Privacy practices on Morphit
Most assets traded on Morphit (BTC, BLURT, USDT, USDC, DAI, BCH, LTC, DASH, DOGE, DCR, SOL, ETH, XRP) live on transparent chains — any observer can read the chain history. Zcash (ZEC) is transparent unless you use its shielded addresses; Pirate Chain (ARRR), like Monero, hides sender, receiver and amount by default. There are concrete steps you can take to make YOUR trades much harder to link, profile, or surveil. This is registry-driven: the next asset we add will get a guide automatically. Beyond individual trades, Morphit also protects privacy at the network level: it can be reached and run entirely over Tor and I2P — a node can even operate with zero clearnet at all — as detailed on the Security page and the instance directory.
- XMRPrivacy by default — stealth addresses, hidden amounts, ring signatures.
- BTCTransparent chain, fully decentralized — opt-in mixing protocols available.
- BLURTCoordination chain — transparent and account-based. Lowest privacy on Morphit.
- USDTCentralized — Tether can freeze any address. Transparent on every chain.
- USDCCentralized — Circle can freeze any address. Transparent on every chain.
- DAIDAI — USD-pegged stablecoin governed by MakerDAO. No admin freeze on the token, but partly backed by USDC.
- BCHTransparent, decentralized — CashFusion provides opt-in mixing.
- LTCTransparent, decentralized — MWEB provides opt-in chain-level privacy.
- DASHTransparent base layer, decentralized — PrivateSend provides masternode-coordinated opt-in mixing.
- DOGETransparent base layer, decentralized via PoW, no native privacy upgrade.
- ZECTransparent and shielded address types coexist; recipients pick per address.
- ARRRChain-level shielded transactions via the Sapling zk-SNARK pool; every transfer hides sender, recipient, and amount by construction.
- DCRHybrid PoW/PoS cryptocurrency with on-chain governance (Politeia) and opt-in CoinShuffle++ (CSPP) wallet-side mixing.
- SOLHigh-throughput Proof-of-Stake cryptocurrency with Proof-of-History sequencing. Transparent base layer; wallet-side address rotation is the primary privacy lever.
- ETHProof-of-Stake cryptocurrency on the Ethereum mainnet. Transparent base layer; wallet-side address rotation is the primary privacy lever.
- XRPFederated Byzantine Agreement cryptocurrency on the XRP Ledger. Transparent base layer; wallet-side address rotation is the primary privacy lever.
Morphit does NOT recommend specific wallet software. Even reputable wallets have been compromised or have had hidden flaws. The privacy techniques here are protocol standards, not endorsements — your wallet, your responsibility.
