Overview
A private route may reduce an obvious connection between a sending wallet and received assets where supported. It does not make activity anonymous, invisible, or impossible to track.
How to Use a Private Route
Understand privacy-focused routing, its limits, and the checks to complete before depositing.
What you need to know
Step by step
1. Check whether private routing is available for the selected assets and networks. 2. Review the expected amount, fees, estimated timing, destination address, and route requirements. 3. Use the active deposit details and confirm the SQUATCH Guard checks before sending. 4. Keep the receipt and avoid publishing route details that you do not need to share.
Safety warning
Public blockchains can still expose addresses, amounts, timing, token movements, and contract interactions. Treat private routing as exposure reduction, not a guarantee of anonymity.
Common mistakes
Assuming private means untraceable; Reusing an unverified destination address; Sharing a transaction receipt publicly.
