No-KYC Improvement Proposals
Open standards that let users of no-KYC swaps and services check what they were promised, without trusting the operator and without giving up their privacy.
Anyone can propose, review or implement an NKIP: exchanges, aggregators, directories, wallet and extension authors. Proposals are vendor-neutral, ship with schemas and test vectors, and are dedicated to the public domain.

Principles
- Verifiable, not trusted. A claim counts when it can be checked from signatures and public chains.
- Private by construction. Public records hold hashes, never plaintext addresses or amounts.
- No gatekeeper. No NKIP requires one company's server; every role can be run by anyone.
- No KYC, ever. No NKIP asks either party to identify themselves.
