What is Trocador?
Trocador is an exchange aggregator with a strong focus on privacy. The team behind Trocador believes that cryptocurrencies can be a powerful tool against government overreach, censorship, and tyranny. They also believe that cryptocurrencies can promote decentralization and liberty, leading to a more prosperous and free world.
Trocador offers a service that helps users find the most favorable rates by connecting to trusted instant exchanges at no additional cost. The platform does not intervene in the transaction process and does not have access to the user’s funds.
How does Trocador work?
Trocador is a privacy-focused exchange aggregator that seeks out the best possible rates from partner exchanges when you enter the desired transaction. This eliminates the need for you to create an account on a centralized exchange or disclose personal information. To exchange coins anonymously, you send the chosen amount to the exchange’s address, and the trade is completed, with the coins delivered directly to your chosen address. This method is secure, fast, and protects your privacy, avoiding the hassles and privacy risks associated with centralized exchanges.
Trocador provides software that enables users to choose and directly trade with exchanges, without Trocador accessing, receiving, or transferring any funds. As a result, Trocador does not meet the definition of a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) as specified by FATF. Read more about Trocador here.
