About Beam
A Mimblewimble-based privacy coin with confidential transactions and Lelantus-MW shielded pools.
A Mimblewimble alternative to Monero. Swap in or out of BEAM without ID.
Beam is private by default — amounts and addresses are not visible on a block explorer. This is the strongest on-chain privacy posture available; the operational privacy you get still depends on wallet hygiene and network metadata.
How to swap Beam (BEAM) without KYC
- Hold BEAM in a self-custody wallet compatible with Beam. If you are pulling it out of a centralised exchange, withdraw to your own wallet first and let the transaction settle — do not deposit straight from the exchange to a swap address, which creates a forensic link between your KYC identity and whatever you swap into.
- Open the widget above. BEAM is already selected as the send asset. Pick the destination asset, type your amount.
- Paste the destination wallet address for the asset you want to receive. Pick float-rate for the tightest spread, or fixed-rate to lock the quote for ten minutes.
- Send the quoted BEAM to the single-use deposit address. We retire that address after settlement so it is never reused across orders. End-to-end median time: ~8 minutes.
Why swap BEAM on SwapNoKYC?
- No account, no email, no identity. Every order is atomic and independent — nothing to sign up for because there is nothing to protect.
- Non-custodial routing. Funds transit; they never rest. The deposit address is single-use and retired after settlement.
- Aggregated, fee-included quotes. The rate in the widget already nets out our platform fee. What you see is what you receive.
- Float or fixed rate. Float follows the live market — cheaper, less predictable. Fixed locks for ten minutes — predictable, slightly wider spread.
- Zero third-party trackers. No analytics, no ad pixels, no fingerprinting. The privacy policy enumerates exactly what we store and for how long.
- Refund-first flagging policy. On the rare occasion the upstream router flags an order, our policy is refund — never a request for identity.
Privacy notes for BEAM
- Address hygiene. Beam transactions are visible to anyone with a block explorer. Use a fresh receive address per swap and avoid merging clean and dirty inputs in a single outbound transaction.
- Source matters. A direct withdrawal from a KYC'd exchange to a swap deposit address binds your verified identity to the destination asset. Withdraw to your own wallet first; let the transaction settle for at least a few blocks; then initiate the swap.
- Wallet choice. Prefer a wallet you control end-to-end (Sparrow, Electrum, Wasabi, Cake, Feather, MetaMask plus a hardware signer, etc.) over a hosted wallet. Hosted wallets often share metadata with their providers.
- Breaking the on-chain graph. If your threat model requires it, a BEAM → XMR → target chain breaks the deterministic forensic trail. Two hops are better than one; three are better than two.
- Network metadata. Browser fingerprint, IP, and timing data are visible to anyone in the path between you and the swap service. Tor or a trusted VPN closes that surface.

The most common BEAM routes on our platform are BEAM → BTC, BEAM → USDT, and BEAM → XMR. Reverse direction is supported identically.
Frequently misunderstood about BEAM
- "No-KYC" is not "no-rules". SwapNoKYC is a non-custodial routing layer; we do not perform identity checks and do not require an account. Local law in your jurisdiction still applies to your activity.
- Self-custody is a prerequisite, not a feature. A swap is only as private as the wallet at each end. Hosted wallets, exchange custody, or web-wallets that phone home undermine the boundary.
- Rate-shopping has diminishing returns on small orders. The aggregated quote on the widget is competitive with any major non-custodial peer; the difference between providers on a typical order is usually within 20–60 basis points.
