The problem with a normal swap # On a public blockchain, a normal swap leaves a straight line from your wallet to the recipient. Anyone can follow it. A private swap breaks that line in the middle.
How the route breaks the trail # 1 Leg 1
You send token A to a one-time deposit address. A non-custodial exchange swaps it into a privacy-focused intermediary asset.
2 The buffer
The intermediary breaks the trail. Private routes also rotate between providers, so repeated swaps don’t keep following the same path.
3 Leg 2
A second, unrelated exchange swaps the intermediary into token B and sends it to your recipient address.
4 No markers
Each leg looks like an ordinary, unrelated transaction. No single transaction shows the sender and receiver together.
A private swap: two unrelated exchanges, and the trail ends in the middle. Private, not invisible
A private swap makes linking sender and receiver significantly harder. Read the
Privacy model for exactly what it does and doesn’t cover.
