Monero hides your transaction data on the blockchain. Tor hides your network traffic from your ISP, government, and anyone monitoring your internet connection. Together, they address two different layers of the privacy stack:
Using Monero without Tor still leaks your IP address to whatever node you connect to. Using Tor without Monero still exposes your transaction to blockchain analysis. Together, the combination is extremely powerful.
💡 Who is this for? Journalists, activists in restrictive countries, privacy advocates, and anyone who wants to ensure their financial activity can't be linked to their physical location or IP address.

Both support native Tor integration. Feather Wallet has a built-in Tor toggle — enable it in Settings → Tor. Cake Wallet supports Orbot (the Android Tor app).
In Feather Wallet, enable Tor and connect to a .onion Monero node. This means even your node never sees your real IP. A list of trusted .onion nodes is maintained by the Monero community.
Open Tor Browser and visit superswap.cx. Your IP is now masked from the swap service. Enter your XMR subaddress as the receiving address.
When you broadcast your sending transaction, it goes through Tor — so the network can't link your IP to the transaction broadcast.

Even with Tor, best practice is to use a unique subaddress for each incoming transaction. In Feather Wallet or Cake Wallet:
Subaddresses start with '8' and are cryptographically unlinkable from each other, even by someone with your view key. Each transaction appears to go to a completely different address.
⚠️ Don't mix privacy layers carelessly: The most common mistake is setting up Tor + Monero carefully, then accidentally broadcasting a transaction from a non-Tor connection. Make sure your wallet has Tor active before you initiate any transaction.
For maximum anonymity when swapping crypto into Monero:
This combination means: no IP logged at the swap service, no sender/recipient/amount visible on-chain, no identity attached to the transaction. It's about as close to true financial privacy as is practically achievable in 2026.
No account. No ID. No hassle. Enter your wallet address and swap.
