Never KYC — questions

What does "Never KYC" mean for an exchange?

The service never asks for identity - no ID, no email, no account (KYC level 0). In practice these are non-custodial peer-to-peer exchanges where you trade directly with another person and the software never holds your funds or your identity.

Are no-KYC exchanges safe?

Custody and reliability vary. A no-KYC exchange protects your identity, but you must still weigh how funds are escrowed, whether the code is audited, and the platform’s incident history - which is exactly what each dossier scores.
