Terms
Last updated: May 3, 2026
0trace is an instant cryptocurrency exchange service. These Terms describe what the service does, what it does not do, and what the user accepts by using it.
1.The service
0trace converts one cryptocurrency into another. The user creates an order, sends a deposit to the address shown on the order page, and receives a payout to the destination address they provided.
There are no accounts. There is no registration, login, password, or persistent profile. Every order is identified solely by its order ID — that is the only key the user needs to access the order, the encrypted chat tied to it, and the signed Guarantee or Receipt documents.
2.No KYC
0trace does not perform Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. The user is never asked to submit a passport, ID card, driver license, selfie, proof of address, or any identity document. There is no questionnaire about source of funds, employment, residence, or political exposure. There is no document upload form anywhere in the service.
3.No AML on the user
0trace will never request Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) documentation from the user.The team will not ask for invoices, contracts, screenshots, conversation logs, or any explanation of where the user’s deposit came from.
AML screening is performed by 0trace on its own payout liquidity — our funds, not yours — so that what the user receives is clean. It is not a screening of the user.
4.Data and retention
0trace stores only the data required to execute an order. There are no analytics, third-party trackers, advertising integrations, or behavioral profiles on the service.
Order data — destination address, deposit address, amounts, status — is permanently deleted 72 hours after the order reaches a final state (completed, expired, or canceled). The user can delete a finalized order earlier from the order page itself.
In-app chat messages are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and are removed after 24 hours of inactivity. The user can delete the entire conversation at any time. The chat session token lives only as an HttpOnlycookie on the user’s device.
0trace does not store IP addresses tied to order data, does not log user-agent strings against orders, and does not retain access logs beyond what is required for short-term operational debugging.
5.Pricing
The amount shown in the Receive field on the order page already includes the service fee and the network fee. There are no withdrawal fees, hidden surcharges, or post-quote spread adjustments.
Two rate types are offered:
- FIXED. The rate is locked at order creation and stays valid for the order lifetime.
- FLOAT. The rate is recalculated at payout time using the live market rate.
The service fee percentage that applies to an order is recorded at the moment the order is created and is shown in the order summary.
6.Execution
Orders are settled either by direct on-chain payout from 0trace’s own liquidity, or by routing through integrated DEX liquidity, depending on the asset pair, network conditions, and available depth. The execution path is chosen automatically.
The user’s incoming deposit and outgoing payout are not linked on-chain. After the exchange completes, the connection between the user’s original coins and the payout coins is severed.
The service is in active development. Per-transaction caps may apply, and individual asset routes may be temporarily disabled while we expand coverage.
7.Minimum and recalculation
The minimum order size is 1 USD equivalent at order creation.
If the user sends a different amount than originally quoted, the system recalculates the payout automatically based on the amount actually received, provided the deposit is still above the 1 USD floor. The user does not need to contact support in this case.
If the deposit is below the floor, it is treated as dust: the order is paused and the user can either delete it or contact the chat operator for case review.
8.The order ID
The order ID is the only credential. There is no recovery. If the user loses both the order ID and the browser session in which the order was opened, the order cannot be retrieved by the team.
For long-running orders or large amounts, the user is advised to save the order ID and the signed Guarantee document immediately after order creation.
9.Wrong network, wrong address, late deposits
Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible. Sending a deposit:
- on the wrong blockchain network,
- to an address that no longer corresponds to an active order,
- after the order has expired,
cannot be unwound by 0trace. The team will review individual cases through the encrypted chat but cannot guarantee recovery and may decline to process a deposit that was sent against expired or invalid order parameters.
The destination address the user provides at order creation cannot be changed afterwards. The user is responsible for verifying it before submitting the order.
10.Tor mirror
0trace operates a Tor v3 hidden-service mirror at:
http://n55kxqrra37apxjlqirvgxcodeq7q5vp7kez6d2cngeo2ksfo6yzn5qd.onion/
The mirror serves the same application as the clearnet site. Tor traffic does not pass through admin perimeter routes. The QuickNode webhook endpoint is clearnet-only by design.
11.Verification documents
Every order issues two signed documents:
- a Guarantee at order creation, fixing the deposit address and quoted parameters,
- a Receipt at completion, fixing the executed amounts and payout transaction.
Both can be verified at:
https://0trace.io/verify
Verification runs locally in the user’s browser. The document is not uploaded anywhere. If the signature is valid, 0trace stands by the contents of the document.
12.Prohibited use
The service may decline to process or finalize an order if the deposit is associated with verified illicit activity (sanctioned addresses, blocked wallets, confirmed fraud) or if the destination address is on a sanctioned list.
This screening applies to addresses, not to user identity, and is not a KYC step.
13.Disclaimer
The service is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. 0trace makes no guarantee of uptime, continuous service, or completion within a fixed time window. Network conditions, exchange-rate volatility, and asset-pair liquidity can affect execution.
Nothing on this site is investment, legal, or tax advice. The user is responsible for compliance with the laws of their own jurisdiction. Where the use of cryptocurrency exchange services is restricted by local law, the user — not 0trace — is responsible for that compliance.
14.Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, 0trace’s liability for any loss is limited to the value of the deposit related to the specific order in dispute. 0trace is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including loss of opportunity, lost profit, or value changes between the time of deposit and the time of payout.
15.Changes
These Terms may be updated. The current version is always available at https://0trace.io/terms(and on the Tor mirror). The “Last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
16.Contact
Encrypted in-app chat is available on every order page. For other channels — Jabber, SimpleX, Twitter, email — see the contact links in the site footer.
Public announcements from 0trace (security advisories, key rotations, listing acknowledgments) are signed with a PGP key. The fingerprint, full public key, and verification instructions are published at:
