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.
A Standard swap is a single conversion: your deposit and the payout are linked by the exchange’s internal flow. Private Swap inserts extra legs, so an observer cannot trivially pair the input transaction with the output transaction.
It is not a mixer and not a legal anonymity guarantee: the exchange partners still see their own leg, and network fees apply per hop. It usually takes 15–45 minutes.
On Swap.bz
Select “Private · 1%” in the widget before quoting. Best used for swaps where wallet unlinkability matters more than speed.

Unlinkability
Unlinkability means an observer cannot connect two on-chain events — for example your deposit and your payout — to the same person.
Monero (XMR)
Monero is a cryptocurrency with privacy by default: ring signatures, stealth addresses and confidential amounts hide sender, receiver and value.
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.
Multi-hop routing
Multi-hop routing splits a swap into several successive conversions across assets or venues instead of one direct trade.
