What StereoSwap is
StereoSwap is an instant swap service with no accounts or KYC. It offers a standard mode; an Oblivion mode in which swap data is wiped 15 minutes after completion; and a Private swap that routes the exchange through Monero in two stages using different liquidity sources. A server-rendered no-JavaScript version is available, and the FAQ says a .onion mirror exists. Its AML policy says every incoming transaction is screened with internal and third-party blockchain risk tools, and critically high-risk deposits may be returned to the refund address; it lists the identity documents it does not request "for ordinary use". The operator is described only as an independent team. Optional sign-up exists but is not needed to swap.
