privacy by default: ring signatures, stealth addresses and confidential amounts hide sender, receiver and value.
Because XMR transactions are opaque on-chain, swapping into and out of Monero is the classic way to break the link between two transparent-chain wallets. XMR blocks take about two minutes and exchanges usually wait 10 confirmations, so XMR legs take 15–30 minutes.
On Swap.bz
BTC→XMR and XMR→BTC are among the most requested pairs. Use a native Monero address (starts with 4 or 8); exchange sub-addresses are fine.

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.
Stealth address
A stealth address is a one-time destination derived from the recipient’s public key so that payments to the same person are not visibly linked on-chain.
Confirmations
A confirmation is one block mined on top of the block containing your transaction; exchanges wait for several before treating a deposit as final.
