It states that it never holds funds: the deposit goes to the named protocol, which holds it while the swap settles (validator-run threshold-signature vaults on Chainflip, a deposit service on NEAR Intents, a Flashnet deposit address), and the site itself describes that window as the main counterparty risk and says Flashnet publishes little detail about its custody model. No account, email or identity document is requested by TorrentSwap, but its terms say applicable checks may vary by route, transaction, jurisdiction or risk signals, and its pages say the protocols screen deposits, for example against sanctions lists, and can refuse or refund a swap. Swap details are also shared with an unnamed routing infrastructure provider. No company name or jurisdiction is published; the terms refer only to the jurisdiction in which TorrentSwap is established. ## What the terms say about ID Terms section 2 says checks can vary by route, transaction, jurisdiction or risk signals, and the executing protocols apply their own compliance screening and can refuse or refund a flagged swap; no page read mentions identity documents being requested. ## Features and warnings - **Identity:** ID never required: no; No account needed: yes; No email needed: yes; No phone number: yes - **Payment:** Accepts Monero: not stated; Accepts Lightning: not stated - **Access:** Tor onion address: not stated; Works without JavaScript: not stated - **Trust:** Never holds your funds: not stated; Own liquidity: no; Refund without ID: not stated; Independent audit: not stated; Company named: no; 5+ years operating: not stated - **Warnings:** May ask for ID: yes; Screens deposits: yes; Passes orders to partners: yes; Holds your funds: not in terms; Email required: not in terms; Phone number required: not in terms; Nobody accountable: yes ## Questions ### Does TorrentSwap require KYC?
