FAQ

Is Redacted a mixer?

No. Redacted is a private DeFi execution layer — not a one-way mixer. You deposit, interact with applications privately, and withdraw. Withdrawals are compliance-linked to your deposit address, deposits are screened against OFAC lists, and users can generate Proofs of Innocence.

Can anyone see my trades?

Your trades execute from your Spendable account, which cannot be linked to your public wallet. The trade itself is visible on-chain (as all THORChain swaps are), but no observer can connect it to your identity.

What if the pool is small?

Privacy is stronger with more users. If the pool has low activity, the anonymity set is smaller. The best practice is to wait in Reserve for your privacy set to grow.

Do I need RUNE?

Only for swaps. The Gas Tank requires RUNE (~0.02 per swap) to pay for transactions that route through THORChain's base layer. Other actions within Redacted — deposits, moving to Spendable, moving to Reserve — are gasless.

Is Redacted custodial?

No. You always maintain full control of your funds. Every operation is authorized by a zero-knowledge proof that only you can generate.

How is this different from Tornado Cash?

Redacted is not a mixer. It's a full DeFi execution layer with privacy built in. You can trade, borrow, LP, bid on liquidations, and use automated strategies — all privately. Redacted is compliance-first with OFAC screening, Proof of Innocence, origin-verified withdrawals, and optional audit keys.

What chains does Redacted support?

Redacted's base is on Rujira (THORChain's app layer), giving native access to BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, AVAX, ATOM, and all THORChain-supported assets. Multichain outposts are planned to expand coverage further.

How do I earn from Redacted?

Two ways: Hold $RED to earn 50% of all protocol fees, or hold a Ronin NFT to earn the other 50%. Both receive revenue distributions from every interaction on the platform — whether it comes from the Redacted Interface or B2B integrations.

Will there still be a Redacted app/interface?

Yes, always. The Redacted Interface is our own frontend for maximum privacy and full decentralization — no compromises. In addition, we're integrating Redacted's privacy layer into existing protocols and wallets via B2B partnerships, so users can access privacy wherever they already are. Both paths generate revenue for $RED stakers and Ronin holders.
