Is Trocador safe to connect?
Swap service ยท Swap aggregator that routes each swap to a third-party instant exchange (Monero-focused; also prepaid and gift cards). Checked 2026-10-25; every line links its source.
Worst case: Trocador never holds your coins, but the partner exchange you choose does during the swap: if that exchange's AML check flags them it can hold them pending KYC, and Trocador's guarantee excludes AML-flagged and legal-order cases.
Safe setup in 3 steps
- Before confirming, check each partner's KYC rating and protected amount, and read that partner's terms
- Test with a small amount first and only swap funds whose origin you can document
- Save the Trocador transaction ID and the partner's order ID; Trocador Guarantee claims must be filed within 10 days
What it can do with your money
| Who holds the keys | The exchange holds your funds Trocador says it never takes custody 'even for a second'. You send coins to a deposit address of the partner exchange you picked, and that exchange holds them until it completes or refunds the swap. source |
|---|---|
| Can funds be sent out to any address? | Not applicable (no stored balance); the partner exchange sends the output or a refund. source |
| Can it hold or freeze your funds? | Trocador Terms: partner exchanges 'always check incoming transactions' under their AML policies and 'may sometimes require users to perform a KYC check'; some partners require KYC and some don't, and Trocador shows a privacy rating per exchange. OFAC-sanctioned addresses are refused automatically; the service is not for US or EEA residents or sanctioned jurisdictions. Trocador Guarantee: if the partner neither completes nor refunds the swap and can't show high AML risk or a liquidity-provider AML block, Trocador reimburses up to the protected amount shown at creation. Claims must be filed by email or Telegram within 10 days of the Trocador transaction ID. The guarantee excludes D-rated exchanges, swaps halted by police or legal order, and (per the FAQ) mixer-origin funds, and covers only one swap at a time. No hold durations are stated. source |
| Monero and Zcash | XMR: swap supported via partner exchanges (Monero is the default coin in the swap form) Regions: Terms exclude US and EEA residents and UN/OFAC-sanctioned jurisdictions source |
