Crypto Assets: XMR, BTC

XMR and BTC roles in settlement. Educational summary — not financial advice. Params reviewed .

Monero (XMR) — default

Monero is the default settlement asset because privacy is protocol-level: ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential amounts obscure sender, receiver, and value on-chain. Standard practice is one subaddress per order, confirmation-gated release, and no address reuse across sessions. Researchers can verify Monero fundamentals at getmonero.org.

Bitcoin (BTC) — Multi-Sig fallback

Bitcoin is supported strictly inside Multi-Sig escrow for compatibility. Hygiene is mandatory: fresh address per settlement, no reuse, no consolidation of escrow change into personal wallets, and on-chain confirmation before any release signature. Tor-only broadcast is assumed throughout.
