Host a Cryptocurrency Exchange on Tor

Centralized cryptocurrency exchanges have become surveillance chokepoints, requiring government ID, proof of address, and facial recognition before users can trade. This data is frequently leaked in breaches, exposing users to identity theft and targeted attacks. A Tor-hosted exchange offers an alternative:

• User privacy — Traders connect through Tor, hiding their IP address and location from the exchange operator and network observers
• Operator anonymity — The .onion address conceals the exchange's server location and operator identity
• Censorship resistance — Governments cannot block access to a .onion exchange using DNS or IP filtering
• Financial sovereignty — Users trade crypto-to-crypto without surrendering personal documents

Privacy-focused exchanges serve a legitimate market of users who want to exercise their financial privacy rights without compromising on security.

Running a cryptocurrency exchange demands robust infrastructure. AnubizHost provides Tor hosting with the resources needed for exchange operations:

• High-availability servers — NVMe SSD storage with dedicated CPU and RAM to handle order matching and wallet operations
• Database performance — PostgreSQL or MySQL optimized for high-throughput transaction processing
• WebSocket support — Real-time order book updates and trade notifications over Tor-optimized WebSocket connections
• Wallet infrastructure — Isolated environments for hot and cold wallet operations with encrypted key storage
• API backend — RESTful and WebSocket APIs accessible via .onion for automated trading bots and integrations

We recommend deploying exchange components across multiple isolated VPS instances — separate servers for the web frontend, order matching engine, wallet daemon, and database — for defense-in-depth security.

Cryptocurrency exchanges are high-value targets for hackers. AnubizHost applies rigorous security hardening:

• Cold wallet separation — Keep the majority of funds in offline cold storage, with hot wallets holding only operational liquidity
• Multi-signature wallets — Require multiple keys for withdrawal authorization
• Full-disk encryption — LUKS encryption protects all data at rest
• Firewall hardening — Only Tor-related ports are open; all other traffic is dropped
• Rate limiting — Application-level rate limiting prevents brute-force attacks on user accounts
• Encrypted backups — Automated backups of database and configuration encrypted with GPG

We strongly recommend engaging a professional security auditor before launching any exchange, regardless of scale. AnubizHost provides the secure infrastructure layer — application security is the operator's responsibility.
