Monero (XMR) is the preferred payment method on TorZon Market, and for good reason — it provides genuine, protocol-level privacy for every transaction. But simply using XMR is not sufficient if it was acquired from a KYC exchange or handled carelessly. This guide provides a complete, practical walkthrough of a privacy-maximising XMR transaction workflow.
The first step in a private XMR transaction chain is private acquisition. If you purchase XMR from a KYC exchange (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken), your identity is linked to those coins from the moment of purchase — and this linkage persists even through Monero''s privacy protocols, because the link exists before the coins enter the XMR network.
The recommended approaches for private acquisition are: Haveno (haveno.network) — a fully decentralised, no-KYC P2P exchange specifically for XMR; LocalMonero (localmonero.co) — P2P cash trading with local traders; or BTC-to-XMR atomic swaps via UnstoppableSwap (unstoppableswap.net) if you have already obtained BTC through a private channel. For a full comparison of these options, see our detailed XMR acquisition guide.
Download Feather Wallet from featherwallet.org or the official Monero GUI from getmonero.org. Generate a new wallet and record your 25-word seed phrase on paper — never digitally. Enable Tor integration within the wallet (Feather Wallet supports this natively). Connect to a trusted Monero node or run your own for maximum privacy.
Navigate to TorZon Market''s deposit section (accessed via the verified TorZon Onion address on our access page) and copy your unique deposit address. In your Monero wallet, paste this address — always paste, never type — and send the required amount. Standard priority is sufficient; no need for rush fees. Wait for 10 confirmations (approximately 20 minutes) before the funds appear in your marketplace balance.
Withdraw XMR from the marketplace promptly after completed orders. Send to your personal Monero wallet, not to an exchange. When you are ready to convert XMR back to fiat, use a KYC-free method or exchange only what you need at any given time to minimise exposure.
