Private Trading Overview
hx.finance offers private trading - a feature that uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable anonymous trading while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Testnet Only: Private trading is currently available only on testnet. Visit testnet.hx.finance (opens in a new tab) to try out these features before they launch on mainnet.
What is Private Trading?
Private trading on hx.finance allows you to:
- Trade anonymously without revealing your wallet address
