LocalMonero
Alternative

What we replace and what we don’t

Be clear about the difference before you start. LocalMonero was a peer-to-peer marketplace: you traded with another person, often for cash or a bank transfer, and the platform held escrow between you. 0trace is not that. We are an instant exchange — you swap one crypto asset for another against our own liquidity, with no counterparty and no fiat rails. If you used LocalMonero to move between Monero and other coins without an account, that is exactly what we do. If you used it to buy XMR with cash or a bank transfer, we cannot replace that, and no instant exchange can. Swapping Monero? See our Monero exchange.

How it works

Pick a pair, send the deposit. No signup, no email.

02

Honest limitations

We do not replace the fiat side of LocalMonero: no cash trades, no bank transfers, no P2P escrow, no ads between users. Swaps are crypto-to-crypto, start at $40, have a per-order ceiling, and a float quote can move with the market until your deposit confirms. 0trace is also a newer service with less track record than the platform you are replacing — we’d rather say that plainly.

Swap Monero without a trace

Instant exchange.
No account needed.

0trace is an instant crypto exchange with a native Monero node — no account, no KYC, no AML documents requested from you.

LocalMonero and its sister platform AgoraDesk announced in May 2024 that they were winding down, stopped accepting new trades shortly after, and closed completely later that year. The team cited the regulatory climate around privacy tooling.
Partly, and it is worth being precise. For swapping Monero against other crypto without an account, yes — that is the same job, done instantly instead of through a counterparty. For buying XMR with cash or a bank transfer, no. We have no fiat rails and no P2P escrow, so that part of LocalMonero we cannot replace.
No. There is no registration on 0trace — no username, no email, no password, no dashboard. You pick a pair, enter the payout address, send your deposit and receive the payout. Nothing to log into means nothing to lock you out of.
No. 0trace only swaps one crypto asset for another. If you need to enter crypto from cash, you have to do that elsewhere first and can then swap into Monero here.
Yes. Monero deposits and payouts go through our own node rather than a third-party aggregator, so the Monero side of a swap does not depend on an external provider seeing your order.
Before you send anything, the order issues a Guarantee: a PGP-signed document that pins the deposit address, the amounts, the rate type and your payout address. After the payout you get a Receipt. Both verify with any OpenPGP tool — run gpg --verify against our published key, or use the verify page on this site. Neither requires you to trust us or contact us.
