A private cross-chain swap in L2Pass Swap is a swap on the L2Pass Private route, which runs on NEAR Intents in a confidential execution environment. It limits what is visible on public blockchains about how your swap is filled. It is not anonymity: your wallet address is still included in requests sent to providers, and the same compliance screening applies as on any other swap. The L2Pass fee for a private swap is up to 0.3% (instead of 0% or 0.2%, not in addition). Like every fee, it is already included in the amount shown in the quote.

What a private swap does and does not do

It does:
  • Execute the swap in a confidential environment instead of a public one.
  • Limit what public blockchains show about how the swap is filled.
  • Work for stablecoins and other assets, including ZEC, BTC and USDT on Tron.
It does not:
  • Make you anonymous. Providers still receive your wallet address.
  • Skip compliance. Swaps are screened under the same AML and sanctions controls.
  • Hide your deposit or your receipt. The transfer to the deposit address and the tokens arriving at your receiving address are normal transactions on their chains.

Things to know

  • Refunds. If a swap cannot complete, your deposit is returned to the refund address; provider and network fees may be deducted. If a provider flags a swap as high risk, it decides whether to complete, refund or hold it, and a refund is not guaranteed.
  • No partial fills. A swap completes in full or does not execute.
  • Legal terms. See the Terms of Service and the Privacy & AML Principles.
