What is Anon Mode?

The anonymizing status from the Wen Swap bot

Anon Mode is a privacy-enhancing feature that helps protect your on-chain identity by obfuscating transaction paths.

How It Works

When Anon Mode is enabled, your swap is automatically routed through multiple exchanges and chains, making it significantly more difficult for blockchain analysts to trace the origin of funds.

Instead of a direct A → B swap, Anon Mode creates:

1. First hop: Source → Intermediate chain

2. Second hop: Intermediate chain → Destination

By using different exchanges and chains for each hop, Anon Mode breaks the direct link between source and destination wallets.

Use Cases

Same-Chain Privacy

Perfect for same-chain swaps (e.g., SOL → SOL):

• Traditional swap: Funds flow directly through one exchange hot wallet

• Anon Mode: Funds take an indirect path through different chains and exchanges

Cross-Chain Privacy

When swapping between different chains (e.g., SOL → BTC):

• Traditional swap: Clear, traceable path through a single exchange

• Anon Mode: Path obscured through multiple exchanges and an intermediate chain

While Anon Mode significantly increases privacy, no blockchain transaction is completely untraceable. Always follow applicable regulations and laws in your jurisdiction.

Benefits

• Multi-exchange routing

• Chain-hopping technology

• Automated path selection

• No additional user steps required

Anon Mode fees will always be higher than non-anon mode due to multiple orders being created and processed.
