Crypto Anonymity 2026: The Ultimate Guide 🕵️♂️
The "Transparent Blockchain" Problem
BTC and ETH are not anonymous. Once you link a wallet to a KYC exchange (Coinbase, Binance), your entire history is doxxed.
Tools
1. Monero (XMR)
The King of privacy. Ring Signatures make transactions untraceable.
Flow: BTC (KYC) -> Swap -> XMR -> Swap -> BTC (Clean).
2. Mixers
- Tornado Cash: Breaking links on ETH chain.
- Risk: Centralized exchanges often block "tainted" coins from mixers.
3. DEX
Uniswap. No KYC. Always use VPN when interacting with DEX UI.
Hardware Wallets
Ledger/Trezor. Never store life savings on Metamask/Exchange.
Conclusion
True privacy requires Monero and OpSec discipline.
