Verification on NinjaSwap
Understanding NinjaSwap's approach to verification

No KYC Required

NinjaSwap doesn't require formal KYC (Know Your Customer) verification to use our platform. You can exchange cryptocurrencies without providing identity documents, making the process quick and private.

Unlike many cryptocurrency exchanges that require extensive personal information and verification procedures, NinjaSwap is designed to prioritize your privacy while maintaining security. This article explains our verification approach and what you can expect when using our platform.

Our Privacy-First Approach

At NinjaSwap, we believe that cryptocurrency exchanges should be accessible without invasive verification requirements. Our platform operates on the following principles:

  • No mandatory ID verification or document submission
  • No facial recognition requirements
  • No personal information collection beyond what's necessary for account functionality
  • No mandatory residential address verification

What's Required to Use NinjaSwap

For Basic Usage

  • Valid email address (for account creation only)

Wallet Verification

While we don't verify your identity, we do need to verify wallet ownership for security purposes in certain scenarios:

Large Transactions: For unusually large transactions, we may request a small test transaction from the same wallet to verify ownership.

Suspicious Activity: If we detect potentially suspicious activity, we may request wallet verification to protect your assets.

High-Value Address Book Entries: When saving wallet addresses for future use, verification helps prevent typos and unauthorized changes.

Why NinjaSwap Doesn't Require KYC

We've designed our platform to prioritize privacy while still maintaining robust security:

  • Privacy Focused: We believe in the core principles of cryptocurrency - decentralization and privacy.
  • Non-Custodial: We don't hold your funds for extended periods, so the risk is minimized.
  • Security First: We employ advanced security measures like encrypted communications, 2FA, and real-time monitoring.
  • Streamlined Experience: Eliminating KYC means faster exchanges without waiting for document verification.

What We Don't Require

  • Government-issued ID verification
  • Selfie or facial recognition
  • Proof of address documents
  • Phone number verification
  • Full name or date of birth

Important Notes

  • While we don't require KYC, we still maintain strong security measures to protect against fraud and abuse.
  • We comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding suspicious transaction monitoring.
  • Our privacy-first approach doesn't mean we tolerate illegal activities — we have systems in place to detect and prevent misuse.
  • For specific jurisdictions with unique regulatory requirements, additional verification steps might apply.

Security Recommendation

While KYC isn't required, we strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) to enhance your account security. This provides an extra layer of protection without compromising privacy.
