Mixing basicsWhat does a stablecoin mixer actually do?
It pools deposits from many senders and pays out from that pool, so the direct on-chain link between your deposit and withdrawal address is broken. This reduces public linkage and raises the cost of tracing; it does not delete the ledger.
Mixing basicsDoes mixing make my transfer anonymous?
No. Anyone who promises anonymity or untraceability is overselling. Mixing increases analytical uncertainty. The underlying ledger stays public and permanent.
Mixing basicsIs Trust Mixer itself a mixer?
No. Trust Mixer is an independent verification and education interface. It does not mix funds, hold funds, or operate a wallet.
How we verifyWhy do you use statuses instead of a score?
A single number hides how it was produced. We assign each claim a status — verified, partially verified, claimed, not published, unknown, or failed — with a source and a date, so you can re-check it yourself.
How we verifyWhat does 'Claimed by provider' mean?
The operator or a third party stated it, and we could not independently confirm it here. We report the claim honestly rather than presenting it as fact.
How we verifyWhy is a fee often 'Not published'?
There is no stable public figure to cite. Real fees and minimums vary by route and moment, and are shown on the interface at request time — not fabricated here.
Issuer controlCan Tether or Circle freeze my stablecoins?
Yes. Both issuers can freeze balances at the contract level. This authority is independent of any mixer and cannot be reversed by mixing.
Issuer controlDoes the network I choose change issuer control?
No. Issuer freeze authority follows the token, not the chain. USDT is controlled by Tether on TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain alike; USDC by Circle on Ethereum and Base.
Safety and scamsWhat is the most common mixer scam?
A surprise 'AML hold' after you deposit, demanding an extra 'release fee'. Legitimate terms are fixed up front. Paying more never unlocks the funds.
Safety and scamsHow do I know I'm on the real site and not a clone?
Read the exact hostname and compare it to a source you already trust. Clones copy everything except the correct domain. Never rely on a link from an ad or DM.
Legal and riskIs using a mixer illegal?
In most jurisdictions, using a mixer for lawfully held funds is not automatically a crime, while operating one without the right licences can be. Rules vary by country and change. This is general information, not legal advice.
Legal and riskWill an exchange accept funds with a mixing history?
There is no guarantee. Exchanges run their own inbound screening and may question, freeze, or return such deposits. Assume scrutiny.
