# NonKYC > Exchanging crypto. Protecting identity. NonKYC is a cryptocurrency exchange that lets users trade digital assets across spot markets and liquidity pools without identity verification requirements. NonKYC is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that does not require identity verification, targeting traders who value privacy when trading small and mid-cap digital assets. The platform addresses the need for anonymous access to a wide range of tokens, including privacy-focused coins, without submitting personal documentation. It operates a proprietary browser-based trading system built for speed and continuous uptime. Users can trade across spot markets, contribute to automated market maker liquidity pools, access perpetual futures through a partner interface, and integrate programmatically via public APIs. Most user funds are held in offline cold storage, with a smaller operational balance kept in hot wallets for fast withdrawals, and accounts are protected with multi-factor authentication. The exchange also maintains routine backups of wallets and databases across separate facilities. Its native token, NKYC, is used to reduce trading fees for holders, and the platform additionally offers services such as asset listing, market making, and a referral program. NonKYC is used by traders seeking exposure to smaller-cap and privacy-oriented cryptocurrencies alongside major assets, without a KYC onboarding process. - Type: Company - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2023-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/nonkyc ## Products - [NonKYC Exchange](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nonkyc): NonKYC Exchange is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange for spot trading without identity verification, with markets in major assets, stablecoins, privacy coins and small or mid-cap tokens.
